How big is it? (The update that is!)

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Mines downloading 2.68gb

Edit: and 8.43gb

 

[TheBrooder]

Not too bad then

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

And 8.43gb, downloading at 25mbps though

 

[chanjy]

8GB

8GB

Well it's 5 new maps and 11 guns etc... it's a big expansion.

Shame i cant look forward to it as my PC is a stuttery mess in this game due to the Creators update.

Mines downloading now...

Suppose it's the maps, the Revolution edition download was something like 60GB first time I installed!

Guns mus be a few skins, animations and sounds plus a few lines of code so can't be big.

Wow thanks, I wasn't even aware of this but definitely felt like some of my games have been running poorly since the Creators Update hit.

Looking forward to a few games tonight with the update; after buying Premium I'm really enjoying the game again - feels like it's freshened things up massively for me.

There saying its mainly pascal effected but ive seen a few maxwell reports too. Am hoping windows and nvidia get it sorted too as its insanely annoying.

Can you try this?: in Windows 10 go to Settings, Privacy, Feedback and Diagnostics and change "Send your device data to Microsoft" from Full(recommended) to Basic.

There is a performance bug with this setting in Windows that affects CPU performance, particularly in certain games. In Tyranny (the worst offender by far, which is how I noticed the problem) I gain 30%+ more FPS if I do the above (tested on two machines). I spent two weeks tearing my hair out and did multiple reinstalls of Windows when I inexplicably lost performance. I then stumbled upon the solution by chance.

Pretty shocking from Microsoft if true...

I'll check. That's usually the setting I choose, but maybe the CU changed it back! It changed all my Nvidia control panel options....

Welp todays update requires a minimum of 384.94 - I'm on 382.53, going to be ****** if this breaks it!

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Loving the new maps, having weapons and perks to unlock really freshens it up.

 

[opethdisciple]

Have they improved performance at all since today's patch?

No simple tweaks will fix the Windows Creators Update stutter. It's been present for 6 months across two of my different computer builds and nothing I've done has fixed it (indeed nothing should NEED to be done by the end user to have stutter free gaming as in previous versions of Windows). We have to hope that the Fall Creators Update will fix it, but even that may not solve it, because Microsoft has only acknowledged the issue recently and the fix may not make it in time for Fall Creators Update. See the massive thread about the issue on the NVIDIA forums.

I get a stuttering with BF1 and PUGB they're the only games I play at present, to try and describe it - 2/3 times per game/round I get slow downs, similar to lag but no rubber banding involved, also a drop in FPS by 50% which instantly goes back up soon as I look at the counter more of a stuttering freeze like back in the days when my hardware was lacking to run the game correctly. Only noticed it last few months, Is this the Windows Creator update problem?

That depends on what the issue is. My workaround definitely increases performance in Tyranny in particular and that increase is very substantial. Given that I know that area is CPU limited as changing CPU frequency affects frame rate, it might help BF1 multiplayer since that is also CPU limited.

Microsoft seem to be very keen on collecting user data and making you use their apps and services, sometimes to the detriment of everything else. I reported this issue to Microsoft a while ago.

******* pathetic.

And to top it off you can ONLY use the landship on that map, no other tank options, so in all likely hood you get stuck with 2 gunners that are constantly firing at walls and **** all else.
