So far I just tested one of the A-10 instant action missions. The speech is back! My mind often tricks me on this stuff, but it appears the rockets have a new sound, explosions are improved, and SAM launches look better.

Hmm, I'm a little confused about this post: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1565036&postcount=2

 

Does this mean that, if I install the new version now, they'll later restore the lost activation? Or are they going to simply fix it, but not retro-actively restore the activations which were mistakenly lost (in which case I should wait to install until after the fix)? I don't want to lose either an activation or a deactivation, if I can save it by waiting. But I don't want to wait if I don't have to (e.g. if the lost activation will be restored later).

Can any dev. give feedback on the greenish/blue hue the rocket motors have now? Visible with Mavs/Rockets. Should be orange.

 

I noticed this as well, the tgt point system works a little diff as also. adjusting the altimeter pressure also still effects the autopilot and pitch.

Shouldn't it?

OK, got it all loaded and running and have to say that the FPS is the same or maybe better than 1.2.0 I have everything on high except civ traffic and heat blur, cockpit shadows off. No extra tweaks in game or nVidia control panel yet.

 

This is based on just a couple of runs through playing instant action but looks promising.

No concerns regarding the activations, I can always get more.

Love the new FFAR sound, and the "Finger of God" new ground impact effect!!!

Smoke trails are interesting now...

Don't really know if the SU-25T Vikhr targetting circle should slip left-right like that after launch but it's better that one then missiles going dumb into the ground...

And, yes... the TGP Point mode doesn't stick to target as before, and the Maverick seeker doesn't jump to wrong nearby target when locked as before...

 

Fix the FPS drop issue gentlemen, and we have a winner!!!:worthy:

Full install too many times, I'm running out of my activation!

 

Uninstalling and reinstalling do not require any activations. You can uninstall and reinstall 10 000 times and still have all your activations.

 

PS: To clarify before it becomes the subject of a meal, yes we are aware of the used activation issue of the 1.2.1. module install - an exception rather than the rule

With all these "known issues that will be fixed in the next patch" I do ask myself why this updates was released. It's not a matter of a slight bug but the choppy gameplay and all the other issues actually make it unplayable.

Guess our squad will be sticking to "good old 1.1.1" for quite some time yet ... :-/

This stems from the process how a release candidate is formed. If you are interested, research how version control (SVN, e.g.) works.

Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

Not true. I had to reinstall BS2 1.2.0 a couple times and lost a couple activations.

No, it stems from companies knowingly releasing bugged products so as to keep dangling the carrot in front of everyone. I'm sorry, but you don't release something with a known FPS issue until it's fixed.

Man, I'm sorry to hear people are having all these issues, but put me down as a data point for which everything is improved - I've got smooth framerates with everything but AA set on high now, whereas before I kept having to knock various settings back and still got occasional bouts of slowdown when over a town.

 

One strange thing I noticed, though, is my wingman doesn't seem to want to attack anything anymore - I was so used to seeing his little "M" on my RWR after telling him to go after air defenses I didn't realize it was an SA-9 until I looked back just in time to see that little gray rod whizzing at me.

For when it goes wrong: Win10x64, GTX1080, Intel i7 @3.5 GHz, 32GB DDR3, Warthog HOTAS, Saitek combat rudder pedals, TrackIR 5 / Vive Pro, a case of Pabst, The Funk

Hi, what are your system specs please? Maybe the FPS problem is just nVidia related?

 

My system is:

- ASUS Sabertooth Z77

- i7 2600K OC @ 4.8GHz

- 16GB RAM 1600MHz

- PNY nVidia GTX680 2GB VRAM

- Samsung SSD 256GB

 

Before updating I had 60-80 FPS average in the first A-10 instant action mission, after update it's 30-40 FPS...
