Why lower your resolution from anythign thats not native to the monitor? Things start to look funny (kinds blurry) if i do that with my monitors.

I have a high-end pc and the patch improved the game for me, I still have some stutters though.

Here is my latest test vid, if you jump to about 2:15 you can see some nice ground scenery and the little bit of stuttering I have. Still it did not affect my playing though. Was recorded during play (1920x1080).

Settings - Everything set to max it can go
1920x1080
Roads / Grass - Off
Shadows - On/Off on some clips.

i7-2600k

Hi,mate.Could you post your video settings over cities and over water?

I did a reinstall of windows last night and it seems to have helped a fair bit, though no luck with turning off Anti-aliasing, I don't notice an improvement.

Do you mean my .ini file?

For the video settings I had everything at the max it could go in the options screen but had roads/grass disabled and in some cases in the video shadows were disabled as well, but not always as I was fooling around with it at the time.

As far as over cities and water I use the same video settings.

Those who still have stutters try putting Buildings to Unlimited (w. low detail) or my settings below.

Do not complain if you did not put shadows to low or off ))

Because it doesnt get good fps at such high resolutions currently!! keep the aspect ratio the same 16:9 and it shouldnt look funny try 1280x720 or around there. You should see a significant fps increase. And dont use AA unless you can maintain >50 fps. AA at 4x will lower your fps by almost 40-50%
