Moar LUA for the LUA God.
Is that after a 2 hour long game culminates in an epic battle between 470 ARCs against 620 Bombarding whips while marine and alien alike cheer from the sideline? Or is that a common and frequently occuring 45 fps dip?
If its the latter, then there is probably some unique peculiarity causing it. There are people with far worse rigs than yours getting impeccable performance.
Also, probably only dips that low in situations wheres there whips/crags/tons of players/exos all in 1 spot.
The game shouldn't be allocating that much. There is something wrong there.
It definitely could be when viewing or in the area of whips or other intensive CPU items.
I want to love this game so bad but I can't play because the performance issues (especially considering its a FPS and they require a higher framerate for playability). I generally start the game between 40-60 fps and within 10 minutes im consistently near 35-40. No matter what by the mid-end of the game its 30 or lower.
There is CLEARLY an issue with the game and CPU usage. Its not just bad, there is some big flaw there. I respect the hell out all the programmers but its not the features and balance that are causing most people to leave your game; it is the horrid performance. For months and months since beta you have stated you will be working on this. I'm not trying to be a jerk but I have noticed little to no performance improvements since that time. The odd thing is many people I know have seen performance increases despite having worse rigs. Seems like a messy situation UWE. I wish you the best luck and I will play your wonderful game more when you resolve this massive issue.
Sorry for the rant, I am just frustrated and really really want to enjoy playing this game. One love
If you really bought your pc for gaming, then you should have bought a k-series for overclocking.
I hit 1.5 gbs vram sometimes at 1080p. This guy is playing with 1440p. He very well could be hitting 2gbs at times.
I don't know how to phrase this any differently. Do you understand my point or are you just trying to start an argument? I feel like nothing warrants NS2 requiring that much out of a CPU when NO other game in the world requires it. LMK if you misunderstood anything else. I love UWE and want to play this game.
I play at 1920x1200 and it filled up my 2GB on my GTX670. What I'm saying is that there is something inherently wrong with the game to use that much memory.
I made a thread about it because I am curious.
I remember on the 1055t i had that ran 2.8ghz it was real rough trying to play this game in 760p, all low settings, gtx 560, 40fps with some dips. Put the same gtx 560 on a new 3770k build and now i can go all the way up to 1600x900 resolution, all settings off/low, and pull 100fps on a 144hz monitor. Makes me think the multithreading support isnt there, or is not very good on this engine. But the higher your core clock the better you'll do, see if you can get that i5 up to 3.2'ish. if it's the locked i5 that's... just gonna limit you
shoulda gone amd brev
Planetside 2 is also CPU bound. I happen to know this because I bought my new PC specifically to play PS2 and NS2, and I did my research beforehand to find out what kind of a rig I needed to get the performance I wanted. And that research told me pretty quickly: buy as much CPU speed as you possibly can... the more, the better.
Visual settings aren't the only thing. Your rig is more than sufficient to get good performance from NS2 in the visual department, but that's not all that's going on. NS2's gameplay logic is as demanding as its graphics processing, far more so than most other games out there - including those that are well-known as requiring "high performance", because those games only tax the graphics card.
No other game in the world does what NS2 does.
It's unfortunate that the game plays so poorly on leading edge hardware from two years ago. But the good news is that in another year or two nobody will care.
Please. You keep listing console games. Try Planetside 2.
The witcher 2 and metro 2033 are widely known as the most graphic intensive and aesthetically good games ever released, both SP. Modding crysis 1-2 or the fallout series with high res textures and ENB is almost the same thing and they're both SP.
I get that you have to UWE drone because of your badge but please, stop spreading lies about other games and SP/MP differences, max payne 3 is also arguably up there in graphics and no one plays that for its MP even tho it was alright.
NS2 runs like arse for 99% of people because they don't OC their CPU and when they do, they turn everything high especially features like occlusion and their GPU gets dumped on because they aren't 7970 master race.
Riiight. Show me the double-blind test results and then we can continue this discussion.
Yeah, I really want AMD's crap driver support. My last card was a 5850 and while the hardware was great, I don't think I'll ever go back to AMD after experiencing modern nvidia driver support.
