That might lead to stutters and low fps when objects appear for the first time.

But its a childish overreaction imo anyway.

I thought it was common knowledge that after an update you start the game, then quit and restart it so that the cache is built before you play?

I have no problem with the patch, and the spit Ia got the CSP prop pitch

I have no problem. I like it. Sure, have to test more but my first impression is good

The game looks three years older now and it runs quite a bit worse than the last official version.
When I get clouds in view my fps drops down to single digits, with two planes in view, in the middle of the chanel.

I'll try a bit more, but honestly, I have no use for the game as it looks and runs now.

I had quite a hit when I installed the last beta so I tried changing a few things, in the end changing to 'psuedo' fullscreen mode did the trick, smooth as butter now...

I dunno, sounds are awesome, and colors look "darn right" now.

But, my FPS is down in the drain. In particular when flying through a cloud - drops down to 15 FPS!

In comparison with the latest official patch, I lost some 20 frames - that is with OC-ing my rig in the process!

Specs:

i52500k @ 4.5 GHz
Asus P8P67 EVO
GTX 580 Lightning (driver v. 275.33)
2x4 GB RAM

Res: 1920x1200

And no, I don't have Epilepsy Filter on.

hi thor, i've got a similarish system, but with my 580 overclocked i'm using the 285.38 beta drivers, and there working good.

Thanks, will try that and report back.

No change. Few FPS more, but nothing to write home about. Flying through clouds still murders my FPS.

With last official patch I had 30-40 FPS almost constant with everything on max except textures. Not anymore. Seems this patch was intended for ATI users.

Back to the shelf with this one. Perhaps the next official patch makes it playable again.
