We know it's beta...but the patch has made things worse for some...and it's in the last week more or less of beta...so surely at this point everything should be working well and just those hard to find bugs should be getting tracked down.

As is I'd guess we must be at least a month from release state...let alone no one has tested the SP campaign.

No one from the DDE beta group is going to be testing the SP campaign, I'm pretty sure. I think that TWI will manage to sort out everything before the release.

What are you setting ingame. Dev's said the new maps are MUCH bigger then the first ones, so you're gonna need to lower your settings cause you may be running out of memory. So, try that and see. I had to turn my settings down, hopfully release all this is fixed so I can have everything back up again :)

Let me say it this way. i accidently ran Crysis in 2 instances... and my FPS dident drop... basicly my point is that this cute little quad machine can take a game like this. A bigger map, is not my problem, Its something in the new patch throwing players out .

The game would run out of memory if the texture setting was too high, but if the crashes can be fixed by changing the shadow setting then theres something clearly wrong with the engine/maps.

As one who works as a game tester, I can assure you that, just because a game is as unstable as it appears to be now, it doesn't mean it's any far away from being polished than any other time.

These are certainly showstopper issues we're coming across, but that only means they'll be top priority for the developers. Crashes we could be experiencing now are likely already fixed, and are now being regressed before we get them.

Keep in mind, it's at this point in a game's development, that developers and testers are working double the normal hours a week, focusing only on bug fixes.

And for the record, I'm having the issues the rest are. I'm not able to get into a game without an instant crash (even before then, I was stuck with the "downloadable content" whenever I tried to join any server I could find). Yes, I'm not happy with the current state of the beta, but this is kinda the point of giving us beta access. More players = more stress-testing. In the end, memory and stability issues like this will not be present.

+1 DAMN IT ! I can't play for 5 minutes! Or the best part - the game freeze for 20 sec and then it unfreeze but I am already dead. I am not even talking about the super cool feature when you join in countdown server, then the game crasher and you have to join again but as a spectator and different class (if you want different class from rifleman) :mad: I am so pissed off right now. I am on the fence to cancel my pre order. I mean what guarantees me that the full version will be better huh ? Nothing. 95% of the full version is based on the beta so..

The whole game seems to be unstable.

At times I mt fps just drops 80% or so.

Everytime an artillery shell hits in barracks, no matter where I am, my fps takes a huge dip. It's really annoying.

Try raising your shadow detail in graphic settings. Many people are experiencing frequent crashes when shadow is set to Low or Medium, whereas higher settings are stable.
