since patch 3 i have had stutter problems i have had everyone telling me put sliders to the right to performance,go to dxdiag
and slide it to the left,have you got the latest drivers , its your pc its your pc, blah blah blah
basically i had no problems running this game before patch 3
so through a process of illimination its got to be something that was changed from the last patch to this that has caused my problem
i have more than enough pc power to run this game
and have spent the last three hours tweaking every possabilty.
i had to stop playing today because i couldnt take it anymore.
i have yet another video card on order i have a 128mb at the moment and have a 256 on the way which is way beyond what is supposidly specified

more or less ditto.

Frames are still fine, but I can't get close to another plane without a 1 or 2 second stutter and was fine before.

1.4 ghz Athlon
sb live
128 meg DDR
FX 5200 128 meg

256 on your vid card isnt going to help you I am afraid - I hope you upgraded the core.

oh well but regardless of my video card my system was
running this game smoothly before this patch
only yesterday morning i was just getting used to the gunnery and flying and was really enjoying myself and to have this problem has really spoilt my fun

...which should lead you to the conclusion that your hardware is fine and await the next patch form HTC instead.

paulo:

What Video Card, what drivers, and how much system mem do you have on your machine?

I have the same problem as you Paul. The game ran good before patch 3. Now the ground looks like it is having problems catching up with the plane. What I mean by that instead of going out of view smoothly it studders.

i have a geforce mx 4000 128mb and 256 mb ram
i have played the game for an hour or so today after getting annoyed with it earlier and the major stuttering stopped ie going down to 1fps and was playable but the land below still stutters
in a constant way and as i said i did not have this before patch three
ive calmed down since earlier im not giving up on it:)

What your max texture size set to and how much Vidmem is showing as used in the fps display?

paulobrien6969 · « **Reply #11 on:** June 25, 2004, 01:24:11 PM »

there is 130 vid mem there and about 40 used
i have tried it on 128 256 and 516 today with the same result
it seems slightly better on 516 though

Actually, it sounds as if you've got a PC virus. I had one, and didn't really know it, then I went into AH and got FR's dropping to 1 as you describe. Cleaned up the system and got rid of the virus, and everything went back to normal.

Paul: Also when you change max texture sizes, expect a few studders for the first while. Play at least 15 mins to see if they smoth out.

With the new patch every time I try to use a ship gun the game shuts down.When I try to fly the c47 it acts like it's stuck in mud.
I never had any problems before the patch 3 was downloaded:confused:
