Awful Frame Rate
« on: July 28, 2009, 09:00:24 PM »
Ok, before I got the update, I'm not sure what my frame rate was but it was a lot better than with the new update.  Now I can barely manage 50 in the tower and hanger, let alone a mere 20 in flight.  Please give me some tips, also on the clipboard on the map the names of bases will constantly switch from dark to light or sometimes even diss-appear.  Please help.

Not being a smart a@@ but many other people have posted the same problems as you and there are answers all over the place...did you happen to look at any of the other posts abut frame rates? I know the search bar works well here.

Well even with the terrain low res.  I can only get 10-15 frame rate.  Well that is ok.  You can't get everything.  It must be after geek squad replace my hard drive.  My laptop is only 1 year old too.  Well I can still play offline ok, if it freeze most of the time.

Well I've fixed the frame rate, but the field names still dissappear and turn light and dark.  Also, it won't let me get all of the detailed graphics stuff (detailed water, detailed enviornment stuff) so I assume I must get a new graphics card?

A DxDiag would confirm your assumptions. As for the field numbers not appearing/disappearing and changing colors, sounds as if you have a driver issue.

Just do a quick check and see if you have direct x 9.0c, as well as the latest drivers for your video card. What video card are you using now?

Narsus, the newest drivers aren't always the best. Sometimes to fix a problem you have to roll back the drivers.

Never said they were, but without any information about his video card and a dxdiag general ideas are all that can be given.

I am running the latest drivers from nvidia for my 8800gts and all is well.
I agree the latest and greatest are not always the best but if your sitting there with 2 year old drivers it can be the fix.

How do I find out what card, and how do I find direct x 9.0c?

  When you first start Aces High, go to Video settings, your card name will be highlighted at the top.

To find out what direct X you are running...

go to Start
Run
type in "dxdiag"

If you do not have direct X 9, here is the URL

The Intel video chip is one of the slowest and cheapest video devices around.  They do not have any dedicated RAM.  They steal system RAM for thier own use.

There is not one Intel video chip made which can run the game at acceptable levels, with the "Detailed Terrain" option checked.

Unit I had that express intel (R) crap in my Dell I got a Nvidia 9600gt and a 400watt power supply.  I have frame rates of 75 with everyhting turned on but i'm still working on getting the stutters out.  I'd go with anything Nvidia my graphics look great.
