Title: New update equals poor quality play
Post by: Getback on August 16, 2011, 03:42:48 PM
That new update has caused some issues. Before it was as smooth as silk and now it stutters. There was also an issue with downloading. W7 asked to re-install it after it said there was an issue with the program.

So I'm going to delete it once again and trying re-installing it to see if that helps.

Had the same problem, Just click the *This program is in stalled right* Then you will be good, I have not seen any stuttering with the new patch you might just have a older PC  :old:.

No issues here.  Double check your graphics settings.

Same, I rarely have FR's drop below the mid 20's even an entire horde shown on my screen.

I've been getting framerate stutters since the graphics package update about a year ago.  At one point after the first patch, the game was completely unplayable for me, I'd have framerates near 0...  even though my system resources completely blew away minimum requirements, the suggestion was to 'get a new computer'.  Well, on the same computer, a couple patches later, this problem mysteriously disappeared and I was able to play fine without any changes to my system...  wonder what that was all about?  Anyways, since then, I now just get the occasional hiccup from the game that causes a freeze-frame.  Near as I can tell, this has to do with the objects being loaded on the terrain.  Older maps with less terrain features tend to hiccup less than larger newer maps... 

The biggest difference in performance is that I used to be able to tell the game to load all the graphics on startup. This helped smooth out a lot of problems.  Now it's a minimum startup and everything loads as needed, it seems to add to processor strain in order to free up RAM...

Did you all dl the new hires textures with the latest version?  If your using the old version it will cause issues (I know cause I got stuttering before I remembered to dl and install the new pack).
