Player Models

[Jimmy42000]

I noticed when i have alot of players on my screen my fps tends to drop. Is there any way of switching out the players models with less detailed versions? Or is this against the rules? I'd assume it would be, but figured id ask.

Re: Player Models

yeah wat settings r u playing on?

lowering geometry also lowers Level Of Detail (LOD) regarding distance, so as things get farther away...they become less detailed.

u can also use Rivatuner to lower ur LOD but ive tried it b4 and t hings turn into blocks if u lower it too much.


(oh whoops i think for Rivatuner, u have to increase the value of LOD to make it less detailed)

Re: Player Models

Lowest settings on all, with medium on a couple. But what i meant was more of a block-guy. (like rivatuner? but i dont want everything that way)

Re: Player Models

What are your pc specs? Same thing happens to me. I lag like hell during firefights, artillery, etc. Even during regular running around in Gulf of Oman and Strike at Karkand I lag. I dont know what your computer specs are but my cpu bottlenecks because it cannot choose which info. to take from both gpus. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

you wouldnt think that I lag by looking at my pc specs (signature) but hell, I do.

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2.3GHz
1GB RAM
GeForce 7600GT

By the recommended specs (Half my specs) i thought id be running the game on high, i run on ALL LOW settings besides draw distance and lag, it pisses me off.

@Badsubby
About your bottleneck, it may be your processor being a little slow for both SLI and a PhysX card.

Re: Player Models

So everyone says, but it doesnt... I can play single player on all high, just not mutiplayer.
But yet i can play FEAR (Way higher specs then BF2) online on almost all high settings.

You also have an extra gig of ram, my ram is only DDR400, pretty old. But either way i can play it on med/high offline, just not online. Pretty weird, first thing that came to mind was my internet connection limiting me, but after checking how much bandwith BF2 uses, it wasnt even close my max speed. So idk...

Re: Player Models

I dont know whats going on about the bottleneck. How can this guy play at all high with a 7800 gt?

That seems like it must be network related, not your PC. If it was your PC it would affect SP too. Are using wireless LAN? How fast is your internet connection?
