Fallujah, Beirut, Gaza, Yamalia

4. From the maps mentioned above, state which specific areas/directions affect your performance the most.

Fallujah, Beirut, Gaza -> Looking towards the city center (frame rate drops to 25-30 from around 90)
Yamalia -> Looking at the fields makes my graphics card cry (= sounds like my PC is going to lift off), it's even worse when I'm using the binoculars

Asad Khal (102 fps flat)

Haven't tried any other old maps yet.

1. Have you noticed a significant performance decrease from 0.87 -> 0.9?
Yes. I believe my BSOD problem is either related to textures or audio settings, after I reset textures and sound from the x-fi card directly to sound "hardware" the game worked fine. I will reset the textures to high and see if that effects things.

Also have a small lag stutter occasionally that I have been unable to locate, hardware/software/line. Will edit when found.

2. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your performance in 0.9.
7

Have not played all yet. Will update. So far there has been no maprelated performance problems that I have detected.

2. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your performance in 0.9.

Was 10, only having problems on Kashan and Quinlin where i would lag out on first load, but then i was able to load in back just fine. Ramiel was only playable for about 20mins, after witch my graphics card would get too hot and start tearing.

Right now its around 4, i can still play it, but its really choppy, and on one IDF vs Hamas map i could only run properly on the sidewalk, because on terrain it looked like it was having a arm workout.

3. Name three or more maps in 0.9 which result in the worst performance.

Lashkar, Beirut, Gaza, Iron Ridge, Silent Eagle (wasnt as bad as other ones), Dragon fly

4. From the maps mentioned above, state which specific areas/directions affect your performance the most.

In the streets of big cities, or while flying above them. In the outskirts of cities when looking to them. Some big woods also cause me trouble, but not as much.



5. Name any maps that you have no performance issues with.

Muttrah, that new one with vehicle warfare, Jabal, havent played all old ones.


PS: may i add that i also play with GameBooster on.

the original maps

errors mainly consist of loading in and then CTD with memory.dll error, or mid game after 5 minutes or so then CTD with no error. also with some of the new maps, massive fps drop sometimes randomly, normally followed by a good ole CTD.
