If my game is installed in the windows drive (C:\), should I defrag it to get better performance?

Best patch. All my loadouts is there.

I think people are mostly just upset because we were told they would be returning to balance patching, and they did not.

This patch has increased my in game frame rate increased by about 4-5%, not bad. There is less lag spike also. Overall smoothness of gameplay feeling is better.

Thanks Relic.

not if you have a SSD or windows vista or newer.

also, NVIDIA users, are your drivers up to date and do you have SLI?

Yes I keep my drivers up to date with Geforce experience, as soon as a new WHQL driver is out I update. I don't run SLI just the single GTX 580. However one of my CoH 2 mates runs SLI, but disables it before launching CoH 2, not surprisingly he gets the pink vehicles and transparent houses bugs the most often, even with SLI disabled. Don't think the drivers are to blame, because Nvidia can't do much on their end, CoH 2 is not their product, it's up to Relic to work with Nvidia on tailored drivers for a solid performance increase and an SLI profile.

Just had a couple of games last night and I did notice a solid FPS increase and overall smoothness, FPS were in the 50-60 range in 1v1s at high textures, medium image quality, low AA, high setting for Snow, high setting for physics,Ambient Occlusion at 1920x1200. Need to test some more just to rule out the placebo effect. Also need to test on 4v4s as my average FPS was 30 and as low as 15-20 when things got hectic.

So far good patch!

Run the performance test in your game graphic settings. Also, in your Geforce Experience tool you should have a tab with supported games. Your video card will recognize the game and Geforce Experience will recommend you the best settings. Don't chose those settings entirely though, they will recommend you verry low settings in general

Not really, they are in general too high.

does anybody know if they further nerfed the ISU with this patch?

I tried to use it a couple of times to check it out and this thing misses 2 out of 3 times. I thought it was me but I had a game earlier today and today my teammate got 2 of them I dont think he managed to got more than 10 kills before losing them.

Also performance is back to what it was before the WF so kudos for that.

Decreased the mid AOE damage of the high explosive shell from 0.3 to 0.25
Decreased the near AOE distance of the high explosive shell from 1.5 to 1.25
Decreased the mid AOE distance of the high explosive shell from 3 to 2.75
Decreased the penetration of the high explosive shell from 260-200 to 90-30
Removed ability that allows ISU to transform into
Decreased the deflection damage of the high explosive shell from 80 to 40 damage
Increased accuracy on the armor piercing shell from 0.025/0.0375/0.05 to 0.03/0.0425/0.055
Decreased the AOE radius of the armor piercing shell from 6 to 1.5
Decreased the near, mid, and far AOE distance of the armor piercing shell from 4.5, 3, 1.5 to 1.125, 0.75, 0.375


Need Cruzznotes to be sure but no nerfs in accuracy department.
