Can you point me to this post? I thought that the patch was supposed to fix mainly the CTDs, the particles murdering the fps, micro freezes and some other graphical artifacts (ie the horizon bug). At the same time there have been information posted that fps has gone up. But where you read that the patch raises fps by 50% I don`t know. Maybe you need to reread the release notes. So far it states :

which is IMO an estimation and certainly not a promise for a alpha patch. I`d be also more careful about judging everything posted by users on this since some even are having problems with applying the alpha files or do not know if they are really experiencing a different game version.

That's not how rendering bugs work. It's not a problem with the user's PC. It's a problem with the renderer not working well on the user's PC. That means there's a problem with the patch.

For example I get better performance out of this patch, and the game runs much smoother for me (though it crashed 4 times before I could even get into the game :rolleyes: ). My squadmate however, had a crash-to-desktop after about 30 minutes of flying.

Does that mean it's his problem? No, it means it's 1C's problem.

It IS a bug in CoD. A bug that only seems to affect certain hardware configurations.

Completely rewritten render pipeline (link)

That is the main reason.

As to why it performs so bad on your videocard... no idea. Since this beta patch makes the game behave differently in so many areas, I would try resetting the config ini and any specific videocard game profile, if you are using any. IMHO it's worth a shot. Or roll back to the current version and wait for the next patch.

@carguy - You already saw it here>>

>>Most recommended-spec machine will see a roughly double average FPS and a significant reduction in the micro-freezes that had previously plagued the game.<<

Most Pc's? Well my system is much more then the recommended spec and I don't see it. My FPS is more or less the same as it's always been with micro-freezes. But I know people will say it's my Pc and that I'm in the 1% of computers that it's not working for. I really want this game to work as much as anyone else and can only hope the final patch brings some good news.

This sums it up! I want to play this game and have fun, but it seems like that might not ever happen. Most of us have been patient waiting for this fix, but really it seems to be in worse shape 7 months later.

Is what I am saying/said.. Glad to see you agree

So what part of alpha/beta patch are you still confused about?

It is simple

By DL the alpha/beta patch you are willing to be part of the solution..

The way it works.. If you encounter a problem, send in your log files and your dump files like requested..

If your not able to do that without flying off the handle and acting surprised that a alpha/beta patch has issue..

Than I highly recommend you uninstall the alpha/beta patch and wait for the final release patch..

SAVVY?

Well I can tell you what part I'm confused about. When does the alpha/beta patch actually become the final release patch? This time round? The next time? Or maybe the time after that? Is there ever going to be an ending and a finished game?

All right maybe I misread what you wrote.

What kills me is the ammout of work, screenshots etc they were posting of the sequal. Thats what I really think they were working on it wasnt till people said they would not buy the sequal that they started posting more updates about COD.

There is no way what they gave us saturday was 7 months of work. they worked 6 months 2 weeks on the sequal and mabye 2 weeks on COD.

And those that dont like the complaints to bad, everyone on this fourm bought this game and is entitled to there opinions, even if they dont agree with the fan boys. its been a year and a half, time for some results, everytime I see sequal stuff with the game in its current state it pisses me off.
