1. Have you noticed a significant performance decrease from 0.87 -> 0.9?
I had performance issues with 0.87. I've also experienced performance issues within the new maps in 0.9. I would say that both 0.9 and 0.87 versions have bad performance.

2. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your performance in 0.9.
6/10


3. Name three or more maps in 0.9 which result in the worst performance.
Fallujah West, Gaza Beach, Beirut, Operation Ochimara, Ramiel


4. From the maps mentioned above, state which specific areas/directions affect your performance the most.

When i most look towards the buildings/center and main area of fallujah, beirut and gaza beach i usually get a signifcant performance drop when looking in a specific direction. In Ramiel i get a performance drop when looking at the fire stacks.

5. Name any maps that you have no performance issues with. ]
Silent Eagle, Fools Road, Al Basrah.

1. Have you noticed a significant performance decrease from 0.87 -> 0.9?
Yes, on certain maps.



2. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your performance in 0.9.
5


3. Name three or more maps in 0.9 which result in the worst performance.
Gaza Beach (15fps), Dragonfly (15 - 20fps), Fallujah West (15 - 20fps), Lashkar Valley (15fps - 20fps)


4. From the maps mentioned above, state which specific areas/directions affect your performance the most.
Gaza - if I look towards the centre of the map - my computer dies.
Dragonfly - Quite bad everywhere, the worst area is central city or in the fields in the NE corner.
Fallujah - Everywhere.
Lashkar Valley - Fine in the desert and hills - as soon as I look directly towards the Main northern town my computer has a fit (in a bad way).

With all maps my loading time has increased quite significantly. In .87 it was about 1 -2mins for most maps, my average loading time now is closer to 4minutes. Almost doubled. This is with new and old maps.


5. Name any maps that you have no performance issues with.

...Al Basrah maybe? Oh and haven't played Jabal yet so maybe that. Can't really be sure.

1. Have you noticed a significant performance decrease from 0.87 -> 0.9?
I did have to lower my graphics until I updated my drivers for the video card (from version 7.15 to 8.17). Now im back to mostly high settings like back in .87


2. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your performance in 0.9.
8-9


3. Name three or more maps in 0.9 which result in the worst performance.
Yamalia, Lashkar, Fallujah


4. From the maps mentioned above, state which specific areas/directions affect your performance the most.
Only time I have significant problems is when I try to "jerk" the camera around... like when I get into a surprise engagement. When I "jerk" my comp tends to lag real hard for a couple milliseconds and my screen "jumps".
This may be unrelated, but my system does not play well with JDAMs


5. Name any maps that you have no performance issues with.
Pretty much the rest of them

1. Have you noticed a significant performance decrease from 0.87 -> 0.9?

Yes. 10 minutes into every game I'll get heavy lag which lasts for about 5 minutes. It comes back once in a while. Lowering graphic settings doesn't help at all.

2. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your performance in 0.9.

7

3. Name three or more maps in 0.9 which result in the worst performance.

In every map comes lag but Silent Eagle is the worst so far.

4. From the maps mentioned above, state which specific areas/directions affect your performance the most.



5. Name any maps that you have no performance issues with.

I randomly lag in every map. Didn't have that lag in any previous version.

Yes! >_<

2. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your performance in 0.9.

5.5 - 6

Fahlooja, Yamalia, Korengal.

4. From the maps mentioned above, state which specific areas/directions affect your performance the most.

The entirety of all listed maps.

5. Name any maps that you have no performance issues with.

I always have performance issues (no matter the map) compared with people who have more RAM and better hardware. Before .9, I used to be able to play at 1440x900 with EVERYTHING on High except for AA which there was either x2 or none at all. Now, I have to play with the settings listed and it f**king blows. I had NO lag on Fahlooja before .9. Now I can barely play it.

1. Have you noticed a significant performance decrease from 0.87 -> 0.9?

A large performance decrease. I've tried over-clocking and not over-clocking both my CPU and two graphics cards. I've tried running the game using only one 3870 card. I've messed with the video settings a number of times ranging from maxed out, which is what I used to do, all the way down to minimum. The performance loss doesn't seem to be a horsepower problem, same results every time.

2. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your performance in 0.9.

What used to be an easy 10, is now a 4.


3. Name three or more maps in 0.9 which result in the worst performance.

Fallujah West
Gaza Beach
Muttrah City
And basically any map late in the game when there is a lot of debris and objects scattered about.

4. From the maps mentioned above, state which specific areas/directions affect your performance the most.

When you look towards a large portion of the map assuming your back is close to the map edge, the game slows down. And if it is late game with a lot of body, environment, and vehicle debris. Example: You spawn in U.S. base in Fallujah and immediately looking North East will kill your FPS until you look away. This is from start to finish.

5. Name any maps that you have no performance issues with.

Basically all maps in one fashion or another. The entire game just doesn't run as well. Even if I play on a map that doesn't give me visual FPS problems, I guarantee I still lost FPS compared to what I used to have. The only thing is that with some maps I may have gotten 100 fps, but now get 60. That's still a problem from a technical stand point.
