It's not our imaginaton. Tha game runs much more fluid now, even with higher graphics settings, even SSAO!

It's not just placebo effect!

Just deleted cache, fired up CoD. To my Mark 1 eyeball I seem to be achieving smoother play with somewhat higher frame rates and less micro stuttering. More significantly for me, since going SLI I was getting a lot of water flickering over the channel which has now stopped completely (pending further test flying) from both within cockpit views and external. As Martha Stewart would say, "This is a good thing."

Is it ok to delete cache?

you only delete the contents of the folder, not the actual folder itself. The idea is that then the the game rebuilds the Cache and something great happens apparently.

S!

Do not delete the folder but it's contents and you are safe.

I always make a copy of the cache before deleting its contents and rename it "old cache" -- just in case! Same for any conf.ini files, etc. If the new cache works fine, then you can simply delete the "old cache" since it's no longer needed.

As I see, for me no more pop-up and block buildings.

I do seem to have a slightly higher frame rate in the Black Death on my laptop. Not tried the main PC yet as it's in bit.
