Patch 7 beta has broken campaign... Probably best to avoid it!

Ultra.

It is not due to the I7 because I have one too and I get rain freeze.

Hmm, same here. So the difference is not due to you using smaller unit size. But I see, Myth is having the rain freeze also on I7.

What graphics cards you both use? I am NVIDIA, gtx 680

Thanks for replies - patch 7 downloading as I type.

And in return: I too get huge slowdown whenever the battlefield is raining. Around 1 frame a second (or less) but not so bad that I can't hit 'Wait' and get the next day's weather coming up in a bearable amount of time. Been the same with all patches of Rome II, and the same when running under both 'Ultra' and the next down settings.

CPU: i7-3770
GPU: Radeon 7950 (3 Gb)
Mem: 16 Gb DDR3 2400 MHz

I do have a graphics mod which reduces rain effects. Maybe thats it?

I'm still running patch 5 at the moment but would like, after I finish my current campaign, to try patch7. Are the problems in the beta all solved now that the official patch7 has been released? No recent complaints in any thread to date, so I hope that means that you are all happily playing it.... ?

The biggest problem I had in p7beta was a game freeze when targeting an enemy with grouped missile units. That no longer occurs in Patch 7.

I do still have the rain FPS slowdown, but for me that is not a Patch 7 problem, that's happened pretty much the whole time I've played this game. If anything, Patch 7 seems to have helped a little in that regard, because occasionally playable rain battles come along now (not often).

Here, its the Radious Graphics mod:

Bear in mind that it also adds new loading screens.

Oh, that might be it. I have heard that the graphics mod somehow optimizes particle effects. Folks can have higher settings and better performance with it.

What happens if you install that over SEEM? You know the mod that improves what blood and fire and all that looks like.

I dont think its compatible.
