thanks for the quick reply..
actually it's happening on at least 3 different high end PC's .. nvidia 8000's or simliar, dual or quad core processors, and at least 2 GB or more of high end ram, and plenty of network speed.. all three have been hosting missions for years with out a problem this severe. ( sorry don't know specifically what each has) but they all usually run at about 60+ frames with their settings.. some modded maps have dropped frames to 40 or so when looking at certain parts of them, and there's no real complaint there cuz the game is still playable..... but a drop to 1 or 0 sounds like it is too much for a change in vid settings to correct... unless set to minimums... which really isn't a viable option.. i know it can be annoying when you offer a trouble shooting option and the person asking for help says no, not gonna try that.. and i'm sorry about that, but if you have another suggestion i'm all ears. So far the only fix we have found so far is to run from a backed up copy of the game that doesn't include the 1.1.1 patch
One guy had the problem, we thought it must be something in his PC.. then another , then another found the same problem.. could be just certain maps.. or certain planes.. we'll continue to try and narrow it down to something more specific on our end, too.. i was able to host a carrier mission with the 1.1.1 patch on my mid range pc with no change to vid settings.. so it's not everyone, but enough instances now that it seems to be something to be concerned about.
thanks again.
