December 8th Update Notes

[Eule]

Very good:

-Improved CPU performance for all players
-Fixed occasional crash when changing teams in the role selection menu

Good:

-There is now a 5 second timeout after using a reinforcement wave in countdown. This addresses problems where several waves get used up at once.
-Servers that become unranked will now attempt to become ranked again after the map changes. We are still working on fully solving the issue with some servers going unranked, but this will help improve the issue.

Do not know:

-Fixed the round end screen not displaying if the spawn select menu is open

Misinvestment of time:

- Weapon upgrades that have been unlocked no longer have a lock icon next to them in the profile menu
-If the last player alive is still bleeding out they will now be able to live out their last few seconds before the round ends
-Spectators will now respect the server's roaming restrictions if the viewed player is killed
-New achievement Fighting The War on Christmas - Participate in a successful territory capture on Commissars House

Sorry for missing the following fixes:
- "bullet/wall (not) penetration texture"- bug
- "Tank-positioning/orientation/lag"- bugs
- "not shooting" bug
- "not able to move anymore"-bug (ATR and light-MGs)
- "PZB/PTRS"-bugs (purchase option for veteran and penetration tables)

still getting 40% gpu usage, and the game still only uses about 60% of my cpu

**** it, I'm done, wasted 45 euro but w/e, I'll go back to playing BF3 on max (shadows at high) and enjoying 50 fps and proper use of my system

 

[MtnMan01]

Thx for the ur hard work.
Most of us realize you got the bull by the horns now....

 

[jolorulz]

Great patch!.. please fix the spawn location selection menu. When trying to reselect a spawn location (';'), the menu itself flicks on and off. Hope to see that one particularly annoying bug removed...

 

[Lavalampdrinker]

This patch fixed NOTHING! And after two months it still crashes when joining teams or 4 minutes after playing with good fps. I even enjoyed the game when it was all laggy and I had faith , but cmon it at least worked! Tripwire, I have provided information and dmp files and just because I am maybe one of the few peruvian R02 players doesn

I like the sound of better CPU performance. Thanks, looking forward to the next (especially if it features gameplay and browser fixes)

Got a Phenom II x6 1090T and HD 5870 Vapor X : depending on maps and places, FPS were between 45 and 70, now i noticed between 55 and 85, well done !

Keep it up ! Can't wait for new content and gameplay changes/fixes

(I'm thinking missing 1st spawn when new map is loaded, broken SL spawn, auto-respawn button in order not to miss respawn because died "a second too late"... And much more you're aware of, thanks to many threads

 

[Deadbolt]

Good update guys! A small request would be to have a little message telling you when someone steals your class from battlefield commission.

Thanks!

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Yeah, some of us ROOST Vets might be bustin' your balls about gameplay, but its only because we like and believe in you

Thanks for everything!

 

[r5cya]

thank you tripwire! nice fps boost and more important, the game really ran smooth! still have the sound bug though. hope you guys are working on that as well!
keep up the good work!

 

[Sensemann]

Since I read about performance boosts: Great.

I hope that Station will be more stable for me, cause I run it between 40-70 fps, but sometimes, when artillery drops, fps go as low as 15 fps and stick there until I am dead.

Thanks for the patch, will try this weekend. Keep it coming.

The SDK patch for compatibility with this update is coming shortly. As for the full SDK release that is a top priority for us and will coming as quickly as we can make it ready.

Does this update break the ability to use the SDK?

 

[Merin Redplate]

This is good, thanks.

 

[bradleyg5]

Anybody with an AMD CPU confirm if the game is running decently yet? the phenom IIs don't seem to be able to pull 60fps in the game.

 

[Eisprinzessin]

Does this mean we can finally toggle unlocks?

There was no answer for this question yet?
I hate my Bajonett.

 

[RexYnator]

Thanks TWI gonna get some mates to play this shortly before we all jump on Killing floor!

 

[Apparo89]

thanks!

(Phenom II X4 965 BE @ 3,7GJz):

NO fps increases recognized till now (for me)

The only thing i can confirm till now is that they did something about the locked/unlocked display issue.

And somehow i feel that they did something about the sound??? Anyone confirm that?

 

[Germane]

... Waited so long for this patch, and now the fps are worse than before. Much more stuttering and fps drop. Before this patch i get minimum fps of 30, now it
