It has still a low FPS, even when the graphics quality is set to the lowest level, and starting SSE2010 takes a lot of time, approx. 10 minutes.

The update is great. I found some great update to the Orient Star, before, a light was where there was nothing there, after, structure added. I also found an "Easter Egg" ship in Mission Editor. Go under player ships and right above Fortissmo, there is a modified powerboat I identify as a Dragboat. It must be the first time seeing this ship. I also like the cinematic camera.

Still get low FPS

Even with mediun/low config. But i made just one trip. IÂ´ll use it more to give a more acurate view.

bug encountered

All ships boucing up and down in calm seas

Vote Point3

Same MP tug bug as before

FPS not better

Can not see Ships in Chart lightgrey

Chart not movable/resizeable

No ping, no shipinfo at chatbox

I am dissapointed cause I have huge FPS drop down (for about 15-20 down)

LoneWolfDon · « **Reply #7 on:** January 07, 2011, 01:53:26 »

Hiya. I haven't had a chance yet to quite test out SSE since the new update, so I can't say yet.

But, I wanted to point out what is probably a typo in the Poll choices.
The way you currently have it worded, the first and last choice are the same:

"Yes, I am 100% satisfied"

and

"I am completely now satisfied (why?)"

Where I'm assuming the "now" should have been a "not"?

Or better yet it if that's the case, it seems an odd formation of a sentence and might be better worded as:
"I am completely dissatisfied (why?)"

Anyways, I'll be busy trying out SSE tonight and will probably post back some of my comments in the forums here about the update and how things look and work now.
Cheers.

Yeah, thumbs up from me

It's all good.This patch defendant made a big dent into the features, performance, fixes and enhancements. Probably not too far way from fully patching up the game, but for now everything that was mentioned in the patch release notes worked out nicely, plus a few little things that have also been tweaked. This is a good indication of keeping my computer up to date, clean, and the rest of it so my current RIG can run the game smoothly

I guess now I really should get a new computer with this slide-show (5 fps)..

(Windows XP,/ Pentium4, 3Ghz,/ 2Gb RAM,/ 8800GT)

Guess they weren't kidding about when they said, must have a good rig to run it.

Sunseekeringo · « **Reply #11 on:** January 07, 2011, 09:45:53 »

ItÂ´s ok but IÂ´m confused about the engine which sometimes stops when I change my view. But I like the steerings from the nock now which are working when I push the keyboard button several times (but the walkthrough button irritates me as I am pushing it longer and switch to a deck view (vermaas) and cannot switch back to the bridge view).

Unfortunately I donÂ´t have the time at the moment to test more things.

Cheers

Saltydog: Your gear meets the system requirements, and so does mine.

Although my machine easily should be able to handle the game, the frame rate is nearly as low as on yours - 6-10 fps.

As my machine doesn't have any problems with other software - including flight and driving simulations - and runs the other software than SSE fast and smooth, I don't believe that the faults are to be found in the PC, but rather in the software. This again means that you can't be sure that the game runs properly with new equipment.

SSE ran lousy before updating and runs even lousier now.

I am completely dissatisfied and think I'll give up now.

saltydog · « **Reply #13 on:** January 07, 2011, 19:46:02 »

It's strange. I'm able to play SS08 at 15-20 fps (max settings), and even Extremes at a reasonable 12-16 fps.(pre-update)
I read lots of complaints from guys with much better systems than mine about dramatic decrease of frame-rates since the update.
I think I'll stick with SS08 for a while..

Heikodewal · « **Reply #14 on:** January 07, 2011, 19:58:00 »

I am using it for 2 hrs now and although there are numerous improvements in vessels, controls and UI, I am missing the improved performance that was promised. I could play SSE 1.2.2 (just...), now the performance is unsatisfying (to put it mildly). Please don't take me wrong VSTEP, I appreciate all the additions and improvements and the effort, but a performance decrease was not promised!!!

MokMok · « **Reply #15 on:** January 07, 2011, 20:09:12 »

At the forum there many more complaints about the performance since the 1.3-patch of SSE2010 has been released! A bad performance of SSE2010 will hurt the reputation of Vstep, so Vstep must make sure they will release a patch which will fix all these performance isues.

Kristian01 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 07, 2011, 20:27:43 »

exactly that^^
Lot of people with high-enf PC have problems with it...
25-30 FPS is nothing, min 50-60FPS is to play without lagging

I would be VERY happy with 25-30 fps - even 15-20 would be enough for me!

But I had 9-13 before the update and now, after the update, we are talking about 6-10!!! Plus lots of errors (Game hanging or engines that won't start etc.)

On the other hand - now I'm able to enjoy every single frame ...

It's probably hard to be a moderator these days. And I guess that at VStep they sit and ask themselves, why so many people complain again.

TNeves · « **Reply #18 on:** January 07, 2011, 20:50:29 »

I am very satisfied! I had too a drop of framerates, maybe 10 FPS, why? Now AA is on very high, but the game is almost always rock solid and smooth. However I didn't see any improvement in CPU usage, it still uses only hardly 1 core of the CPU (I have

, but maybe that's enough. The graphics with AA on are much better!

In my opinion, VSTEP done it right

Congrats.

krytsch · « **Reply #19 on:** January 07, 2011, 20:54:30 »

Im my frps would drop 10 fps, the game wouldd run with a negative fps

coryt415 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 07, 2011, 21:13:19 »

yes there are some good changes but when in the agile solution when moving around in walk around mode engines change up/down when walking (i walk forward=engine full throttle/backwards = reverse) why are some options on mission editor blocked out such as environment settings (choppyness and crest size) being able to adjust wave spacing would be nice big waves seems alittle close togeather would be nice to have spaced swells but yes there are some great improvements like the the radar/map on the bridge working

Heikodewal · « **Reply #21 on:** January 07, 2011, 23:27:49 »

I voted completely unsatisfied because of even poorer performance and unsuspected changes to rudder and throttle when changing from orbit to helmsman view and vv.
This really is the next disappointment from VSTEP and there are no more excuses left.

MokMok · « **Reply #22 on:** January 07, 2011, 23:32:39 »

I am only satisfied with the higher waves since the 1.3-patch than before. The performance has got worse.

saltydog · « **Reply #23 on:** January 07, 2011, 23:40:52 »

I re-installed the game, but without any updates..
Now, instead of 5 fps. I have my familiar 12-16 fps back..

Its should not be the case that with any newer updates of SSE2010 the performance degrades! When will Vstep fix th performance breakdowns?
