OLD BETA patch 14413 - May 4, 2011(!!!) - do not install!

[gonk]

Is anyone really testing this ? or is it just a bunch of employees talking it up ? This patch is terrible.... Two or us have the exact same problems...

1. Micro Stutters are back...MP only ... SP is good.
2. Can not exit multiplayer games. Press ESC, then hit exit ... and nothing... just sits there...

rolling back...

rolled back to last official steam patch.. micro stutters have reduced...
and the EXIT button works..

Got exact same Problems. Stuttering only in MP. SP is smooth. Unable to exit from Game and sadly no SLI working at all.
Rolled back to previous betapatch wich runs fine for me.

My mate has a similar system to mine but he has 2 GTX 580's in SLI. We ran the in game frame rate tool and prior to the lasted patch we ran the same Average rate.. Now I get 30 in Black Death and he gets 58 average. (vsynch off for the test)

He set Force Alternate Frame Rendering 1.... under nvidia control panel.

Thanks. Ill go and do a fresh install this evening hoping this will change anything. A word from Luthier to clear up the confusion on SLI would be nice. Patchnotes can be understood either way. That SLI is part of this patch or will be part of the next one...
If it was part of this one the patchnotes should read "SLI AND Crossfire support" not just "Crossfire Beta support".
Also some information on wich driver version they used to test SLI and wich Rendering mode gave the best results (SFR, AFR, AFR2 and so on) would be nice as well.

Im the one that tests with gonk, for SLI you have to go into control panel and under "Manage 3D settings" select "Program Settings" tab. Add the launcher.exe to make a profile for COD found in "Steam\SteamApps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\launcher.exe".

Down the feature list for "SLI rendering mode" select "Force alternate frame rendering 1". I also enable Vsync in the game so its a good idea to enable Triple buffering as well.

The reason SLI is not enabled by default is because the launcher.exe is set to single card by default by the devs for the purpose of making the game compatible for non beta users.

For the benchmark I had these game settings:
4x AA although it doesn't look like it works properly.
SSAO on
Vsync off
Anti hetro filter off
Everything else on maximum except building amount on medium. =58fps average on the black death.

This beta enabling SLI is all dandy if you only play single player but I only play multiplayer.... My fps in multi is still very high but there is some strange shit going on that makes it unplayable..

im not sure its i reset the system

but get with the new patch full screen 50-60 fps over london outside view on default minimum settings

cant do much playing though cause have to study

but this game is too good, oh why havent you released it after my exams

i really like the thing of having to close up to down someone

Would just like to report that I DON'T have (and never have had) the blue line horizon artifact with my HD 6850. I guess it's a HD 69xx series problem since most people that have the problem seems to have HD 69xx cards. Maybe that will narrow down the troubleshooting. Screenshot of "artifact free" horizon below:
