Should be placed as a sticky in the tech forums.  Hopefully, those that are having troubles will take the time to read the write up and get AH working to their satisfaction.

I can make changes to my video settings in the first page of AH but will not save.  Goes back to default everytime. (hitting ok to exit).

Thanks

This sounds like the 'Vista' problem. If you're not running Vista then sorry if I'm jumping to conclusions but if you are see:

Our technical teams have donned their white coats and
have been hard at work probing the innards of this beast
and have discovered a couple more tweaks to improve the
performance of the new version.

The pdf file linked to in the first post has been updated.
If you have gotten it before now, just download it
again.  Two additional pages have been added.

Nice post...very informative.








Just one little bitty note...whoever took those screenies and wrote that up...1875 MB video ram and he's only getting 59 fps? He might want to lower his video resolution a few notches then kick the adapter/monitor refresh rate to 72 - 75 Hz...he'll get much better frame rates.

I was having a few issues with the new terrains & was not sure where to begin as I am some what PC stupid. This is with out doubt the most constructive & helpful thread I have seen posted since the change. I turned everything off & just began over turning on things until I have a pretty good set up working for me. Nice job & thanks for the great help. :aok

White coats?  They must be smart.  Do they also wear dark rimmed glasses and carry clipboards?  Is there an LCA Institute?

In all seriousness, great resource.  Lot's of pictures and small words.  Even I could follow it.

LOL, the white coast is cause we're all institutionalized!

Glad some of you found the technical bulletin helpful.  :salute

delta  I know this is going to sound stupid but I guess I am.  What does doing away with the films and screen shots have to do with the game running better frame rates, I thought the films were only active when you started the film viewer first.

thanks for all the rest of the tips but still cant get over 32 fps when I was running 70

chief,

Not a stupid question at all.
I have no idea.  :)

Someone suggested it and said it made some difference
so I thought I would throw it in there.

If someone says they have had good results putting a
boiled chicken on their monitor I would include that too!  :lol

Despite all this though, the game is a no-go for me. 
Beside all the playability issues, it just looks terrible.
I'll give it 30 days and then it will probably be the end of
the road for me.  That'll be too bad.  Been playing since 2002.  :cry

Delta, Thanks. I followed your suggestions and game plays much better. I get as good as 60 FR compared to 15or 20 previous. The only issue I really have now is my gun sights and the sun take so long to load. Maybe that will get better in time. Thanks again, Bigmac75
