Patch 2 is now available.
Version 2.27 Patch 2 Changes
======================
Fixed a crash bug related to using all available video memory.
Instrument panel glass faces now display correctly with shaders.
Fixed an issue causing gunsight glass to disappear on some planes.
Fixed a shading issue that made the Flakpanzer gun reflect light incorrectly.
Fixed an issue with WW1 planes that could cause icons to disappear from certain viewing angles.
Bomber drones now have their bump mapping effects toggled on and off when you toggle bump mapping for yourself.
Added a small hangar for the Storch at ports and vehicle fields. Destroying the hangar disables the Storch at those fields.
Damage to the right fuel tank was not showing up in the damage list of the Storch.
Hurray!

what about airfields?

It's a bomber so maybe bomber hangers will take them out.

When you say little hangar... what's the tonnage required to drop it?

Well ... there's a way to find out. ;)

All VHes are dead -> Up a Storch -> Bail out -> Camp in the maproom -> Repeat with your entire country
Yes.

I can run everything wide open except I have to leave shadows and texture sizes at 2048 or lower. When I do that I still see micro-freezes and stutters and I hate that so I have all this new bump-mapping and shadows off for now. Eventually everything will get ironed out. Im very patient.

I played every night last weekend and I have yet to see the Storch enabled at any field.

Still no Me-410!? :furious

I've had the exact opposite experience. Everything was fine for last few days, this latest patch has made frame freezes and stutter so bad it's pretty much unplayable. :noid

Same, but my computer's too stoneage to complain. I have just started getting out-of-VRAM errors after this patch, though.

You need to reduce anti-aliasing and/or reduce the view distance, to start with. Next would be the shadow size. If you are still getting that error, then kill the clutter. Next, uncheck bump mapping options.
Send me a DXDIAG output if you want a more concise help list.

The only thing available there is to reduce view distance, otherwise I've never used any of those options. I just had to disable the advanced terrain features...so, as long as I fly right-side up so I can't see the nasty-looking ground or with my eyes closed, I'm fine. :P
My (depressing) DxDiag is always available here (https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ATam1FPVA5R_ZGMzc21jYnFfMTQ3ZzZkbnpkaGQ); it doesn't fit in my signature any more. :noid

I've got everything turned down to nothing and the frame rate is borderline playable and the sound cuts out every 3-10 minutes. Have to go back to desktop to get it to work again.
Not a good patch for me. :cry
Good for the family, they see a lot more of me. I've gone from playing 10 hours a week to about 30 minutes total. I'm a little worried about the direction of this trend. :)

With bump mapping off, it's just like before.. with bump mapping on, ya nope...
I don't need the eye candy...

Mine was untiil this patch. I was able to turn shadows down to 128 and disable everything and GV with only occasional freezes in frames. Kinda sucks.

Yes.
Nobody taught you to shoot up the maproom before letting troops out?
Thought by this point it was pretty much standard procedure

The difference between one guy in the maproom and a swarm of guerrillas hiding everywhere is key. Especially when you have to fly inverted to have a chance to see he icon.

I thought the storch was gonna add some fun to the game. But I can see now that the first thing thats getting whacked at the VH is the storch hanger. Now "kill storch hanger" is added to the SOP of killing all ords at the nearest airfield.
I predict the storch is now useless.
-
I havent heard anybody yet say kill the storch hangar. actually that would make it fun for fighters to leave it up and vulch the vh bases too.

Maybe it might be a good idea to get some friendly GVs in the town then.
you know. That whole boots on the ground thing.

That just leads us back to the biggest problem in the game , well second biggest behind HOs :p getting people to defend.
There are not many that defend any more. What's the point when you are out numbered 4 or 5 to 1? When was the last time you saw a squad up and defend a base?

LTARs in 2009 against LCA and Claim Jumpers.

Whoa, and you're calling me dated? How long has it been since a vehicle base had a town? :D
Plus, add in the arguments that GVs can't spawn everywhere and my favorite crap point that "this is Aces HIGH!" I mean, why else would one capture a vehicle base besides to deny the enemy access to anything but furballs, right? :noid

Ok my bad on the VH. But your he one talking about people bailing out and hiding everywhere which led me to think towns.
You run in shoot up the map room and let troops out. Same as its always been done. Bring in n M3 and its even better to shoot all those boogiemen who are hiding everywhere
