System Questionnaire

1- Are you having problems with stutters in Patch 5? If yes, please describe the frequency, conditions, and severity with which they occur and specify when you began having the problem. If no, please specify whether you had a problem in the past with AH2 and what version or change to your system alleviated it.
Yes. A LOT!  Anywhere from microfreeze to the one that just fried me and I came to the BBS to report it. Another one of the 8 second screen freezes, which occured as I got close to an enemy P-38, of course I was pointed towards the ground, on unfreeze, instant death! I don't think it was the P-38, I had already got within 200 of it on a previuos merge, I think it was a friendly plane that cam e close to me on the chase that caused it.

The stutters started with Patch 3, no problem before. I reset my textures to 256 on HT's advice that fixed it. But now they are back in patch 5.

 
2- Are you having CTD’s in Patch 5?

No. I had one, but it was my vid card acting up, not AHII. OC'd too much.
I used to get CTd's in AHI a long while ago, but it has been a long time.


3- Are you having a problem with low frame-rate in Patch 5? If yes, please describe your video settings and detail sliders along with your framerate from the tower in offline mode with your clipboard minimized. If no, were you having framerate problems prior to Patch 5 or did you see an improvement in this area with Patch 5?
No FPS problems. My frame rate has been ok since near the end of the beta.

4- What version of Windows are you using?
Win 98 SE

5- What is your CPU brand and speed?
Intel Celeron 1.4

6- What is your motherboard make and model if known?
Intel 440 BX, originally had an Intel P-3 600 Coppermine. The Celeron is an upgrade.

7- What is your video card make and model? Please include amount of memory and whether it is AGP or PCI.
Asylum Nvidia FX-5200 Ultra 128 AGp, DX-9 aware.

8- How much RAM does your system have?
384

9- What make and version are your video drivers?
Nvidia 4.14.10.5664

10- What level is your anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering set to in you video card setup?
AF = Off. AAx2. However I have found AA makes no difference to my stutters.

11- What make and model is your soundcard?
SoundBlaster Live Value

12- What level is your sound hardware acceleration set to?
3/4

13- What firewall program or router do you use if any?
No Firewall. Netgear RP614 router, Comcast cable ISP.

14- What antivirus software do you use if any?
None while in AHII, Norton AV the rest of the time.  

15- What is your Max Texture Size set to in AH?
256

16- What resolution and color depth do you use in AH? What resolution and color depth is your desktop set to?
1024x768, 32 bit color. However I have run 16 bit a lot too, makes no difference. Desktop and AHII both the same (1024x768).

17- What is your Vid Mem Used and Available displaying in AH when you are having problems?
Available is typically 130 ( on a 128 card), Used starts at 19.5 and works it's way up to 42-43.5.

Stutters occur a lot at first, then even three hours later still occur at the worst possible time (just as I get close to an enemey plane!).

These stutters are driving me nuts and very much lessening my enjoyment of this game.

Previous versions i was trying to run at 1200x1600 and was limited FR wise by my monitor. patch 4 seemed to help on the low close to ground flights, but when in air was holding steady 60fps in 1200x1600, now steady 75fps at 1024x1280.
