Update causing heavy lag?!

SeraphC · 2013-02-02, 03:30 PM

Just finished downloading, played for half an hour. It's unbearable, getting less than 10 fps at times. Slide show style.

Anyone experiencing this as well? Is this a mistake on their part or are my drivers outdated or something along those lines?
I know there's an in game message saying they are aware of it, good to know, but yeah, that doesn't do much for me.

If they are aware of it then it's most probably on their end. Just wait it out.
It's not the first time that there has been "lag" after an update.

I'm having serious problems. I have massive frame loss and twice the game has frozen completely leading to the "Planetside 2.exe has stopped working" error which I haven't seen since very early beta.

Prior to today's patch I hadn't had a single problem since release and enjoyed very smooth frame rates and bug free sessions

it's SOE, they have the midus touch... but instead of turning to gold it turns to shit :P

*patch notes* fixed performance issues
*in game* /facepalm

I get arond 25 FPS in big fights, even worse than before...

Yeah I seem to have lower FPS across the board. I have less FPS when I first login to the Warpgate, and in any fights. Rather strange optimization patch, my GTX 680 isn't liking it.

We are investigating some different frame rate problems (hiccups, stuttering, lag, whever you would like to call it) right now.

[ well, technically I'm posting on the forums while I'm compiling a change to help track down one of the issues, but I think you get the idea ]

Yup, I get really poor performance myself at ceres hydrophonics or whatever that was called. Especially when I look towards crown.

At times turns into slideshow of epic proportions.

ShadetheDruid · 2013-02-02, 04:05 PM

I've had one crash and a few patches of low FPS as well. Nothing super serious (at least for me), but it's definitely worse than before.

Electrofreak · 2013-02-02, 04:19 PM

I'm sure part of the issue is the umpteen-bazillion people logging in to try out the new patch.

Remember, PS2 is usually cpu bound and more players and objects means more work on the cpu.

Palerion · 2013-02-02, 04:35 PM

Not only this but my rendering seems worse than before personally. Don't know what's up with it, but people flash in front of me randomly and disappear while I'm aiming at them.

Sunrock · 2013-02-02, 04:39 PM

I have the same FPS as before the patch. But I do experience lag. When I say lag I really mean lag and not something else, that is unstable latency between client and server.

Sir B Smythe · 2013-02-02, 04:44 PM

Gone from 40 fps to 15, unplayable. What a farce!

Rator · 2013-02-02, 04:44 PM

Same problem here, got avg. 40-50 FPS during the game, But if i move to more crowded areas I experience drops to 3 FPS but only for Millisecs every 1-2 Secs. (Monitored via Ingame FPS screen on alt+f) For me its unplayable in the actual state.

Glad to see the Devs are already working on it, and that it gets commmunicated to us, but i hope we'll get more infos how long it may take, till we see a Fix
