Does anyone deal with FPS drops and image stuttering at all?

My aircraft control for Pitch got inverted by this "fix" :\

[armablign 33]

I've had “Fix gun direction in mouse view” turned ON before this update, but now my free look sensitivity is very slow.
(I was most likely accustom/used to the 'bugged' sensitivity).
Does anyone know, what my "Camera Mouse Look Speed" (or other setting?) should be set to, so that I can replicate or have the same sensitivity as before?

EDIT:

It seems like only my free look speed for ground vehicles has be effected, while my free look sensitivity for airplanes seems (feels) 'normal' as before.
Is there not a way to make the camera sensitivity different for ground and air?

Same here, I just went to the actual bind controls and inverted it there, don't change 'invert Y-axis' as that will also invert your flight camera/mouse movement.

I honestly don't know how several things broke trying to fix 1 problem (that to me atleast, I wasnt even aware of)

I reported this, but was claimed to be not a bug: https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/D3DkQafaTHIB

I don't know what they did but I cant seem to get back to what it was. I fixed one or the other but not both at the same time (camera and control). Let me know what you changed if you are successful.

[armablign 33]

Please for can the team at Gaijin roll-back this update?
It has screwed over so many people's settings (and more complaints to come).

And do a proper revision of what they changed and how they effect settings.
Alot of people in this short time frame are already complaining about broken settings.

 Same here...

The magnification on the Type 87 RCV should be 1x-8x but because 1x magnification doesn`t get implemented in Warthunder it should honestly get the next best which is as far as I know would be 1.9x-8x magnification (instead of just fixed 8x). In my opinion no vehicle in the game should be nerfed more than needed because one stat is outside of Warthunder`s specification.

Ohhhhh, I just did a small ground battle and thought I messed up when nose-diving my Yak-3 straight down into the ground, thinking it was me because I was half-asleep... top kek.

Now this sounds ok as it would increase the FoV, but in the "It's fixed" article it sounds like they have changed the zoom to make it unhistorical, which would be dumb, and going against the historical premise of the technical side of the game. Zoom shouldn't be used for balance because that is an essential tool for the tactical experience of the real vehicle, with limited negative impact on being able to compete. Maybe the "It's fixed" article could be updated somewhat to clarify that.

 

Actually, the "It's fixed" article read a bit rougher, as if the person usually doing the translation was on holiday.

Best regards,

Phil

This is all well and good, but when is the custom aircraft loadout update coming? I have been waiting for this since it was announced...

[Ahnkoo 226]

 I think that extra note about camos is really annoying... we can check them under customization... no need to double stuff...

Nothing about fps issues has been mentioned in the changelog but I hope it got fixed (or at least is better than before the update).

Same, my sens in the look camera is slow af now too, and when I try to use it in the binoculars, they get jerked up/down.

Feels like they roll these out without even testing them, and with 0 consideration for the 1,000s of people that were playing the game just fine before their so-called "patch".

I`m sad cuz you changed Privacy mode system at this update. It was absolutely better before, that can choose original fake name.
 I beg you please( ；∀；)

my misunderstanding of update content

[ElHornero 208]

I think some of controls fixes has created a new and very annoying bug...

I use a lot the "Mouse look" (I bind it to RMB) and also the "Binoculars"; but now I note the following behavior when combining them...

The Mouse Look activation invert instantly the angular height in binocular view.

The effect that you are seeing is created by pressing and unpressing the RMB (Mouse look activation).

 

Switching from Mouse Look to Binoculars is right now horrible and confusing... and specially impossible if your are looking to the sky searching for enemy planes.

Someone else found the same bug?
