As always, I downloaded and installed the latest patch for WOFF which is 1.11. Read the list of changes and thought "Cool". Turns out, 1.11 is better than cool! For some reason(s) (which I will not question) I am experiencing a major increase in frame rate which makes the sim fly amazingly smoother. I have also noticed that the colors are more vibrant and everything else is a whole lot richer. I do not know what the OBD boys did, I just hope they keep doing it.

This seems to be true. Everything goes a lot smoother now. It's not a placebo effect, because I monitor the FPS and I'm seeing less of a drop than before even when there's plenty of action over the front.

The new patch is the only thing that has changed in my PC, so it must be the cause of this improvement.

Same here. Last night I flew a mission that was as smooth as oiled glass. Usually I get microstutters all the way through a campaign sortie. And last night's mission was over the lines with arty going off; I had five other planes with me; lots of clouds; flak and machine gun fire during a ground attack; bomb explosions. Ran smoothly the entire time.

Curious if the devs knowingly tweaked something to this end, as I don't recall seeing anything about it in the patch notes.

Well me as well. Thought the very same thing after d/l v1.11 WOFF running much, much smoother, higher FPS, just as others are reporting.

I had tweaked my GPU and CPU the other day and thought that was it..and I was so proud of myself thinking that my first overclocking experiment was the answer. ;>)

I've only played one mission on 1.11 and did notice fps peaked at 60 {it was peaked at 50 before} but I figured it to be random. And the sample size is kinda low.

Seriously, guys, I don't know what you did (inadvertently?neaner) and why performance tweaks are not mentioned in the patch notes, but please just leave it this way. Looks like this patch eliminated everything I've been whining about all this time. Enormous thank you and looking forward to the add-ons.

Can't get this new patch DL fast enough! Need to try this out (in conjunction w/my new CPU!)

Curious to see if the devs fess up to making some performance tweak or another!

The patch has helped smooth things out a lot for me as well. The only other change that I made was on Process Lasso I gave CFS3.exe I/O High Priority to match the Above Normal Priority for CPU time. I thought maybe that might help stop sound based high FPS micro-stutters when looking around. I figured that was what made the difference at first, but given that everyone else is experiencing the same thing I am, I'd say it was probably the 1.11 patch.

Give the patch a try sir. cheers

I just flew another mission with really smooth framerates. The difference is easy to see. Almost the only stutters I get are when I start the mission, and that's normal when everything is being loaded for the first time.

I haven't practiced any of that computer black magic some of the guys here are involved in simply because I'd probably wreck my PC if I even attempted any of it, so the only thing that has changed is the version of WOFF that I'm playing. No new drivers or anything simple like that. smile

Okay, just completed an airfield attack mission. My squadron went in with two flights totaling seven aircraft during a piss pouring rainstorm. While attacking airfield, 7+ incoming enemy aircraft attacked. Big furball ensued (got two) and three more enemy aircraft were able to lift off and attack. Close to 20 aircraft fighting in the pouring rain with AAA and small arms coming up from the ground. Averaged 65-73 FPS with one drop to 51 FPS. No stuttering and no problems. All with an Nvidia 630 GeForce. Whatever the ODB lads did with patch 1.11, I hope they leave things as they are.

Awesome!!! That's a relatively anemic card by WOFF standards, too - what CPU are you running?

For the first time since I purchased my new GTX 780 GPU can I honestly state that all my issues have been resolved with exception of game start up. Looks like OBD has fixed the stuttering, jaggies and white triangles issues. A great big thank you for everything OBD has done to date to assure that all our questions have been answered and patches supplied with the fixes. Absolute stellar customer service if I may say!!!!!!!!!!!! The game is running smooth and can now be enjoyed to it's fullest.

Yup, I have flown missions from all my active pilots, up and down the front and I too am getting far improved performance with next to no stutters. Very pleased.

Just finished a quick RNAS-3 flight along the coast and in the span of 2 minutes (and according to Post Mission details, 29 rounds fired with just only 6 rounds impacting) I downed two Albi V's!

First one was being engaged by a squadmate and I closed to about 100 yards and fired a short burst, his motor immediately belched black smoke, he flipped over on his back and I watched as he went in at around 90 miles an hour.

A moment later my attention snapped back as I took a few rounds from behind. I kicked rudder hard and came about just as another Albi crossed in front of me. I fired another quick burst of maybe 15 rounds at 10 yards and again I was rewarded with a plume of debris and smoke from his engine and he too went down uncontrolled.

I think luck must have really been with me!

Until this week, I have never flown a Camel in any WWI sim, but I am hooked on them now!

Hah! Spoke too soon. Next mission with my RNAS-3 pilot... I got a little too aggresive with a flight of DFW's. Ended up ramming one as I was trying to light him up...

Just goes to show you... luck is fleeting in the skies over Flanders fields...
