Leave it to HT to throw more crap into the game.. I just got my frame rate to a decent level and HT kills it with this crappy patch. You can have the crappy trees, and clouds and all the other bs.. I don't care about scenery. I would trade it all for a more diverse selection of planes and vehicles. Down with the eye candy, show me the fun

Have you got what it takes to have fun?

 Fun doesn't come free you know.

 Besides, runs stable on my not-so-state-of-the-art system.

Are your drivers, etc up to date? I've got a 2.0 P4, and with this patch I'm seeing faster FR's AND getting better graphics than I had before.

I even have the detail size slider set higher.

No, I cant explain it -- unless the code is cleaner! I do know others have had slower rates, but all I can say is that its working better for me.

Hmmm.

My frame rates seem to have gone up.

But, if yours went down and you don't care about eye candy, the sliders in the video settings really do turn down the graphics and increase your frame rate.  Try them.  Set the object detail and object size to minimum.

Red, try lowering the graphic settings in AH and in your video setup in Windows, set the stuff like MipMapping and Textures to Performance or High Performance and make sure you have FSAA/AA (anti-aliasing) set to either off or application preference (AH does not have AA support built in, so it will take additional video resources to do it, causing a FPS hit).

If you have onboard sound card you're using, lower the sound acceleration by a notch as well.  Onboard sound cards use much more resources than a normal sound card.

The minimum system requirements are a P3 850, and 32m vid card. With the difficulties I have had running this game with an AMD 2000XP (1.66ghz) and 128m FX5700 vid card, I think they still have a ways to go to keep the game playable for the lower end systems. (Like their min req's).

Not everyone can afford to do upgrades right away, some of us have to save for awhile to do them :)

You know, I posted a very long reply to this thread, then deleted it.

I mean, really.  If designing a product that is expected to grow and thrive based on a frame work of obsolete code and equipment is found to be a reasonable thing, what chance do I have trying to rationally explain the failure in that concept?
