Heavy Stutters near enemy planes on ATAG

It's made it unplayable near bomber formations.
It's definitely not anti-virus.

I do notice that both Continu0 and I have fairly slow processors.

I reinstalled the gfx drivers that came with my card and then DIDNT update them... Fixed it. The drivers are from 2010 I think.

UH? 2010 drivers? Ok, progression isn't always better. Could it be that newer drivers aren't that good in supporting the older cards?

Hi,
cause this thread is going round the ATAG Server. With the latest BETA Patch I only see one server in the server browser.

where is ATAG?

Where are all the other servers like repka?

Is it possible you are looking at Multiplayer/Lobby?
That part only has self-hosted games..for the dedicated servers check out Multiplayer/Client.

Is it something to do with video ram? The pilot skins in Clod are 8192x pixels wide or some such, as opposed to 512x in Il-2. Closing in on a bomber must be pretty demanding when the final LoD kicks in and you have to load all those crew textures.

I would have though a pretty modern 2 GB GPU card like my 6950 (flashed into a 6970) would cope well... as long as the textures are already loaded.
I wondered if the CloD texture manager had sacrificed 'plane textures for landscape in the recent patch and hotfix - and those of us with slowish processors feel it because the texture manager is using the CPU to load them?
But, to be honest, I know nothing about texture management.

I've no slow downs since the mini fix patch on the ATAG server. Running a GTX480 (1.5Gb vram). Smooth as silk even in 5 plane furballs over land, with all setting maxed out.

In my case, I don´t think it´s a Video-Problem.

Today I flew in the middle of a 9-Bomber-Formation (AI) and had normal FPS, whereas I chased a bf-110 (player) and I had like 5 fps and less...
