Issues fixed
Poor performance on Nvidia cards, no SlI, SGSSAA or Nvidia HBAO support
- Despite using the same executable, Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm have separate Nvidia profiles. Because of this the nearly empty Rising Storm profile is always chosen.
Use Nvidia Profile Inspector[14][15] |

Microstuttering
- Microstuttering of camera view and player animations, similar to that caused by poor online connection. This is due to the interference of Microsoft multimedia drivers with connection to Red Orchestra servers.
Microstuttering[16] |

Find and edit "PoolSize" to equal the amount of available memory. |
Set priority to Low or Bellow Normal in Task Manager[17] |

Disappearing/flickering graphical elements
- An issue with object culling may cause objects, terrain, particle effects and even the sky to disappear or start flickering, usually after playing for a certain amount of time or alt-tabbing.
Disable Umbra Culling[18] |
