This game seems to run at 100% CPU use ALL the time
Very efficient yes
As opposed to the situation where people are unhappy that cores remain unused I mean. No point in having cores that are idling
I think the ROF devs need to at least make available a roll-back method to restore ROF to previous updates for those of us having consistent problems
Amen to that, good idea trek.

Yes, forcing players to update and not being able to roll back to earier versions is not a player friendly design. Developer can not always assume that the new version is best for all players with respect to performance.
Version options should be provided for players, IMHO.

Sorry to hear that trek, yes a lot of folk with dual core setups seem to be having problems, but those with quad cores until recently have not exactly been in simming Nirvana either, depending on who you ask. It does seem to be a bit of a lottery as you say, had lots of bother myself but mainly with TrackIR. I am a staunch advocate of the KBO philosophy however (KeepBuggeringOn), I get knocked down but I get up again. Nil Desperandum.  The roll back option should be a given.....Very apprehensive about new patches myself. The Good Neoqb giveth, and they taketh away Hope things get sorted for you mate

Videos of the stuttering speak volumes and can be pointed to as proof. They need a frame of reference.
Jason How I read that, is, we do not belive people are having stuttering issues..proove it. The stuttering issue is game breaking for me also, and I can not find a fix for it either.

I still don't think it is dual core problem. My game was running fine, then updated and got stuttering. Messed with it a good bit and reduced stuttering a lot. Updated again and now back to normal. Smooth, good frame rates and solid, stable performance. I even maxed out the video memory at 101% and clicked to 'continue' when it said I was using too much memory. The game still ran perfectly.
I have no idea what happens to cause this, but I'm not the only one where a patch caused stuttering only to be gone once the next one comes out. For me, it seemed like the patch didn't install correctly, or something to do with how it installed. Restoring the update and defraging my HDD really helped, but I know it hasn't worked for everyone. I still had some stutters, but not near as bad and that brought my frame rates back up.
Now I'm not getting any stuttering at all again. It is running as good as it ever did.
From what I have experienced with my game the last couple months or so, I don't believe it is dual core related. When it is right, my E8400 (at 4.0GHz) runs the game extremely well.
I know this isn't much help and it's an old story. But whatever is causing this to happen isn't due to our cpu, I don't believe.
I hope the next update straightens it out for you. Strange it happens, but quite possibly the next update will correct whatever was causing it. I know it is no fun when you are in between updates with a game that isn't working right. Please be sure the devs are trying to find exactly what is going on. I hope you don't give up entirely.

Guys,
Please, don't get upset if I don't use super flowery language in my posts. I'm trying to help you guys get their attention
Jason You see it works both ways. We use it to get theirs, thing is they gets their panties all bunched up when we do. Its all good as long as it keeps the ball rolling in the right direction. With my luck we will get DF servers in a new patch (any month now) and I will get stutters ...

Hello,
well i'm not playing it anymore, too. I think that while the flight model is good, if not for WW1 crates, the "rest" is really lacking substance - still, after quite some time.
But it will still reside on my PC, and i will occasionally check at the RoF site for news, at least for some more months.
Greetings,
Catfish

Hi, my demo is finished now, I also have Wings Of Prey demo, nd have been comparing both and trying to decide which to buy. I must have one of em! I do prefer RoF, just. Theres just something about it. However, I am getting slight stutters. I had everything maxed out using this set up. Vista 64 ultimate 790i MB E8400 4GB DDR3 2 x GTX 280's in sli (factory overclocked) In a Kandalf tower with plenty of fans, so no overheating issue, usually. I notice the stutter most when I switch camera views. Then it settles down, but is still there to some degree. While in the cockpit, I tell myself its just the wind bobbing me about, but really, its definitely a bit of a stutter. Now I know its a totally different engine to that which Crytek used for Crysis, but I can run that maxed out, and only get a slight stutter (the beach scene when thers lots happening), which is equivalent to that I'm experiencing in RoF. Surely its not as hungry as Crysis. I'm only prepared to buy one of the flight games I've mentioned, but which one. WoP seem to be sorting things out, despite it being a port over from console, and theres no problems for multiplayer (I'm in Australia). While RoF seem to be taking one step forward then another step back. Though I do prefer RoF. Maybe I'll just toss a coin. The thing is, games shouldnt be released early, and I really feel sorry for those that paid for unfinished games months ago. If i go to buy a loaf of bread, I dont expect to be handed the ingredients, then wander around for months on end looking for an oven to put them in. This to me has been a cash flow problem, release it early, so the game can be finished. Thats not the way to do business imo. So there is an element of trust missing also. I havent been intouch with the developers of the game, I'm only going from what I've read online, but theres a ton of it, and i dont know if I want to chance being the next unhappy punter. Though i did love the demo, or at least its potential. Yep, i reckon the coin toss is the only way to go.

Unfortunately if they hadn't released ROF early it would never have been released, but your choice would have been much easier now. Sometime realities get in the way of good business plans. That said if you can afford two nvidia 280's in SLI, you can easily afford to buy both ROF,and WOP.

I own both.
RoF, I have at least 400 hours of play since release.
WoP, I have maybe 2 hours of play since the Steam release.
RoF gets launched at least 5 times a week.
WoP maybe 1 a month.
Not saying WoP isn't good, it is. I just find RoF far more rewarding to play. More challenging, more immersive and more enjoyable.
If I had to flip a coin to decide which one to get, I would hope it was a trick double headed coin and I picked heads.
Or a normal coin and use the old ploy;
Heads RoF wins, Tails WoP lose.

You dont miss what you've never had.
Fortunatley, I 'could' afford to buy a pair of 280's. Times change.

RoF wasn't bad right off the CD. The updates have of course improved it, but it was still good the day it hit the market.
