FPS still terrible.

Assist · 2013-03-15, 10:34 AM

So I tried last night for about 2 hours to fix my FPS. The best luck I had was attempting to use Ultra settings, which put me around 80 FPS at the warpgate but I was still tanking to below 25 in fights against just 'squads'. I managed to hit 9 FPS at an Amp Station, I almost felt like that was an accomplishment.
I don't know what the hotfix actually changed, but it didn't make it any better for me.
I've installed/reinstalled every driver I can think of and I attempted to use the GeForce Experience thinger but that just cranked up every setting possible. Really hope they put more of an effort into fixing the performance of the game. No point in having a gorgeous game if it's near unplayable with those settings.

I've not normally suffered many problems with FPS drop offs with previous patches, but several times it dropped to 20-23FPS last night, especially when there were a lot of vehicles around. Starts to make life difficult.

FPS bombed with the latest GU. And with the hotfix, it was said to make stuff even worse.

Is everyone still having fps-problems? Seems like the hotfix fixed my fps. BUT. Now there is a lot of stuttering. Playing in a large battle, I have a very stable 28-30fps, but because of this new stuttering, it feels like 10-15 fps. That's what makes this game at the moment unplayable for me. Before gu4 and hotfix, I had the same around 30fps, but it wasn't as stable. But it was much smoother, so I could still aim and shoot people quite easily.

Flying is even worse. If I fly over a base that has some players, the stutter makes it totally impossible to aim and even the basic flying is hard.

This seems much worse on Indar. I had some playtime on Esamir today and while fps acted pretty much the same as on Indar, there wasn't much stutter.

I have no FPS issues. However, I do have 32GB of RAM. Perhaps all in this thread should be posting their stats?

camycamera · 2013-03-15, 08:06 PM

it used to be fine, hell i even tried ultra + gpu physics for some time and my pc was running 30 fps on it....

then after a while i had turned all of that off for obvious reasons, and left it on high and i was getting below 30 fps in fights that were big in amp stations, but i NEVER used to get THAT low FPS EVER, espesially in an AMP station before the patch

World turmoil is a known issue too but sometimes they need to be reminded when it's not solved!

Higby posted that the hotfix deployed should fix some of the FPS issues that started with GU04. Just making sure it's known that it's not fixed for most of us still and I don't think it hurts to make sure they know it! Performance of the game is a major a reason quite a few people are not playing right now, more than enough to warrant a more thorough look at the issue.

Possibly memory leak issue. 32GB of RAM doesn't matter because the game is 32 bit and limited to using 2GB I think.

No its 4GB. Planetside is large address aware.

FPS are still bad for me. 30 FPS in crowded areas with my i52500k @4,4Ghz
I mean wtf? I wonder how all the people with smaller CPUs feel...

Emperor Newt · 2013-03-16, 05:59 AM

FPS are the same for me. Only issue I have is that my weapons stop doing damage when too many people are around.

*edit*
dafuq! Only played a little yesterday. Now after I logged in my fps are cut in half, if not more. In a warpgate with a few people I used to have around 50+ fps, now I am down to 20 to 15. In small to medium engagements I used to be around 30 fps. Now I am down to 15. Large engagements? No chance. Below 10 fps now.
Also loading stuttering increased by a lot.

That in strong companionship with the no damage/desync bug... Best double xp weekend ever.

Got around 17 FPS 2 days ago in a big fight in a biolab. I played yesterday and it felt a little bit better, but still shit.

No one is talking about their settings.

I use more or less medium settings and have good FPS.
