First, today Microsoft released WDDM 1.2 driver through automated update in Windows 7. As primary cause for slow scrolling at maximum zoom out level was bad WDDM 1.1 now, with newer version, this problem has gone. You may enable red borders again without fear of sluggish performance. Also this solved similar issues in other games which are using 2D vectors.
Second, what is the latest patch? I read in other thread some user is reporting 1.01d version. I only have 1.01 patch installed. Am I missing something? Also I cannot find link for AJE patch, I wonder where is it?

Thanks for the tip, Emx77.
But on the list of my updates of today I do not find any explicit reference to WDDM...(only the usual cryptic microsoft gibberish...) Is there a way to know the WDDM version one has installed ?

@Soulstrider - Thank you!

Go to: Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update\View update history
Here is the log for my system:

When I check via dxdiag (DirectX Diagnostic Tool) it still says WDDM 1.1. However, now there is no difference in scrolling speed regardless of red borders. Obviously, WDDM 1.2 is installed but for unknown reason it is not listed in dxdiag.

Regarding patch, what is the difference between 1.01 and 1.01d? I cannot find any change log history. Have you additionally tuned battle system or it is same as in 1.01?

Thanks. Nothing of the sort on my system...
Probably because my GC is AMD, not nVidia.
Thanks

Beta patch has several DB and code improvements. Changelog will for sure be released with the official patch.
