I play CoD [steam] patched to version 1.00.13954
Because of this patch I gained 5-8 FPS above land
and stutters were reduced
Strange enough it lowered a little above sea but was
already having good fps above sea and it doesn't
get lower than 34 fps and spikes to 55 fps so above sea its still smooth.
Conclusion : With the patch, CoD gets more playable over land.
I use video setting: 'very high' cause this is the best reference
how future patches will differ from each other even when the game
gets less than 10 fps
FMB mission: The Coast Incident
1-start position, all engines, vehicles and 'birds'! are running----18-23 FPS : LAGGY!
2-just a few seconds airborn [..watch the cows!]-----------------20-24 FPS : +Stutters! and laggy
3-forming up formation and gaining altitude-----------------------25 FPS : smooth but laggy,
a few micro stutters
4-follow the leader, gaining altitude-----------------------------25-27 FPS : smooth but still laggy
5-downside view airbase,
as you see not a lot of houses, mainly fields and trees---------29-34! FPS: smooth
6-formation over land, higher altitude----------------------------25-28 FPS : smooth but laggy
7-above the coast [sea\land]------------------------------------29-32 FPS : smooth a little laggy
8-above water-----------------------------------------------------37-60+ FPS: Excellent! no stutters,
not laggy, smooth all the way
9-dogfights above sea, 8 planes tanglin in a close cirkel,
the game is smooth, noticed 1 split second drop to 27 FPS
when I had a near head on collision with 2 German planes
but for the rest it was a dream to play--------------------[27!] 34-55 FPS: very good!
Now to be fair above London its a different story, not a slide
show ,but still in my view unplayable for a war sim. --------------9-22 FPS: Stutters! and LAGGY!
Decals switch from high
to low quality and backwards
Dogfights unplayable!
update: a Quick mission with 8x Bf109's and 20x Blenheim's
Above sea with no land in sight----- 37-41 FPS
Above sea with land in sight-------- 31 FPS
Above sea with land in sight + ACTION it drops to 16-25 FPS : unplayable for me
But the next patch will do a lot more I hope [sli\crossfire,core use optimised...]
specs: Graphics-video: very high, all maxed out, filter off
