9.0 update came out today. unfortunately it is having massive issues, ranging from the current 10-15fps drop due to the new "HD" graphics, and the new crash bug, which is triggered by some sort of environmental problem. The historic battles are just about impossible to get into, i timed out 3 times after a max 5 minute wait.(it kicks you after 5 minutes has passed) Also, during historic mode, it forces you to purchase gold ammo, using gold if you have it or silver if not, however it replaces the gold if you dont use it. Just remember it will auto switch to the next ammo type if u run out and dont notice.
on the plus side, the new tanks do look more detailed, if not somewhat fuzzy/grainy. The new garage is a definite warm welcome. The sound changes when u are in sniper mode, and the explosions look and sound different.
I have a gtx690, i used to get around a solid 55-60 fps on max settings during the 8.11. I now get 28-34fps with max settings, lowering the settings to medium gave me 40fps, but the tanks and environment just looks hideous. I know graphics arent everything, but when it looked great before, and has forced me to change my settings drastically to compensate, it really rubs me wrong.
