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

[Lord of the Isles]

Thanks to all for the warnings about beta-patch7 problems, which let me avoid downloading that version.

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.... ?

Ive had zero real problems, save for a problem with playing a joint naval siege battle which causes huge lag.

Hmm, really? You do not have a problem with thunder-rain weather when FPS drop to zero even before you get to the battlefield? What's your rig? Mine is 4.2 Ghz quad-core with 16 GB Ram, and GTX 680 card; still have that rain problem.

I also tend to have slowdowns during siege battles when massed fire-missiles come out. It seems, I am able to reduce the effect of that by turning missile tracking off.

Nope, no rain problem. Im also running an i7 so that might be it.

BTW, what unit size are you using?

[Hooahguy]

Ultra.

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

[Slaists]

Ultra.

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

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).
