Perf down

I got significat loss in game performance after installing the EF. I believe this has something to do with technicality of the program, I have tried this latest version of EF once ([IP address redacted] with fixed) once and still have na excellent performance but recently the perf is significantly reduced to one red bar (from the previous four) and I can't bring it back to normal.

I tried re-installed the game (both CoH and EF), I got four bars perf back to CoH but not EF.

Please advise.

The performance bars mean very little. What is your actual average framerate while playing?

? How can I check that?

Download FRAPS.

I also recently found an oddity that might explain this. I recently got a new GPU (Gigabyte GeForce GTS450, 1GB GDDR5, not overclocked) and I get a similar performance drop. I notice that the new card doesn't even get warm while playing Eastern Front, but playing vCoH or any other game is fine (card gets hot but performance is good).

Could it be that somehow EF does not recognise this card or is somehow prevented from using it?

do you updated the drivers to the latest firmware?

I will try this over the weekend, but still not sure why vCoH works properly and the performance drop only happens in EF.

Just make sure you don't have ULTRA settings on the graphic options.

I checked everything over the weekend. None of my settings are on Ultra and I have the latest Nvidea driver for my GPU. So I'm at a loss...  ???

I had the same issue when i new did set up my computer.

Update your DX9 drivers!
