<div class="IPBDescription">Play for more then 2 min before ######</div>Ok so I'm tired of reading posts that say bla bla this is jacked up I haven't played since build 140 and I quit after 2 minutes. There is only one reason that this would ever be a valid statement and that's your computer sucks.
As one who plays this game frequently I'd like to say its been a pleasure seeing it develop and while certain things need tweaking so far I can play for hours and enjoy every minute.

Just kidding. Wanted to get the chance to do media manipulation. Watch your words, famous people ;)
Anyway, I already saw the article by ns2hd about how max is working on a pretty low end monster, and I know he's trying to get the game running smoothly on it, and that's great.
Keep optimising, you're almost there.
as to maD maX's statement about people's computers being able to intake air via a fan mechanism which could be referred to as sucking(or maybe he's talking about how computer's that people use are often low specced). Yes, it is because they have bad computers, and there's not much excuse to have a terrible pc, then to complain when the game doesn't run well on it... what on earth am I talking about? Well, You could probably get ns2 running well on an $800 pc on max settings at a very nice fps... including EVERYTHING... here's my proof(gimme a bit, I'll edit this post later).
edit, well, I failed... oh well. Check out my attempt, then check out a more better done effort:

I'm actually confused by why your rig doesnt play ns2 very well konata. I have pretty much the same rig as yours but get 50-70 fps on a good server. Quite odd :(.
Asus P8Z68-V LX Mainboard ~ 100 bucks
Intel Core i5-2500K ~ 200 bucks
Kingston PC3-10600 DDR3-RAM Kit 8gb ~ 40 bucks
MSI Nvidia GeForce N460GTX (used) ~ 180 bucks
(Asus Xonar D1 ~ 60 bucks)
Before that I could barely play NS2 with 30 fps. 15 in late games with a lot of structures. 5-10 in battle.
Now I can play it with average 55-65 fps. 35-45 in very late games with a lot of structures and in battle. Even in battle never less than 25-30 fps. Still with 40-45 in early games without a lot of structures. And I am well under 1000 or 800 bucks. - And yes, everything is on, effects, higehst settings, etc.
(Just realized, it is worse on other maps than Summit.)
Btw. I love the sound in NS2. Even though sometimes it feels strange how it sounds like when something is happening far away, footsteps even around the corner seem too loud. But with my Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 250 Ohm (~ 150 bucks) everything sounds like sugar in my ears. (But this makes playing Dead Space almost impossible. Too scary...)

Agreed, especially fun when you get 3 gorges together and cloak attack the CC and win! :D

Asus P8Z68-V PRO

2x GTX570
80+ FPS :)

Lower your resolution and quit crying like a princess , this is a beta.
Honestly though, i haven't been able to play the last 3 patches as my computer is currently busted and im busy with my exams, we will see later if anything changed.
One strange lagspike i always had though was when i was playing as alien, coming from Vent to the old Marine Start, when i used to jump over the railing there (when coming out of vent, taking the corner to MS) i always suddenly dropped down to 10fps or something for a second, always.
Sure my rig is getting a bit older but that still shouldnt pose a problem, its still a fairly highend system.
I7 920 @ 3,8
6GB DDR3 1333Mhz 77720
Zotac GTX295
Asus P6T Deluxe v2
2x 500GB in Raid0
I think one of the main reasons NS2 doesnt work to well for me is because from what i tested it doesnt use the 2nd GPU in my 295.
When i force the settings to disable 1 gpu or to use both, it doesnt matter in NS2, i get exactly the same FPS.
So this means basically im running a single GTX260 as far as the game cares.
However when comparing the dualgpu performance of the 295 to a single 480 (which a friend has) there isnt that much difference so for me its still not worth upgrading until i can get a clear gain.
And seeing how i can still run everything released in the last year on max (-dx11) i dont see it as a worthy investment to upgrade just yet.
Noteworthy, my friend has a overclocked 480 with a 6core amd and 8gb of ram, his performances are comparable (somewhat better) to my system and his FPS are just as bad in NS2.
However, like i said, i haven't played for the last 3 patches so we will see once im done with my exams and my pc is fixed again :)
I trust in UWE on this one, im sure in the end performance will be fine on even lower end systems.
(yes i know i dont cap I, dont use ' for don't, haven't and such, no i dont care right now, have exams in 2 hours and stressing the ###### out, also forumposts arent exactly top priority in correct grammar for me.)
Dragon-Guard: you running 64 bit OS??
i noticed a big difference after switching, and i have your exact rig, and i average 30-60 fps. 75 being my max when staring at a blank wall. ( i recently upgraded to a 570 gtx, but see no fps difference, and believe me i looked for it)
OP: i agree. :)
+1 this ^
By sucks i meant completely inadequate blue screen of death type stuff.... thats worth being sad about
funny thing is it makes no diffrence in game play even with higher fps its still playable the same so please dont complain just cause you avg 40fps its playable either way
i just dont get how he gets edited for his post yet you guys can all be jerks to him and it's ok. forum admins a bit biased in my opinion... but whatever. can't control that.
back on OP- +1 LOVE
uhm... well... 4 years old pc, never any maintenance and forced downgrade of GFX card to something that's not even remembered or found on ebay anymore?
Are these (http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=111369&mode=threaded&pid=1804657) the tweaks you're talking about? Or can you point me to the ones you mean?
Don't see this as a complaint, I love playing NS2 and the past couple of patches have been an amazing improvement. But I've been racking my brain why I can't seem to get at least as good an FPS rate as NS2HD get with his 460 (I think?) with my GTX560ti. (Also bought almost exclusively for NS2 btw :D) When fights get hectic it's not uncommon to drop below 15 or even 10 fps.
So far I've suspected it might be my cpu (only a Phenom X2 555) but maybe some tweaks could help.

I made a small joke, stop infiltrating this thread with performance discussions.

Yeah...you saw it. Sorry, I am not so familiar with the dynamics of internet-discussions. Shame on me.

the difference is attitude / delivery :)
with this in mind, i dont think agreeing that its user error is being a jerk. especially when help is offered to troubleshoot his issue - since i'm in a particularly relevant position to do so considering we have the exact same rig. (cant speak for mobo tho)
pm me i might be able to help!
on topic: we need more people posting like the OP :-D
When it comes to running NS2 more expensive comp =/= faster fps, since I imagine alot of the faults have to deal with conflicts and compatibility rather then lack of horsepower .

being a ###### is being a ######... no matter the delivery. add a smiley and you're still being a jerk. and for the most part people were saying user error just to talk ###### and you knew it and kept it up. and saying +user error is in no way troubleshooting. man up to what you say, if you can't do it online....what are you like in person? i'll prob be editted for this... but i'll just move on and stop talking now.
