cc...was just curious.

The top slider is the touchy one...very small incremental changes can really impact framrates. If you were running 20+ zoomed in F4 then I'd say I need to dig harder in my machine. All in all I'd say were somewhere in the same ballpark, maybe just a different section. In the air the marginal improvement has yielded big change with regard to "lagging the plane"....but last two fights I was in I hit tree's that "popped up" right in front of me so that part is still a theeth grinder.

The problem GV wise is that the guy in the treeline at 2000-2500 has a distinct advantage since he can clearly see you but you cant pick him out of the clutter if your settings are dialed back. Now once your in zoom...if your settings are off and you go into "slideshow" mode engaging successfully is almost impossible. 1hunglo gave me a great tip about using F3 view instead there and it did really help as well....

It's just dissappointing that in many aspects the skill level is dumbed down and hardware is the deciding factor. Basically the guy with the better machine has the edge more than ever before. Whats funny is I have none of these issues in the DA at all...

Yes, agreed the settings are critical but this is a fairly recent release, and it makes sense its going to require fairly recent hardware for that reason.

My point is, I've managed to arrive at a "compromise" in my settings that avoids the problems you cite - I see the trees in time (its just that sometimes I'm waking up too low and fast to do anything about it ), I can pick out enema GV at those ranges just fine if they're exposed (and if they're hidden it makes sense to me I shouldn't) and I never have any slide-show effect.

I'm hoping that if you keep fiddling you'll be able to arrive at a combination of settings that allows acceptable performance, too.

47 procceses?..that is rediculous


it MUST be under 20..atleast..
start with that...I woudl careless if you say no big difference..It is to ur CPU


I use Omegas..seeems a bit bettr

I still need more cpu I think..Im overlocked all she can go captain"sounds like scotty"

I'll certainly take a look, howver I tend to be reluctant to flash thew bios unless the board had a built in backup....all it takes is once to swear you off an unneeded bios update:)

Get a BIOS saviour by IOSS.
Plugs over your existing BIOS and gives you a backup you can flash instead of the main. Switch allows you to flick between the two BIOS'es.
Around $30-40 depending on CMOS type.

I cannot explain why but I am convinced that having a large population in the arena is an issue with the lower FPS figures. That would also explain why folks can run other graphically intensive games without stuttering yet in AH2 they see video lag. IL2/FB/AEP/PF flows like glass offline in perfect mode for me, but I see little laggyness online when there's more than 24-30 players in the arena, I think other than the lack of MMOL code smoothing networks and server support there's more to the reasoning behind limiting the number of players in that game.

Anyone with more expertise able to prove/disprove this theory that large populations cause video slowdowns?

I wonder if it's the x700/x800 ATI cards. I upgraded my system a few months ago and have a pci-e x700. Framerates are horrible on the deck especially in the MA. I just figured I was doing something wrong or was trying to get more detail where I didn't have the horsepower to do so.

I switched from X700 Pro Abit card to the Abit X800 platinum edition and my FPS went up about 40 from 119 to 160.

I have tweaked and tuned my bios and windows settings including tweakgin the paging file and turning off all programs via msconfig that arent needed. Before tweaking I was getting a HORRIBLE 35 to 50 FPS. The biggest jump was when I tweaked the bios settings. Some folks will argue and say tweaking bios isnt neccessary but I can speak from experience it works. I have been doing this since the days of Air Warrior and everytime the bios tweaks increased my fps by at least 10 or more FPS depending on the system. Of course this does depend on whether or not your using a name brand system like Dell or HP with a basic bios or if your using a board such as Abit or Asus that can really take advantage of the settings in question. I'll be glad to help anyone with tweaking bios if needed. email me at dalosiman@msn.com or look for me ingame in the MA.
