Dark Clouds

[asterix]

Don`t know much about computers but maybe reducing max texture size on AH start page would help with virtual clouds. Also changing settings from quality towards performance on video card`s own control panel.

I have the same setup with a 6gb card overclocked a bit. I'm not having the bad FR in clouds but am still getting the little random 1 sec freezes.

Try switching to DX9 instead of DX11. That fixed the micro stutters for me

There are many more micro stutters now in DX9 since HT has implemented the new cloud system. Also a drop in frame rates quite significantly in some areas...this still needs work which I am sure is ongoing.

In DX9 I had micro stutters after a update and it was fixed by the next. The clouds have not affected me at all.

I see a about a half-to-one-second lag switching views when first encountering the new clouds, then view switching goes back to "instantaneous".  Maybe the GPU needs to load the cloud shape/texture -- or something.  DX9.

The information provided would have more meaning if the video card was also posted with it.

Might consider adding some system information to your signature.  Just a thought.

The reason I bring it up is I have a really low end video card in my work computer (AMD/ATI 4870) and I am not seeing the stutters in DX9 associated with any clouds, but then again, I have most of the advanced graphics disabled.
