If not, you are the first I see here saying that. You "opinion" until now is that you don't believe that anything with "only" 20MB can do something relevant in performance gains, and this "opinion" I can easily not even take into account, because is nonsense.

You seem to have me confused with someone that cares deeply about your claim that the fps is improved..

Know now that I am not that person!

As I told you before, if you think your seeing an improvement in your fps, hey good for you! I hope you are seeing an improvement!

And again I'm sorry if my line of reasoning upsets you, that being that I find it odd that such a small patch would have the big effect your claiming to see. I also find it odd that the patch did not change the reported version number of the game (as some have said, I didn't take note of the version prior to the patch so I'm taking their word on that). If true that alone would suggest this is more of a STEAM house keeping update than a CoD patch. There, that is my extended opinion. Your welcome to digest it or toss it, either way is fine by me.

Isn't only me. Search the topics. I'm not "claiming", I'm TESTING. Some saw gains, I tested myself and saw gains regards performance too. Really simple to do... I don't do ' "brainstorm" of what this uptade is, just saw the results.

But you are just trolling around. Not even tested if performance changed or not. Congrats! People like you move the world!

Just a note, genious: why in hell do you think that "STEAM house keeping update" can't improve performance? Think a minute after saying a lot of nonsense to support your "point"... People saw gains some time ago with Steam Cloud disabled in CloD... Research a little.

Well this is not my first rodeo..

That and I understand just how easy the human senses can be fooled. That being if someone really Really REALLY wants to see something.. they typically will see it (within reason). A good example being some of the ghost hunter shows on cable, but I digress.

I will say this, I hope I am wrong! I hope you are seeing a fps increase!

But know this, thus far you have provided no proof of it. Sorry if it upsets you, but just because you call it testing, it does not mean it qualify as a test. Not in the scientific method mind set where it is repeatable and measurable.

On that note, what 'tools' are you using to measure the fps? What baseline playback file (ala black death track find in IL2) are you using to preform your before and after tests on? Or is it safe to assume that your definition of TEST TOOLS is your eyeballs?

The best tool is attacking a formation of +10 He111 in the same mission I fly in regular basis testing CloD performance, with recorded tracks and with all "stutter points" marked.

You assume people are idiot. We aren't. Test it yourself or just shut up. I have LOTS of videos in YouTube - Black Death too. Tomorrow I'll upload the retesting of this track with this update. I run it here and my" eyeballs" saw much more fluid FPS in HIGHER settings...

But you are the "FMs expert". You are a science man, sorry if my not-double blind study can't change your mind. My fault!

Roger.. so no formal let alone repeatable or measurable test method.. Got it!

On a related note, I noticed that you keep avoiding answering the following items I brought up, i.e.

1) The patch did not change the version number of the game.
2) Human senses are easily fooled.
3) You have no before and after tests that show the increase.
4) You have not used any tools other than your eyes to measure the increase.

Is that because you see the logic in what I am saying and realize that any attempt on your part to try and explain them away will only show everyone how weak your argument is? Or is it something else?

I never had maximum 60 FPS in The Black Death track, in the settings I used t use to test. Just like SacaSoh.

Now I achieve this maximum FPS with all settings up, besides trees and Land Detail, that I keep in low/medium, and AA disabled ingame. Even SSAO I turn on. AND I DON'T HAVE ANY TEXTURE STREAMING STUTTER IN QUICKMISSION OVER LONDON, EVEN WITH TEXTURES IN "ORIGINAL" AND BUILDINGS IN "UNLIMITED"! THAT'S NEVER HAPPENS BEFORE!

It's something that I can test and provide some "numbers": 60 and ZERO! I'm not trying to argument with you, you are very limited but believe that are the savior of logic, typical behaviour of people with emotional problems. I want that you be happy. Good luck in your journey!

If people can test some perfromance increase - or not - will be nice!

Exactly. Native MSAA in CloD still not working, I still using the FXAA "fix and after this update I saw - with same VGA - much less anoying stutters in stressfull situations and better FPS. And that with HIGHER settigs that I was using before this update.

It's not "subjective" or "placebo". Just test it. Why in hell is so hard to peple do that BEFORE jump here to talk crap?!

Really strange this "community"... It's "good news bullet proof"...

Tested here... it can be placebo effect or coincidence, but on black death, keeping the FSAA dll, i'm getting about 10fps, didn't do a "scientific" equal view angles test, but on explosions, groups of planes, etc i've got a noticeable increase in performance (sometimes it "locked" on 60fps for some time, absolutely sure that it never happended before on black death). But, as i said, it can be a coincidence.

Edit: didn't see LoBiSoMeM post... now this i call coincidence.

Our eyeballs can see +10 FPS and less stutters changes... We are almost X-Men!

Some "scientific testing":



In this custom mission, I ALWAYS had noticeable FPS drop when engaging large bomber formations. Now, after Steam update, you can see for yourselfs and compare with all other videos recorded over Dover in my YT channel. And this video up I record with old version of FRAPS and not in a reorded track, but during flight, and with all settings - but forest and Land Detail, on highest. No major FPS drop/stutters - even with view change and in really stressfull situations. Big gain!
