Re: Frame Rates Dropping in game

<t>Hmmmmm.... Ok, I tried it at the next level - High Priority - and have some interesting ( at least to me ) results. I flew my above mentioned QMB mission 3 times - the drop did not occur at all ( and I tried to get it to do so ). I then switched to a Normandy campaign I ahve running and flew one ...

Re: Frame Rates Dropping in game

<t>Wayne....I will try that soon as I can. Any of the others reporting this problem should try too, in case we get differing results...note: I did try the old 'Affinity' workaround from earlier 3.xx versions, but it had no improvement.<br/> <br/> Anti-Aliasing: yes, I use 2XQ. I have since before FB...

Re: Frame Rates Dropping in game

<t>@ edbert; Cool!! Enjoy, sir!! <br/> <br/> On the issue at hand.....ok, further play has revealed a few more frame issues with the Check-six java .dll update and the sim, at least for me....also, it seemed to increase the frequency of the TIR-related 'frame drop'. Today, I went back to the origina...

Re: Frame Rates Dropping in game

<t>And a little further: I renamed those files, and got some nasty occurrences. It played, but frames did some nasty tricks, and the drop was there. Named them back, would recommend doing so...I think they are needed for some reason.<br/> <br/> Anyway, further playing/testing, the drop still occurs....

Re: Frame Rates Dropping in game

<t>SparX; I confess I have been aware of this java update for a long time, but have never tried it. I know Oleg uses the Java to generate messages and the like....never considered it as having any effect on the 3D at all.<br/> <br/> Might be worth a shot, though - there are many conflicting opinions...

Re: Frame Rates Dropping in game

<t>Wellll...ok. <br/> <br/> I did manage to set up a situation where I can reproduce this without fail. Whether it happens with others, I can't say, but in case it might help:<br/> <br/> 1. Use the IL2/FB QMB.<br/> 2. Set up mission as follows: 4 fighter escorts ( I used P47 ) ; 8 B 17 bombers with ...

Re: Frame Rates Dropping in game

<t>One little addition to this...superfluous, perhaps, but something I noticed last night.<br/> <br/> Situation: in FB, flying a BOE P47 campaign, had just progressed to the Berlin portion. FB settings all Excellent. Setup using Nvidia 3/4/FX, with only change being that S3TC Compression now enabled...

Re: Frame Rates Dropping in game

<t>Wayne; I hope so...I'm not always good at explaining stuff. <br/> <br/> Thanks to you and everyone at Naturalpoint for the time and effort you've put into this issue. It's one of the things that keeps us recommending TIR and Naturalpoint. I hope Ubisoft can help in getting this resolved, but I kn...

Re: Frame Rates Dropping in game

<t>One other thing I have found that can trigger this for me; what the offline console command defines as 'time overflows'. These are the more severe pauses, similar to online respawn pause in DF servers. I started getting these more frequently after adding BOE until I turned off the Active Front Li...

Re: Frame Rates Dropping in game

<t>Hi edbert; well, I can offer you a couple simple things to check on this problem. First and foremost....when you start the TIR software, before starting IL2 FB, make sure the TIR is in 'enhanced' mode. Also, close down any other background software you have running....just run what is essential f...
