Probably not the reason but if you had a flash video running in the background it halves your fps.

Who has video running while playing CLOD?

I thought it improved here!

I deleted the cache folder and had a complete improvement. May be my impression, but it could be that had something flash behind when I was testing, I do not really remember.

Thank you for your service

4 hours of constant flying with numerous contacts and fights - no crash as of yet. Performance like pre hotfix. Great work!Have to monitor it some more but my hope is big that the time of a shelved Clod are gone

Best part to me is the landscape and reflections. Now the transition of color off to the horizon looks normal instead of blocky. Just check out a big city. Huge improvement guys!

Here's some mornin screenies online:

thx for the update ATAG bliss,
the new engine is a success, now they can at last slowly enable all the hidden wonders and fine tuning capabilities the game has, the work is paying off, the team must be delighted
it's gonna be insane

let's roll and release another alpha

Anyone getting huge pauses?

I cleared out my cache already but when I flew the hurricane in the free flight over england i was getting 5-6 second pauses. Is this just the cache rebuilding itself maybe?

I do have work software running in the background so that could be the cause...can't switch it off right now.

Think im going to try a reinstall.

We’re not done investigating that one yet however, so we haven’t yet fixed it.

On that note, for those who don't have dedicated game PC, as in they have alot of 'other' software installed for work or what ever, and are 'not' that good at manually configuring their PC for game play.. Those types should consider looking at IOBit's Game Booster. It can unloaded alot of un-necessary programs and generally optimse your PC prior to launching the game.
