What have you done to my game?
 

I had it working great, no stutters, smooth play, great graphics. But now after this so called beta patch it runs like xxxx. Sutters, stops and looks bad.

I did have everything maxed but now I have everything meduim or low with no grass just to smooth it out a bit, and it still halts and stutters.

I was afraid of this happening, just to placate the texture whinners you guys changed something that robs me of performance.

System:
I7 to 3.35
GTX 580
and the usual other tweaks and fine tuning.

They haven't had time to optimise the changes they made to the graphics engine yet. It'll run better when the official patch comes out.

Thanks, I really hope your correct.

Did you clear your cache and defrag your game dir?

Using the Steam "verify local files" option should set you back to the last official patch.

What jockey said.

Go to the 1CSoftClub folder in your documents folder, find the cache folder inside and delete everything exept the shaders subfolder, but again everything inside the subfolder. Run the game, the first time you will experience longer load times and some slight stuttering in flight as the game rebuilds the cache folder, second run should be fine.


In addition go to the game in your steam library and right click on the game, go to properties, local files and defrag the cache files.

Yes guys I did all that when I downloaded the patch so that is not the cause. I might revert to the pre patch version but the main thing is why does it change performance for me?

it's not only you, mine also is very bad, after some minutes online I only get 1 FPS. If you look at the launcher.exe in the task manager, mine jump from 500 mb to over 1 gb then drop again at 500mb only if I just connect to a server and open a map, there is something wrong with the patch.

Yep...BETA patch...Final official not yet released...Now, you know why !;)

SAlute !

Delete/rename the UBI logo wmv if you haven't done that.

Also, I noticed a higher usage of vram with this beta. Like the problem we had a couple of patches back when the game ate all the vram till the game slowed to a halt.
