I have a similar system, 8800 gtx, intel dual core 3600+ (2.4 gigs x 2) and 2 giggs of ddr2 ram runnign on vista ultimate. I have not had any of those frame rate drops with my system, and have everything fully maxed including visibility ring on high. Shaders work great, all I can say is Nvidia came out with new drivers within the past week and a half, make sure you are up to date, and play with some of the settings in nvidia control panel. The followign is what i have set and it works fine: Antialiasing gamma correct : aplication controlled Antialiasing mode: On Antialisasing transparency: supersampling Conformant Texture clamp: use hardware error reporting: Off extension limit: on force mip maps: none Multi display/ mixed Gpu acceleration: single display Texture filtering negative LOD bias: allow Texture filtering quaility: High quality Threaded optimization: auto Triple buffering: on Verticle sync: force off Good luck

For anyone who was having simliar problems. I was able to fix the problem by changing force mip maps to none in the Nvidia control panel. There hasn't been a problem with hangups during loads since and the game is running perfectly. Hopfeully with enouhg practice and getting comfortable with the controls I will be able to join you guys in multiplayer soon.

No, any misson, clear days as well as full overcast.

I installed the original Lomac 1.0, I downloaded the flaming cliffs expansion from this website and then installed the 1.12b patch for web download. I did this twice thinking it was a bad instal originally but no change. I have also tried running the game in windows xp compatibility mode but it does not change a thing. The problem occurs during loading of any type of campaign, training, misson editor, single missions.... When it does load however, it looks awesome, I have everything maxed out and the frame rates are in the high double digits. Any other suggestions?

Hey Guys, I just built a nice system, intel dual core 3600, 4 gigs ddr2 ram and 8800 gtx card running vista ultimate. After my computer boots up I can play the game with no problem, I can load any campaign and it runs beutifully. However, if I exit the current campaign, or try and load another one, the program freezes on the load page and I have to control alt delete to get out of it. If I restart the game again, I will run into the same issue unless I do a complete system restart. Has anyone else had this problem, or have any suggestions? Thanks, the game looks awesome and I am dying to get more familiar with it, but I need help making it stable.
