fibre to cabinet in september, hurrah.
Being woken up on a sunday by shouts of 'howzat!' from the village green is better than living in a city and having insta porn wink

Seem to have an ok setup now for my rig

I can still have all on max settings but frame rate has dropped to between 56-66, when before it was mid 70s.

The tort does look nice now smile

Lots of people on the main WOT forums also reporting FPS drops and such with the new patch, hopefully it gets sorted out soon for everyone affected. It seems like a sizeable number of complaints so must be something wrong, the first test on the test server didn't have these problems so fingers crossed the cause and solution can be hot patched out.

Luckily for me I seem to have gotten away with it - the auto detect graphics settings (which used to default to minimum for some odd reason) now set me to maximum, and getting a stable 40-50 fps which is the same as pre patch but with slightly higher settings. The occasional CTD I was getting in game too seems to have gone, although that might just be luck on the relatively few games played last night.

Those new HD models are nice though, haven't seen a tortoise up close but will look out for one.

If you do that you can switch back to use torrents and pick up the gig you have already downloaded...

interesting; 8 minutes to download 2700Mb, in my case, using torrents. I'll have to turn it off next time, and see how long it takes.

Had crashes in one game, back to desktop, reload back to same game 3 times and crashes back to desktop.
Was not the only one as tank next to me was not moving either, gave up at the end.
Played about 8 games and the rest were fine.

I was up the west side of Cliff, wonder if it was something like an object that I couldn't render? Had that a few times in the past with VBS2.

I was just hiding under the bridge in Mountain Pass spotting for the big boys when someone blew their arty off the bridge and it nearly landed on me biggrin

Happened again just now, back to dektop loaded game again went back to same battle and instantly back to desktop.
Hope this aint a sign of things to come as 2 months ago upgraded GFX card and operating system just because of this flippin game which was crashing my pc, at the time even than it started to happen after they put an update.
Just looked on the forums and it seems it is happening to lots of people.

Only had about 4 games but 100 fps, and no crashes, apart from my crap driving obviously.

Think I was in the IS when it crashed.

What a st evening that's been. Admittedly I'm a bit rubbish at the moment having only been playing a few days after a year or more layoff but even so, won about 50% of the games tonight but have generally been in the bottom 5 for most of them frown Only managed about 2k XP qualifying towards a mission in 20 games!

Reports the CTD bug is happening in every tank, and wont let you log in until battle is finished.

Asia servers are down for maintenance for now.
