release 4.008 and frame drop

[=RS=GiantPLANK]

Hi VR guys,

 

Has anyone else noticed a drop in frames since the new patch?

 

I have - and its BIG.  previously getting near 50 fps (Od+ 110%SS, GTX 970, i5 4460, 8GB ram) but now its down to 25-30!!  was on a server last night and had to stop because i was getting sick from the literal slide show.

 

maybe I have to drop my setting much lower again.

It usually depends on how many players are connected, did you play in a 84/84 server?

i was on "the unprofessionals" which i think is 64??  but there were 23 players on (10 each side) IIRC.

plus i noticed fps drop in quick battles too.  not as big but still about 10 fps drop

Things I noticed which might be related:

- startup.cfg - for some reason it changed some of my settings when playing 4.008

- 4.008 seems to no longer obey nvidia control panel overrides for some settings (for example AA settings)

I have frame drop when enter the cloud, although the fps counter still shows high fps, but visual dropped down to less than 30. Use cloud setting to High, and this only happens when within the cloud.

my problem is persistant regardless of conditions or location in air ;-( - it might be related to my cpu temp however, as summer time humidity where i am has increased recerntly

They did something with clouds in 4.008 IIRC, so perhaps that also causes issues.

Agree, I further test the cloud frame drop, it only happens when the cloud is thick. If the cloud is thin this won't happen and everything is  smooth. 

I will lower the cloud setting to medium see if it fixes it.

update guys.

 

I fixed the problem.  after some sloothing i noticed my cpu temps were up.  checked inside my case and viola - turns out my CPU fan had got lose and was not contacting the heatsink properly!

re-set the fan and temps were back to normal.  Loaded up IL2 - frames were back up to the  usual speeds for my rig.
