I too had a FPS drop after the patch.

Went from 50+ down to 25-30 FPS

Installed the new Omega drivers and I'm back up to 100+
(very rarely drop below 85)

ATi 9700 AIW 128
3.06 P4 Alienware
512 Ram

I had also just recently did a reformat and cleaned out alot of garbage so I'm sure that helped as well

No prob.  Are you going to sent me a check, money order, or cash?  I can't afford to upgrade everytime these guys feel pretty.

I played last night, and logged off in frustration due to crappy frame rates.

System:

Athlon 2000XP
512m ram
FX5700LE 128m vid

I ordered an Athlon 64 3200+ 939 pin cpu, 1 gig CorsairXMS ram and a Gigabyte N-Force 3 motherboard. Cpu and ram should be here today, motherboard hasnt shipped yet.

With my old  system the small maps arent to bad fps wise unless I get to a cat 4 or 5 furball. During prime time most of the frontline bases do have sizeable furballs. On the large maps it only takes 4 or 5 planes to drop my fps below 20.

I have tryed every combination of graphics settings in the game to increase performance. I currently run 800 x 600, 128 textures, preload textures to system ram, all sliders to the right, transitions, horizons, animated water, weapon and gv effects off. AA and AF are both off, vsync is on. It's just not possible to dumb the game down anymore.

If the new cpu etc doesnt help, I too will probably go elsewhere for my online fun.

I'm still baffled at how poorly my system runs a game with min specs of PIII 850, 64m vid and dx9 compatible sound.

Since I posted my specs and frames in this thread on the bug report forum  I have changed my textures to 512 without losing frames.  I haven't tested since 2.03 tho, and I've never bothered to look when in a furball (I was most interested in checking around trees).  Maybe someone can look at that thread and figure out why my mediocre system gets acceptable frames while those with better systems don't.  I'm no expert.

I'm used to low fps, but now the game is pretty well unplayable. Regular teens furballs 3-8 cv groups, forgettaboutit.

Just as well, I'll go play some summer stuff. Get the boat ready and chit. Even the BBS is soundin a little on the fruity side lately, sad really.  Oh well, c'est la vie. Je mange pas mes shorts, c'est pas la fin du monde.

Im running a 1.4G also (amd).  I found toning down the sliders to be unacceptable for game play (as far as visual SA with hangers, ect not displaying till you're on top of them, invisible GVs).  What I did find that I liked was using the visual range key commands.  I can fly and fight on short range, with acceptable frame rates, and switch to full range when I need it, without much effort.
