Performance:

No notable difference from before patch. Stuttering when low over land or sea, and every so often in the air (these can be slower stutters which pause the game for longer, but do not happen often?). The former affects the sound aswell, which sometimes cuts out permanently until game is restarted. I have just now had some smooth performance when low over sea (and once over a small part of an island) but it's somewhat random - stutters will come and go. Possible somewhat to do with direction? I was out to sea on the cross vs roundels map for the most part just now and some directions might have been smoother but it was mostly random.

Above low altitude performace over land seems to be worse in general than over sea.

I have had the feeling there might be a memory leak somewhere as I noticed performance degrading gradually as you played the game over a certain period. Im not sure if this is still present in the patch as it is.

I currently play the game exlusively in dog-fights/bomber intercepts, on the cross vs. roundel map (over the sea part) or over the channel. No landings or taking off, and no campaign/training. In these circumstances the game is playable for the most part.

to the little crosshair popping up for half a second, dissapearing, and nothing happening with the patch.

After installing the beta patch, launcher.exe now crashes immediately when I try to start the game. I don't even get to the splash page. When installing the patch, I was prompted to overwrite my existing files so the patch files were installed to the correct path.

Here's the crash info:

I put in the patch and the game would not start.
took out the patch and the game worked better then it did before the patch.

Intel core Duo E8600 @ 3.33GHz
3.00GB OF RAM.
Video card GTX 470
MOBO- Gigabyte GA-EP45_UD3P
Windows XP Pro 32bit.

I was not able to start the missions in 1280x1024 before I put in and then took out the patch now it will.

I have the 470 set at use my preference emphasizing- Quality.

No forest and grass (sure wish I could in XP) all others set at High but building amount set at low.

flying in Aerial battle-Dover, and flyable. fps up and down.

Dont know why the patch will not work. any Ideas ? UK version of CoD.

Also the sounds work better not fading in and out. So far.

This is flying off line. If that matters.

Another small problem: I played the single mission Bomber Intercept - Ships, we chased off the bombers and once the flight home commenced I switched to AI and increased sim speed. The game froze, but with audio and I could still look around and change views. I tried to un-pause, decrease speed, esc and return but nothing would get it going again.

I very happy to say that after I saved the rendobj.dll and the parts file from the most recent version which is 1.00.13820 and let the new game version 1.00.13915 over Wright them it loads. And works-------- WELL HOW CAN I SAY THIS? GREAT!!!!!!!!!

Still have the same specks as the first post and in the bigger part of the formations I'm getting low FPS but things are happing like frost on the wind shield the front right hood got shot off and no telling what other things happen I have not seen happen before.

for the people that are having the game not start after you put in the patch. LET IT OVER WRIGHT YOUR FILES. Not yelling just what you to see this and understand.

This CoD it getting good.
Thanks for the fixes. The more salt you eat the sweeter the sugar. Now take off the mask and lets see the real CoD. I joke, I joke!

Please remember guys Posting system specs WITHOUT operating system details is next to useless for the devs. They need to know what the OS is as well as all the rest. Some are still missing this detail.

Even after further testing the situation remains the same. No performance gain but then the game already ran pretty smoothly before.

OK. First impression. It is better. I'm back to my native resolution (witch was unplayable before). But I'm not satisfied. 25 FPS over sea. Will try with lower resolution over the ground. Still "black shark net" over the sea.
