Looks like a lot of fixes to make us even happier.
-
The shadow texture size is really nice, if you're like me the normal shadows work fine but smooth shadow gives a major FR hit, and under the default (1024) setting not using self shadow was pretty much not an option (IMO)... with the higher settings, the shadows look nice even with smooth off, and they're surprisingly soft on frame rates.
-
also fixed my sticky mouse curser that I got when the game loaded so I don't have to tab out and in again :aok
-
I'm happy that HTC changed the ground textures around.
-
Wobbly, I got that sticky cursor and would unstick it by pressing H twice. Just in case it ever happens again..
-
Im getting horrible texture load time, and my frames have dropped when otd. Nothing was wrong with the game before? :uhoh
Its literally taking 20 minutes to get objects to show texture. Not a whine, an observation. :D :aok
-
Ive lost the depth perception the older patches had given me, and turning the detail range up makes the game stutter again like before...
The ground looks like dodo again in low res, and this was my primary complaint...I cant seem to tell how closss to the ground I am, I think, and alot of other people in MA think this was a step back instead of forward.
Please restore the ground so it gives some sense of depth, because its like flying over the ocean right now, and once again im grounded because I cant see to fight.
The patch before this one set up some wierd grid system, or dark areas that allowed me to tell how hi I was, but now im litteraly smashing into the ground again because it looks like a few trees dotted on a see of mauve ocean.
Its unplayable, please help.
And ive taken every step possible with my hardware guys, This is an issue with low res, thank you.

20 minutes flight in 17s and the puffy clouds never textured (just white squares in the sky.) Also, after that 20 minute flight to kill the cv, the cv group was not textured in the bombsight at 10k.
Frustrating. patch 6 was perfect for me :(

I wonder if HTC is going to add some more objects on the ground? IE: beach obstacles, fences?
-
Patch 6 ran great. Patch 7 stuttered more while in Titanic Tuesday. Will test this tomorrow.
EDIT: To add to this, I noticed other players aircraft skins took an inordinantly long time to load, as did textures in general.
-
I don't understand all the ooogady booogady computer talk, but the game looks greater than ever.
No problems.
Never really had any problems and I'm runnin a 64 somethin or other Nvidea Mx440.
I don't think that card should have been runnin the old version, let alone the new one.
Just lucky i guess. :aok
Great work on the game!!
To all the dweebs at HTC!! :salute

This update helped my laptop out a bunch. I have a few skins downloaded (91st BG). I've disabled other planes skins and am not allowing auto downloading of skins. My loading time is probably 5 - 10 seconds max. All in All this has made the game so much more fun on my laptop..
:aok
-
I can't even get it to install. Receiving an error that stdshape.res is not a valid previous version. This occurs both installing through the game, and if I attempt a manual install.
-
Welp...Pach 4,5 & 6 were increasingly better for me - it got better with each patch :aok
....unfortunately after #7 I now have massive stuttering - FRs as low as 5-8 (normal yesterday of 60-70) - to the point I can barely land at an empty field.
Off now to check the Help & Support area for info - I suspect we'll see a NEW patch soon. :D
cheers eh!
-
problem solved...

Low res user here. Only have bump map and sliders maxed left. The low res sea and beaches look great. The sun is a tad harsh. Ethically a lot more pleasant. HOWEVER, the game texture / colours take a little longer to load. Must say this got better after a few sessions in and out and a total restart and a bashing with "RegCure".
Then the stutters started....big time. It was that bad I thought my anti virus / spyware had kicked in or the poxy auto updates were loading up. None were scheduled to run and update are manual. After some observation I came to the conclusion that other players guns triggered the stuttering. There also seems to be a sound related stutter linked to vox.
Recap....low res looks loads better :aok but bad stuttering now :uhoh

4 month acer pc frame rate 75 now dancing between 75 and 35, 3 discos in 15 minutes never happened before patch 7 :cry
-
I think it all and all looks great..the sun effect on the water on low res is a bit annoying and not to real looking...at lest on my end.But all and all looks good.Do the boats and Cv's make a wake up close on low res yet?

I have my settings on low also and think the sun on the water looks great!!
-
Is anyone else getting the sound stutter when someone is about to come over on VOX?
It's very annoying and I can't remember that happening before.
Edit: It does not always happen, just sometimes and I couldn't tell what triggered it.
