looking underwater kills my frames!!

[gimpy117]

i have an 2600xt radeon card with a 2.2 GHZ athelon proc.

i just turned on AA uning a narrow tent pattern....on the surface with camera, negilable frame rate loss (maybe 1 or 2) below the surface it drops from 40-45 to 30-25!!! what is wrong!! is this an AA problem what AA setting can i use to fix this??

Nothing wrong that I can tell. Mine used to drop before 1.5. Now mine is steady no matter what I'm looking at. Before though, yep, dipping under the water my frames would drop.

I wonder if this is due to plankton being Anti Aliassed close to the camera.

AVGWarhawk, do you still get plankton underwater in 1.5?

[gimpy117]

yeah are they making an update with the new tweaks but without the new $9.99 fee? if you know what im saying...

No, the add-on contains new game engine code to allow the U-Boat add-on to co-exist with the US campaign. Part of that involves installing a new version of the US campaign layer, so the new code would not be compatible with the old campaign.

Or so that's what I understand of it.

I have the add-on, but I haven't installed it yet.

Yes, I do get the plankton.

No update other then the complete package. IMO, $ $10.00 well spent. I think eventually you will have to purchase the add on. Eventually the mods will go to 1.5. Might be a month or so but this is the general direction I see it going at the moment.
