Downloaded craterma from download page, put in terrain folder, but game locks up when trying to load the map. only resolve was to do a hard reset on computer.

Get rid of the Craterma file you downloaded, that is for AH2 only. Go online, select the melee tab and then select CraterMA. The beta should auto-download the correct terrain file for you.

BTW testing FPS this way in beta 5 is only likely to be useful to HT if you also tested it the same way in beta 4.

A1 Tower 1130 Arena time:

Tower was 100, now 109
Runways was 72 -78, now 83 - 95 depending on runway direction.

I too missed the first test, but in beta 5 I averaged 174 with the test run at night, online, CraterMA, A1.

I'm running an  E8400 4GB ddr2 system I upgraded to win7 64bit, and put a used nvidia gtx 480 1.5GB ddr5.

My apologies for missing/not posting in the first Frame Rate Test, I was enroute to florida and have just gotten back home today....

I did try and check with Beta 4, with your requested settings, hitech, sir, but did it in offline mode on CraterMA terrain

Beta 4 ( Offline ) 1st try = 119   2nd try = 151   <---( not sure what I did different, except rebooted my computer )

downloaded/installed Beta 5 patch, then rebooted PC

Beta 5 ( Offline ) 164     <----- EDIT: this was using the old Beta 4 version of CraterMA terrain, just to be clear!
Beta 5 ( Online ) 171     <-----> It downloaded an updated version of Greebo's CraterMA terrain, for Beta 5.  I also did the test offline like I did for Beta 4, just to see if there was a difference

hope this helps

Dunno if I'm doing something wrong or what. Went into vid settings screen and disabled Vsync. Checked to make sure that is application controlled in CCC. It is. Put all the other settings per the instructions.

I get 59FPS in both beta 4 and beta 5. Wouldn't that indicate I'm likely still on Vsync? Even after going back into CCC and resetting Vsync globally to off instead of application controlled. At any rate I get no change between versions.

Drano, sir... If you are using the new ATI Crimson drivers, below the vsync setting toggle....... there is a slider of what you want your desired frame rate target set to, I had mine locked at 61, I moved the slider all the way to the right which on my PC, maxed out at 200 FPS..........I was having the same issue as you, trying to do the Beta 4 test, after disabling vsync, I was still getting 61 FPS, until I moved the Frame Rate Target slider


hope this helps

Haven't tried those yet. Guessing I won't benefit much performance wise with my slightly long in the tooth 6950. But then again the different control panel interface is worth exploring. Will give that a shot.

Drops drastically when enabling SLI on my non SLI motherboard.  Although SLI does have a great benefit in AH2, it does the opposite in Beta = Down to 44 for 112

Slight Hijack here... :bolt:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beta 5 - CraterMA ( offline ) ( using old Beta 4 CraterMA terrain, before recent update of the .res file )

58 FPS

Beta 5 - CraterMA ( online ) ( current CraterMA terrain .res update )

58 FPS


hope this helps

Make sure that SLI is actually active (if you use the express update it won't be after updating). Then make sure you have created a custom profile for AHbeta, and that the SLI method is set to "Force alternate frame rendering 2."
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.
