XP Pro
512mb DDR
Radeon 9800 Pro
Omega drivers based on 4.6 cats
P4 3.2
In game settings have always been 1280 res and 512 tex, mip maps etc all enabled.
Vid drivers at 4 AA, 8 AF all at max quality.
In flight in all previous versions of AH2 i would never drop below 40 fps and frquently hit the monitor refresh of 100.
Suffered no freeze or stuttering problems for several versions now.
Unfortunately with patch 5 it has deteriorated to the point i no longer wish to play.
I have altered nothing on my comp between patch 4 and 5 and have lost approx 10 fps in tower with patch 5.
In flight its ok the higher you go, but where i would spawn onto runway with a minimum of 40fps its now at 28.
Whats worse now is if manouvering at low alt the game is stuttering, for example if looking dead ahead (or out the side) and i do a roll instead of being smooth it is now jerky.
Best description i can come up with is, the horizon instead of being in one place is drawing another position update before the original position is withdrawn.
Needless to say its now unplayable at low altitudes for me and my setup.
AH canned for the night, off to read a book.
Anything you want me to try or run HT just ask.
I noticed in the other thread Hajo who has been playing since beta with me is now reporting the same problems with completly different hardware.
Edit, i should mention the loss of performance started with the AHtest version.
Also reverted to cat 4.5 drivers, deleted cache folder, uninstalled firewall all to no effect.
Best of luck finding these problems HT.
