Also posted on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/...ing_fix_setting_texture_quality_above_medium/ Before last patch I didn't have any hitching at all. My HW is enough to play game on medium settings with 2560x1440, 60 FPS. Though I would play on low, except for Texture on ULTRA and particles on high. Post patch with old setting I now get hitching. I only tested hitching for 2 things:: hitching in WG just looking around hitching in ESF turning or changing view between ground / skies. After long testing I found out that: with textures on Medium I have no hitching at all with textures on High I have a bit of hitching (that kinda goes away after some time) with textures on Ultra I have heavy hitching looking around in WG and flying. Sometimes goes away for a short period of time. My graphics settings: [Rendering] OverallQuality=-1 GraphicsQuality=1 TextureQuality=2 ShadowQuality=0 LightingQuality=1 EffectsQuality=1 TerrainQuality=1 FloraQuality=4 ModelQuality=3 RenderDistance=4086.000000 Gamma=0.600000 VerticalFOV=74 ParticleLOD=2 ParticleDistanceScale=0.650000 FogShadowsEnable=0 VSync=0 AO=0 MaximumFPS=80 UseLod0a=0 BloomEnabled=0 MotionBlur=0 Smoothing=0 Some Nvidia settings currently: Anisotr. filtering: aplication; Anisotr. optimal. = on; Texture filtering = high perform.; Texture LOD = allow; Trilinear opt. = on; Max prerendered = 1; Shader cache = off; Threaded optimal. = on Vertical synch = adaptive (used to limit my fps thru ingame, but with ad. vsynch I get no tears and surprisingly no visible input lag);
They added more multi cpu threading to the game, so it might cuase more heat on ur CPU now that more cores can be used at once. Hitching normally happens on MBs with low phase power supply - id recommend anything with atleast 6+2 for high, and 10+2 for ultra now
