I will play angry birds then.

The devs would be better off only allowing volunteers to access critical development patches and to give feedback with a proviso that the feedback is kept confidential.

I have been testing the patch and SP performance is very much improved regards FPS, stutters, etc. MP is causing frequent CTD problems for me but I continue to try and test and will then send my Log/crash files with as much supporting/relevant info as possible.

I heaven't been flying much MP due to some issues with my water setting after installing patch, and still i CTD'd after a few minutes flying SP. But only in those QMB where other planes where involved and around me.

Flying the crosscountry or any of the other free flight ones seemed to work nicely. Steady 60 FPS. The flow and feel of the game in general seemed much smoother wich was rather nice.

Sad to say this beta is pretty useless to me. Still I cant announce i am ready to takeoff. Still AI dosent follow me when i am lead. If that basics of game dosent work whats the point? Sorry bought game for 50Eur on steam when released and still cant play it.

OK Justme262 I have an nvidia gtx 570 , how would I go about getting fxaa and does it work good ?

I have texture Original, and Full Screen but it shows only a frame now.

I have re-set textures to High and adjusted others and the mirrors are rendering but were not before using textures = 'high'.

It seems that the mirror rendering is affected by the combination of video options rather than just one particular setting.

Patch will not run!!
 

Followed all the instructions originally posted by Blackdog_kt and added the patch as instructed. When starting, the gold reticle comes up, then disappears and the game goes no further. The reticle disappears after several seconds then nothing, just the Windows desktop.

Please help!!

I have same card and it works fine. Unlike normal AA which smooths (including slightly blurring) the edges of only the 3D objects like cockpit frames, FXAA slightly blurs the whole screen image. The only downside is that text like that in the info windows is blurred but its still readable. FXAA uses less GPU resources than normal AA but as soon as CoD enables AA properly I will go back to AA.

You will need the Nvidia beta driver 301.24, the earlier ones don't include FXAA :-

It is a BETA so you use it at your own risk but I have had no problems with it.

Ataros suggested to set Windowed mode in the conf.ini, start the game and then set Full Screen inside the game.

Cheers!
