What happened to performance in 216?

Niklasdiver · August 2012

<div class="IPBDescription">It has become unplayable for me.</div>I used to have around 60 fps early game, but now every time i start i get around 45, and later i even drop below 15-10 fps on a gtx580, i7 950 3.07ghz 8gb ram.

Welcome to the sub15fps club. My performance actually gotten a little better, still 7fps in combat.

Not to say it's surprising. I could play in the shattered horizon closed beta but it became unplayable when it released.

LXJ · August 2012

Definitely a performance drop on my end. Don't know why.

Bicsum · August 2012

Runs much smoother here.

Not necessarily because of the FPS, but the hitches are gone, and so 30 FPS still feel somewhat fluid.

Zek · August 2012

Feels fine to me. Full Screen Windowed kills my FPS though.

Wheeee · August 2012

game feels much much smoother for me. they did a great job on the performance.

Vaelkyri · August 2012

When its running good its running better, when its running bad its about as bad as it can get.

Cr4zyb4st4rd · August 2012

My performance seems better early game, but late game it seems to drop more than it used to and stutters like hell at the start of a firefight.

Mucho improvement here. i5 2500k (3ghz OC'ed to 4.5) 560 TI video card.

OP your processor is very easy to overclock, might wanna bump it up a notch.

CobraCommander · August 2012

It has been laggy lately, but this time in maps where I normally don't get lag, I get a ton of lag leaping into a marine base in the late game. I die instantly since it lags to hell.

Nuxra · August 2012

Little better for me, though I'm still at 15-20fps (down to 6fps at times) on a fairly strong computer.

Chuck_Norris · August 2012

FPS in this build really went down with this build 216. I used to have 60fps in the beginning and 40fps in late game. Now its always below 40fp, sometimes 20fps.

Could the developers reading this please adress the performance issues?

I got a i5-2400 with an ATI 6850, Samsung 830 SSD and 10 GB Ram. I'm assuming you are not developing for a computing machine in the future, UWE?

crypt · August 2012

Overall the game feels smoother for me as well, big teamfights are still a huge problem through.

[AwE]Sentinel · August 2012

The former build replaced constant mega lag spikes with constant annyoing small lag that made it difficult to hit something. And despite of many ppl who have better performance, this build is a backstep for me.

On docking I had a long time around 20 (early game) to 6-12 fps (fights and late game) and 5-10secs were my fps dropped to 0.3 and I had a freeze-frame = certain death cause every1 else didn't had the same problem. The last patch improved it up to 19-40 fps but as described above it didn't feel much better but somehow a bit better anyways. BUT now my fps in the RR decreased from 80-90 to 50-55 fps!? And even in early game I am back to mega lag spikes causing fps to drop to 4.6-6 fps! I feel like I got punched in the face! I expected small increses and now I'm back to horrible.

It is frustrating, I feel like I have to play with a guy behind me that knocks me out randomly with a club or that other ppl have like 90fps more than me. Can't we all have the same lag? ;) (I am still happy for the people with improvements and I now that they can't optimize it equally for everyone due to different computers, but it is soooooo frustrating)

I have a massive buff to performance now... I dont even go below 50 fps. Most of the time my game is 60-80fps

Could you post your other components as well?

My performance dropped a lot to..

Sure.. it doesn't matter though any peice of ###### video card can run this game.

no_idea · August 2012

Hopefully UWE is even ABLE to do a proper performance tuning for all the Systems out there. Somehow I doubt that:( But fingers crossed!
I also had in the last build something <15fps as soon as combat breaks out.surprisingly it ran smoother as soon as I join the alien side.

I still have to test the current build.

replicate · August 2012

Running much better for me all around. 40-60fps early game, 20-30 late (usually above 30 with the occasional dip). Major hitches are gone, feels much more fluid. I have vsync forced on (adaptive) in my nvidia control panel, but I've got to say that it doesn't "feel" like it's on... I don't know, might just be me. Over all, very happy with the new build (at least in terms of performance).

Yeah, same here. Game is better in general, except the huge brawls.

Kouji_San · August 2012

I've kept an eye on the server performance mostly and the big fish in town (i5/i7 @ 4+Ghz) are able to keep their server tickrates at a constant 30 with small dips to 28 maybe 26. This is a huge improvement over previous builds. But the server specs on these beasts is of course way too high to set the standard.

The biggest issue still, is the choke which literally shoots up to 40%-60% in medium fights and up to 80%-100% even, during bigger "endgame" fights. If they can get the bandwidth usage down, which matso is working on vigorously, it would be awesome.

Yuuki · August 2012

Improvements during the last 5 mouth are modest.

Ok.. maybe it's not the same map (summit vs tram I think).

Strange. Our performance stats monitoring is showing a net increase in 216 over 215.

Looking into it.

Kouji_San · August 2012

Heh the funny thing about that frametime log is that we can exactly see where you died or were in the readyroom due to the high FPS spikes. What kind of rig are you running?

Raza. · August 2012

My fps haven't changed much, but now I'm getting a lot of hitches and micro-stutters.

i5 4.4GHz

This march build seems quite good, the one i did just before doesn't look so nice.

Aeydon · August 2012

When I'm running around the map and not in combat I average 30fps. But when I'm in combat it drops
below 20fps which impacts my ability to play effectively.

Even with all my visual settings on low I get horrible frame rate,
before and still on the current build.

Locklear · August 2012

About the same for me. The start of the game seemed promising at 75fps. But it quickly got worse within 10 minutes.

ScardyBob · August 2012

From some Fraps benchmarking, I seem to be getting about a 1fps drop from my B215 to B216 average, though its easily within the margin of error. At best, that suggests essentially no change in performance for me.

Doppy · August 2012

Definitely smoother for me. It was the first thing I noticed.

What happened to performance in 216?
