I Tryed The New Patch But...

#1
I have just installed the new patch, the new textures r just too awesome and new expolisions kick some serious asses!

Yes many things have been added to the game unfortunately i cannot longer play the game, the slowdowns r just impossible!

I have an xp1800 with an ATI9000 PRO and 512 DDR 333Mhz. I tryed the game with a Torpedo Boat,the game play seems very good (as long the game does not slows down) the soon the games engines start to process the airplanes and some ships it becomes very slow!!! If am hit with all that smoke the game becomes just impossible to play...

I tryed with 16it textures, I use low sea rendering, reduced the deph view but still the same thing...

So much 4 enigma for me... I dont know when will i upgrade my computer again... but one thing is for sure... not soon... (if this is a power issue).

I also noticed ocasionaly texture probs with the slow downs, like the objects having no textures (they become plain White or Red(subs interior)).

Anyway this is wishlist for the next patch:

1-I miss so VERY much the old early sea in the USA version...

2-Having underwater eyecandy too... (a bit greener sea with lighspots over the

subs hull for a start(like Silent Hunter 2))

3-having the sea transparent (EAST told me that it was planned, i wish this in the

next patch)

4-Can we have ship model details scale down? What about texture quality scaledown?

Maybe this way I could play enigma again :) it seems the new good looking

textures have a big price on performance!

5-And all grahical things perfected like the water turbulence in the vessels bow slowly

appearing and becoming bigger with speed, not suddenly. And....

Well not in real mood to write anything more, this patch left me kinda sad...

Cheers ppl!

Nothing is exactly the same config- motherboards, Processors, bus speed, type of RAM,type of ram in the graphics card, type of graphics card (AGP/PCI) overclocking theres lots that can vary. By giving the graphics card and memory.... dont know where I'm going with this... get the dxdiag.

Well, I will send my dxdiag config this evening. Before the patch I only had slow downs when the missions involved battle ships (last campaign missions).

I know there is a new driver version for my ATI card, but that version is problematic (catalyst 4.2) Ghotic 2 just stoped working with this 4.2 version...

I have 40GB in games on my HD and they all run perfectly and i have not noticed any performance loss on my sys...

Oh I forgot to mention something about engima, the loading times r incredible fast now! :). And when I restart a mission it just reloads it almost instantenious. Very nice!

tks 4 posting m8s!

Well i think i can play the game now.... Well i just put 800x600 and the game does not slows down that much... Yeah what a stupid thing to say...

Why did u not tryed that in first place u say? well because the game runs very smooth at 1280x1024 without the last patch, did not though it will degrade so much with the new patch...

Well now that i can play the game again (but with bigger pixeis ;) I can now see clearly the changes in game play and AI, I also can see the new smooth water explosions anims whitch i love!... but i just think they lack a bit on timing when the airplanes crash on water :)

The game is becoming better and better, yet i have noticed that the light and dark views underwater r now fixed (am very observer...) and i do enjoy small details...

Most features like day time and weather conditions personalization r indeed a awesome addition!

Congratulations to TESSERACTION GAMES for their talent and hard work and special tks for EAST paying attention ppls posts and taking time to respond them...
