Title says it all.
Everything is perfect and smooth until I see another player.
Be it skulk or marine my FPS dies the second they come on screen.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Edit: Sorry I didn't post this on the help section, haven't been on the forums in quite a while.

    Have you been able to play the game in the past normally?

    Somewhat, I've never had this specific problem before until recently.

    Well the fps should drop when more elements enter the scene because it's more to be rendered but it shouldn't be a significant drop... Unless your GPU is already strained. Try lowering settings and maybe even the game resolution.

    The specs man! Why am I not seeing them. Also, what kind of FPS are we talking about when you say die?

    i've got a weird FPS thing too

    Ready Room 100fps no problems.

    In game, no players, looking at a wall that is facing the edge of the map (so assuming its not rendering anything except the wall) 40-60fps.

    Its like the game rules each away the performance.

    Have you tried verifying your game files? Maybe a mis-downloaded LUA file is acting up or something?

    Try the wireframe-mode (its in the wiki) to check it isn't rendering anything behind that wall. Also, check and see what r_stats says about the num of primitives drawn, compared to for example the readyroom.

    My FPS takes a nosedive as soon as I engage enemies. I can see them and everything will be just fine. I'll be a skulk bounding across the room, see 3 marines a few meters away, move to engage and as soon as I get within range, BAM, sub 15 FPS. Its not a recent thing though, its been like that since alpha.

    Could you explain the wireframe-mode and the problems around this issue a bit more !?

    I have the same problem as the threads author having huge differences beetween ready room and ingame fps.
