Hi Guys
I found the latest patch for Flanker 2 reduced the games performance by an order of magnitude i.e it not run good! Has this been the experience of others? I run it on a p3 700 128 sdram and a tnt2/32meg card. It seemed to run okish prior to the upgrade (except when any number of aircraft where about) THanks for any input.

One thing the patch did was increase the resolution of the rear mirrors. This has caused a significant drop in performance while in the cockpit for many people. Try turning them off, or go to an external view and see how it works there. Common word is that with mirrors OFF performance is BETTER by a small amount. The Jedi Master

Hello. Has anyone experienced what I've dubbed the "re-start" bug? This is what happens: whenever I play 2 or more missions(whether instant combat or the default missions) exit the game (to take a break from F2 or play other games), then re-start F2, the openening trailer runs then right before it begins to load the Main menu screen...CTD with an error message like "Ddhelp performed an illegal operation...". Before this problem all began, I got an error message stating that I should send these 2 files (ERROR.log and EXCEPT.log to flanker2@eagle.ru-which I did). This problem began to happen for me only starting with 2.03a and this happens with both my Voodoo3 and GeForce DDR. Someone (aka Skydiver) posted that he had this problem and someone else responded that there's nothing that can be done, unless it is going to be addressed in F2.5. Does anyone know if SSI acknowledged that this bug exists and this it will be fixed in F2.5?
