Patch 3 , frame rate dropped bad

[mipoikel]

I've never had any bad problems with AH2.  Anyway, latest patch (3) dropped my frame rates from 40-85 to 15-30.

Ofcourse over sea it is still about 80.

Same here basically,
 Went from a playable game to not, fps dropped.
Didn't change anything graphic wise and went from 60 to 29.
Now I can get only 50 when I use default graphic settings. ANd that's all in the tower.
 Just gotta A Herc 9800 pro and made no difference in fps from the old asus 4600u. Tried everything and can't get it to go higher.

All was fine till latest patch.

Video memory use came down about 10-15% which I guess is good, but at the same time, my frame rate drops off about 45%. I have gone from a fairly rock hard 59 fps to a fluxuating 7-35.  Bad enough at times I can barely control the plane enough to keep from crashing.
This started with patch 3, and had hoped 4 would fix it. 4 increased my frames a little, but in combat situations they drop right back off.

i have noticed the frame rate fall out as well. i have an hp pavilion with an intel pent 4HT with 2.6ghz processor speed, and an ati radeon 9600SE AGP slotted with 128mb, when i ctrl i it shows i have 130.8 or something like that, at ne rate in "calm" skies i have a rather steady 59 fps but soon as i get into a furball or mass take off my fps drop like a lead balloon in a 10g enviroment. ne ideas? also i lost the location of the vid memory sink hole post, but ive also noticed that when i first get in the game vid mem used is at about 30-40mb then as time goes by it steadily increases towards max. why is this.

Exactly same problem here: FPS drop dramatically from 130 flying high alone to 15-20 when fighting (not necessarly when many planes around).
I tried reducing details/distance sliders: it made no difference.



AH2 settings:
1280*1024
Details and rendering distance: sliders at about 50%
Textures res:1024
