Just tried out the new patch about 30 seconds ago. I was out and about in the TA just seeing the new stuff. Well I fly out to the mountain NE of the Rook base and notice all the trees. I say to myself "Wow thats alot of trees, finally some more scenery". Well when I head over to the hill my comp is in a massive slow down and its hard to play in that sort slow down. Well whats up with this? Anyone else getting this? And its not that I have an old comp thats barly running. I have a P4 3.0 Ghz, 1 GB Ram, a 128 ATI X800 SE. And I know people who play this game and have faaar slower computers than mine. I just think maybe the trees need to be dubed down. Anyone else have a say?

been saying that all along. PLEASE don't choke AH w/ a ton of eye candy, and leave the stable gameplay on a back burner. When gameplay goes, so do I....

im ok with the trees, they are not perfect but they are a heck of alot better than the last ones, as far as frame rates go, they take a tiny bit more but not enough to complain about, i have the medium view distance and near view distance mapped to my tqs throttle for when fps do act up.

oh i can say one thing, i have had a fiew giant stabs of huge wierd black and white shapes apear sometimes when near field.

modern art or video lag?

btw one of the 190 guage lenses is not placed correctly, when sun reflects on it you can tell its moved down and off the surface by about an inch.

elif...I had multi-coloured ones like that a while back...it was an overheat issue on my video card due to the fan not working right.

I got a PCI slot fan and mounted it under the heat sink to my vid card. Keeps it cooler that way. They cost about $19.95.

i have 5 large LOUD fans installed in my case from my overclocking days, guess its time to turn it back on, my system specs are: 1.6 ghz procesor 1 gig ddr ram, and the ati 9600 se {128) graphics card.

oy, this thing sounds like a wind tunnel

Hey Elif,

Those are the new and improved, highly rare, never seen or captured on a digital screenie, AH2 overheating-videocard - UFO's!

If I was you, I'd be on Ebay right now bro.

Those trees cut my FR in half easily.

Actually I turned down the graphic detail in setup and it seemed to help alot.

wow BlauK! looks like you hit the mother load, what did you do? did you buy a new graphics card?

I didnt think i could melt down the dang thing! mine seems to be working at the moment, hope it stays that way.

I'm getting it too. Checked the temp on my 6600 GT, and it was 55 degrees, which is fine. I suspect it's the patch, not an overheating issue.
