That last patch did some major damage. Hot fix ...hot fix.. who's working the weekend!

Higby broadcasted last night in-game to change render distance in your Useroptions.ini file to temp fix FPS issues until they can patch. He also said they think the issues are related to tanks specifically and asked that players limit the use of tanks to help everyone's FPS.

EDIT: Just found this stickied beta forum thread too: FPS Performance Issues 09.21.2012 Patch

Lot of posts in there but I did see one post by Hackney about this being a bug and they are looking into it. Not to mention Smed all over Twitter saying they are working on it and it is a bug from latest patch.

Yes, there's definitely something wrong (still) ..... had'nt seen the Higby thing about work-arounds, so I'm using the vanilla uneditted useroptions.ini

We know there still are problems, but the hot-fix was to address the immediate problems.

I haven't yet... I'll check it out in a few.... I really didn't have too many FPS issues last night myself. Perhaps in heavy populated area with a bunch of vehicles it would dip a bit. Is that what is being fixed?

EDIT: Just found your post on beta forums about it: Tank Performance Issues... *Thank you SOE Post Tracker

CyclesMcHurtz There was a bug introduced that caused some of the simulations to do three or four times the work they should have.

Why do people refer to low frame rates as "lag"? Back in the day lag meant latency problems with your connection to the server.

Oh it existed, just wasn't as easy to get to as it is today.

Lag and Low-FPS are two entirely separate issues, and describing one as the other won't help people solve their problems.

Words have definitions for a reason.

**CyclesMcHurtz** · 2012-09-24, 12:22 PM

Lag isn't a very precise word in this case, so extra information always helps. After reading the rest of the posts it looks like you had a drop in your fps in large battles (which everyone suffered to some extent) - and the patches over the weekend should have patched that back up to more normal performance.

The important thing is to be descriptive - "In big battles, there's a bunch of frame lag" is easier to figure out than just saying "Mother of Pearl, the lag!" - context is everything! 'Lag' covers too many things to be helpful on it's own.

After the past few patches i have seen immense performance increase. Instead of 5 FPS in a bio lab battle. It is 15-20 frames. So keep up the good work and i may beable to turn my resolution onto highest. I'm even surprised its playable on my laptop.
