I am just curious about whether if there are people who doesn't lag in 64p Titan mode, especially when two Titans get close to each other with both shields down and maybe ten sentries setup in each titan.

It lags a lot when titans are close because on almost every server you'll find noobs that spam the titan shields with the AA guns on top... grr.

I only lag like that when I'm in the hanger. Otherwise I never lag in titan.

Titan mode is only supported up to 48 players, that was admitted early in release of 2142, so any player ratio above that is likely to be unstable from jump. Dice added the ability to have Titans that dont move to make servers a little more stable, helped in a minor way, but good luck finding a server with that option.

But even with 48, on medium settings it lags to crap for me too. My buddy Choda_Boy has a dual core, and his game runs silky smooth, with minor lags here or there, but very few and far between. I myself will be installing my new processor here in the next couple of days, which is also a dual core, so we will see what happens. I will post an update after its all set in.

My old comp lagged left right and center on any titan map, my new pc runs fine on any.

I'm fine, I normally get around 70 FPS on a moving titan server.

Wow, I don't get 70 FPS even when looking at sky. Titan lag is a CPU/RAM issue. I found that tune down geometry/texture/terrain helps. Could you specify what CPU you are using? 6400+?

Ugh. No wonder titan lag has been 10x worse after I got my new graphics card. I don't think a Pentium D can run titan mode smoothly even on medium. Ground combat on both titan and conquest servers runs smoothly except for orbital strikes and whenever lots of effects are there.

Pentium D, runs OK for Crysis on low (and high physics) and good for COD4, but couldn't handle 64p Titan. Actually, Pentium D runs not that bad for multi-thread applications, but Battlefield 2142 runs it like Pentium 4.

I don't get titan lag normally. I do get some on servers with really high ping though (like 200)

I don't lag in titan. Moving titan server, AA titan guns spamming, and I still get 100 max FPS. :thumbsup:

and you have a 1 kd ratio. buhhh

yeah i dont even bother playing titan with any FUN amount of players. when on a busy titan i be getting 15-20fps which is the reason i dont play it much.

just so nobody suffers the same fate. dont get a computer with a Pentium D 805 @2.66Ghz with 833Mhz FSB UNLESS you can overclock it and increase your FSB speed which apparently is more important when it comes to games, dont ask me why.

I played with H4yd3n and I assure you that he's very skilled. He played with equally skilled players and owns average players in pub servers. He doesn't have anything to prove and he doesn't need to.

BTW, there are two solutions to your problem:

1. Cheaper solution: Get an cheap LGA775 mobo and an E2160 for ~$120 during Memorial Day sale.

2. Expensive solution: spend at least $500 more to get a Q6600 and PCI-e 2.0 mobo.

Titan Lag is pure CPU issues. Furthermore, make sure your graphics settings are optimised for your card/CPU combo.

It's no use putting on medium with a dual 8800GT, you are putting more load on the CPU (AFAIK).

Back to the fact that I have a 1 kd ratio...great. Shall I repeat what I just typed in the clans thread? This was my first FPS, and that is why when I first played the game I would get a crappy kd ratio. As a matter of fact, if you want me to, I will make a new character and show you a great kd ratio. I would have done this a long time ago if it werent for the fact that I like my soldiers name, and I have too many buddies to go through 1 by 1 and send a request to all over again.


Thanks Diode. :)

sure i think pretty much everybody has probably made another profile at one point or another

i would have been really happy to have a higher end computer and be able to play on any kind of server i wanted with good performance from the beginning of playing this game caus as of now im generally a bit limited to 32 person servers i mean i can go on higher population conquest but they will generally get pretty darn low fps unless im lucky. 40-50 is good but then dropping below 30-25 you can PLAY but you cant PWN it starts to get difficult. REally though all id need is just a steady 60-70fps i dont think anything more than that is going to help you much. cause usually ill play the best getting consistent 50fps on smaller servers you can headshot people easier and stuff and things just run smoothly the way one would like.
