Beta 33 - Screen Freezes

In this beta I got the freezes -- several and often -- only on my first sortie out ... with no other planes even within icon range.

Once I had encountered some other planes (friendly air/ground and then nmy) I noticed no more freezes or warps.

Beta 33 - Screen Freezes

Beta 30 was great for me.  Everything was smooth, no stutters.

Beta 33 at start up things were very stuttery they smoothed the longer I flew, but after nearly 2 hours,  Beta 33 still wasn't anywhere as smooth as 30.

1. I had some screen freezes
2. Views a bit sticky at times
3. Planes partially submerged in the ground.
4. The busier the text buffer the less smooth AH II became
5. Visually flattened a FH yet no credit in Buffer.  BH at the same field gave the destroyed text
6. When I click on Enter to enter the arena Mouse movement slows

General statment:  I have my Visibilty set 3 miles but the FHs seem to morph out very rapidly.

In all....Not a kind update for me!

This afternoon I had screen freezes, but I noticed that I had a large number of skins being loaded as I participated.

Later this evening I went back and experienced no screen freezes.

I did notice the redraws on the clipboard, text area and so on are extremely slow.

I had a puter complete freeze when I 1st clicked the "Online" button, did a hard reboot, launched it a 2nd time and it worked fine then.

I have less screen freezes too, (screen freezes on text typing seems to be gone), but I have some white spots appearing here & there while typing and looking at the clipboard.

I went from an average 30fps to 40.
