Beta Patch-Good/Bad. All discussions here please.
 

Well alot of the stuttering has now gone,
Just checked the free flight channel mission, a Very good improvement
Back for more testing
Also all my resolotions are now showing up in options, did you fix this?

Josh

Hi Josh,

What are your system specs? No improvement for me with the patch unfortunately. Still lots of stuttering/micro freeze over land and very little if any fps gain.

what's your resolution doc uk ?

800x600 :-P

same for me

very sad...

Pre vs post-patch track comparison
 

I've already posted this question in the beta patch thread but I sense it will get buried pretty quickly in the avalanche of feedback...

Question: should tracks taken pre-patch have performance change post-patch? If so (and I don't see why not) then there is zero FPS change on my rig on a free flight over Dover. Of course, if pre-patch track FPS won't change post-patch then I guess I wasted my time!

Beta Patch. disappointed!
 

Hey.
The beta patch is out!
Have read the Beta Patch thread and seen that a lot of people got very little performance, or even no performance at all.
I know it's a beta patch, but it's supposed to make some preformance ?
Now im even more worried for the real patch to come... I have the feeling that the real patch will do little preformance to the game. I have installed and tested the game with the patch and the right version. No preformance at all. Got the same fps over water, trees and cities. It's even more stutters now than before... The game crashes... The list goes forever.

Sorry for my bad English.

Ive also noticed this ProcessAffinityMask=2 has gone back to default, i had it on 15, for 4 cores
