Sure hoping I wouldn't see any of these posts. I'm at work and won't find out the effect on MY system until morning. Sorry to hear it XJ. Maybe next patch...

Fine for me as well.

warps have nothing to do with the new patch.
Just test it offline, and you will see.....
The htc server had some problems with udps last hours.

The patch is wonderful. No studders, frames a hell of a lot higher. All smooth and better than AH. Justed hosted a 6 hour game with no problems. Good job HTC.

I find it a significant improvement over patch 5. I preloaded the textures and it runs as smooth as silk.

My regards,

Widewing

XJ, mine seems to be running better. Sorry your having problems, might just be your settings.

Mine working good.

Intersting part of fixes -
"Made a change to the effect of obliquity on the armor penetration model. Impact angle has a more
pronounced effect on a projectile's armor piercing capability."

No more bouncy rounds on a M3?

Works smoothly now, but CTDs are still here although not as often, in fact, I get few offline as well.

Running very smoothly here.

How much system memory do you have available (hit cntrl-i it will show you)? Trying to access memory that isn't there will send you to the desk top, and the fact that the release notes asks you to manually check the available system memory, suggests the program doesn't.

I assume the program finds textures by hard coded offsets (maybe not, but that would be the most efficient), and if you choose to load textures without enough sys memory, it will hit an address error when you meet certain textures. That could account for sporatic ctd's. Dunno.

I got 1024mb total with about 512mb in use, with 84mb of textures loaded.

Video mem has only about 64mb in use of total 128.

Edit:

Yah I fixed it, running smooth now. I don't really see any difference in each patch, it's always been running fine accept for this lil charade that accured. Patches don't seem to do much, its always good, I'm just waiting for some new A/C's and GV's. Then I'll be even better!
