Sigh.....

[humble]

I've got a AMD 64 3200+ with a X800 pro and 1 gig of PC3200....

I'm finding the game is unplayable in "GV" mode under alot of circumstances....hope a patch is otw....

[oboe]

Honestly, humble, I don't know what you expect with borderline hardware like that.  

And, I might add,

I have a P4 2.8GHz oc'd to 3.06, a Radeon 9800 Pro, and 1 Gb ram, and find my FRs drop to to 20s and 30s at busy fields.  I've also noticed a reappearance of the dreaded mini screen freezes.

Haven't changed any settings since 2.02.

[humble]

MY framerate at tower is about 55 going to max of 75 (monitor refresh) in the air....my F4 GV rate is ~23 but drops to 6 or 7 FPS at times....

[SKJohn]

Complaing about 20-30 FPS?  You should try my Powerpoint Slide show version of Aces high!
Every once in a while at altitude, clear skies and by myself, I MIGHT hit 40 fps, but then the computer realizes that it screwed up in giving me a glimpse of reasonable frame rates, and quickly drops it back down in the high teens.
But, I'm in the process of getting a new system (finally!!), so one of these days I'll be able to have GOOD frame rates like you guys!

BTW Humble, your system is obviously trash.  I don't make many offers like this, but since you don't live that far from me (I'm in Mesa), I'll offer to come over and pick it up for you and take it off of your hands so you don't have to mess with it  anymore!:D:)

same here and it's not my equipment either.  very frustrating.

I also have AMD 64-3200, with Geforce 256 bit 5700....mid 40's in normal, when same scenario pre-patch was much higher--found myself having to drop to F2 range often while in furballs, and a pesky freeziing thing happens fairly often--only for second or so.  In general, I find it LOTS harder to shoot stuff---was 250 behind a lanc with a A8 with 30's.... had no idea where rounds went to. Fighters MUCH harder to hit...When AH2 started, I had weened myself of firin at 800, etc..now I seem to have to ween myself of firin above 300.

humble ... i have the same system cept a 3400+ .  im finding some parts of gameplay annoyingly slow. Ive had to drop my textures to 256 , to find good all around fps . Id hate to see how its affecting people with older systems .   FWIW 38

Well?  What are you doing?  Whats your FPS?

GV mode, wtf is that?!

[Mister Fork]

humble - before this pacth: 50-60fps normal on a BUSY field, now I'm down to 5-15fps.

Darn trees. But at least I can weave in and out of them (four p-kills so far)

AMD 2500+ (1.8GHz), Ati Radeon 9700 Pro, 1 Gb ram.

AMD Fx53
6800  256mb Ultra(omega drivers v 1.6177 (Q)
2 gigs Corsair Ult Low Lat. ram

IN the tower.... 45

IN a furball 15-20 at times.

This is unaceptable in my book.

I saw nothing wrong with the trees of the last patch.

Not only have I died more times to phantom trees than nme planes but they're also killing my frame rate.

The very sad part is that I was thinking about over clocking this box after the patch.

After waking up I relized I was crazy to think I should have to.

You have multiple view options F1 thru F4...F$ is the most detailed and is the "ground view mode....

Morph....

Do youhave a seperate sound card or use onboard sound. Ihave a DFI lanparty (754). It's an NV3 chipset. Basically its the XBox chip...Iread multiple places that tis actually faster then having a seperate soundcard....however skuzzy says it still takes CPU cycles awayfrom graphics....was thinking bout swapping one in. But your system runs rings around mine so I dont see the good if youhave problems as well.....

I dunno, I have FR around 20-30 over a busy field..

I got one of those $20 Sound Blaster cards & noticed a pretty good jump in FPS.. lowered a few of my settings & it's better than it was... one thing also, I'm preloading everything except video mem

P4 2.6g
Nv4000fx 128mb
512ram of some kind or another
and a $20 sound card...

systems not a screamer but it does pretty good for AH2, sux with Doom3 tho...
