Farewell for now

What makes you so absolutely sure it's our problem?

What makes you sure it isn't?

Why does it run fine on most machines?

We are not sure
However not all of us are are computer illiterate, some of us have done a complete fresh setup of  XP with only basic stuff installed, and up to date drivers. I went through ever ypossible AH configuration, even with lowest settings. And still no luck, while all other applications (video editing, varous graphic-heavy games and so on) run fine. Personally I suspect there may be something up with AH, textures and the dual core, but that's only speculation

And "running fine on most machines" doesn't mean much at all, especially when there is more with one or two players still having trouble,and most of them with a similar hardware configuration

But I will be glad to hear your advice how to fix it. I'm currently running out of ideas.

Snailman do you have the AMD Optimizer installed, and is it loading up when you boot up? I do and now I can play AH with both cores and not have to play in compatability mode. Not sure if this will help solve your problem, but hey couldn't hurt.

I have one of those AMD x2 were the optimizer never worked. With new version I tried again, running tests with different cpu drivers too. AH runs without any stutter when not in compatibility mode, but the old multicore bug will lock game up sooner or later. Old 2.13 was running fast & stable in compatibility mode...

Yes I couldn't run unless in compatibiltiy mode till patch 3 of 2.14, couldn't at all in 2.13 but it ran good. Just was wondering if you had tried it, for I wasn't sure if this helped me overall or not. Other than an older video card compared to mine our systems are nearly identical. Are you using onboard audio or a dedicated audio card? Can't seem to remember your complete setup.

When I said people would leave....... I was slammed by the fan-boys on this moderated forum.

I might be an ass, but history shows that high-graphics flightsims are bad.

Ah, well by all standards you should be up and flying. Guess you will have to wait for "the" patch that fixes your problem, <S> hope to see you soon.

Partially true. I just don't concur with the second part if this statement.

[LTARogue]

Well since I've been away for 5 months I have no idea what you guys are talking about. We have a new version? 

BTW, hello to all of my old friends and foes. I've missed you all.

I almost wish I had some problems so I could have learned the fix.  Don't take that wrong, I'm not claiming I would find something you haven't. I just feel bad for people with decent systems who are having trouble.... if it's not drivers... what the heck?

[A8TOOL]

Hasn't duel core always been a slight problem with AH?

Seems like it might be a build prob.

[gyrene81]

I can not use CCC or ATI Tray tools and can't use Crossfired 4850 cards <shrugs>

There are a few other games that cause the same issues with dual video cards...haven't seen what the fix is yet.

This has been a problem with X-fire for some time now. I would suggest running through their forums. I will do some research and If I find something I will post in on the forums.

I hear a lot of guys did fresh installs with latest drivers and whatnot. Remember guys, the latest driver is not always the BEST for what you want to do. If you hare having problems and have the latest of everything try going back 1 driver update and run it. Many times the prior drivers can be more stable then the current one for some games. Remember to uninstall your current driver completely before installing another driver.

Why dont you put your money where you mouth is, name these "High-graphics flightsims" that have failed?
