After the patch have massive stuttening/freezes and the black with a red square screen on the game launching.

So can you confirm?

Are you on the international version of the game?

Anyone with the black with a red square screen, have the Russian versions aswell?

Developers, any word about the black with a red square screen?

I have the English version bought at steam. That red square screen you are talking about, I have it too when launching the game but no CTD or less performance due to that.

To be honest I could never have imagined that the intro video could slow down my graphic card. So far I am really surprised because I get almost no stuttering at all and frame rates are more than playable.

I have to test it in multiplayer.

Yeah i think its true, of course no ubi logo in russian version, only at international version, maybe Luthier doesen't seen that bug talking here, of course there is no talk about it on Sukhoi forums because no that ubilogo bug at all

First Ubi's epilepsyfilterFiasco and then that, LOL.

Thanks for bringing this one up again, I have broadly similar specs to you and have been almost unable to run cod. I tried the new patch and it made a small but positive difference, but with this aswell I can almost max out my settings!

Low level is problematical still but still vastly better than before, the only problem is the ctds. I am now getting a lot where I had none before.

Not sure which I prefer tbh: a broken game that chugged along, almost totally unplayable, or a semi-fixed game that crashes every 10mins!

This tweak must of been what gave me a big fps boost as well

I did this this tweak when I updated my ati drivers to 12.4 and I thought the update gave me the boost

This is a great little find, just applied said fix and my FPS went from around 25-30 to something around 50-80. Has made an unreal difference.

I must be one of the lucky ones as I have never experienced CTD bug at all, game is good to play in general. Biggest let down is the AI!!

PC
I5 750 2.66ghz 3.2ghz boost
12gb ddr3 ram
ATI hd 5850 1gb vram
win 7 64

I thought my pc was ageing, however I could play nearly all other games on max settings DCS a10 for one. Never occured to me that because of the intro my gfx may have been on idle speed of 300mhz compared to full throttle speed of 760mhz.

One happy camper

Did it really have influence on the real gameplay? I just thought, that the video intro just caused problem in the fps of replays!?! But when I am thinking about it, it should also effect the game itself logically.

That is a known bug, where the video card do not speed up, because it thinks, that the whole game is a video/movie. So some ati cards just speed up to a "movie watching preset clock"!

First thing, that I nnoticed with my new hd7970 was, that it just speeds up from desktop or 2D mode to something around 500 MHz core clock,, although this card is normally running above 1 GHz.

I found out with msi afterburner and its ingame overlay.

It is good, that u mentioned it again for all new guys. The topic is "not good" and I initially wanted to suggest to close another senseless thread next to others, where people already complaining. So, there is no need for a personal complaing thread. Perhaps someone close this and put this tipp into a more suitable thread. - Your decision
