Hi all.
Firstly, I followed Blackdog's recommendations regarding patching.
Flying over England with a variation of the Manston QMB mission (Flying a Spit). I got great performance pretty much capped at the v-sync limit of 60 FPS all the way through..no degradation in FPS over the course of the mission (which had been a really frustrating problem for me) - so a cautious thumbs up so far as I have not done enough testing to confirm if the FPS degradation issue is completely sorted.
Flying over France is a different story however... Using the "British - Attack Column" QMB mission...
FPS basically halved (low 30s FPS dipping into the high 20s), but I had always have had lower FPS flying over France. The really bad thing is I am getting crash to desktop every single time I try this mission. I have tried it 8 times and have crashed to desktop each time a few minutes into the mission. I have ever only had one or two crashes across all patches (beta and official since game release.
I tired the log thing and it gave me the following;
------------ BEGIN log session -------------
Loading mission ...
Load landscape...
Load bridges
LongBridge: wrong width. (3)
Load static objects...
Spawn.get( Armor.custom_chief47 ) NOT FOUND
Server: SFChammer will fly for the Red forces.
Mission loaded. time = 10.688
Battle starting...
It doesn't say anything after the mission has started. Hope this is of some help.
EDIT: just been flying over England again...Manston QMB mission again. No crashes (again), but the log gave the following errors;
[6400] ERROR [SOUND] Sample $bob/speech/gb/Actor1/Feet.wav not found
[8576] ERROR [SOUND] Sample $bob/speech/gb/Actor1/Feet.wav not found
[8704] ERROR [SOUND] Sample $bob/speech/gb/Actor1/Feet.wav not found
[15628] ERROR [SOUND] Sample $bob/speech/gb/Actor1/start_pusuit.wav not found
Probably to do with the fact the list of radio commands have been reduced since the beta patch, so that presumably only the ones that are now working are shown on the in game GUI. Devs are no doubt aware that these errors would now show up in the log, but thought I may as well post them anyway.
