Do I have a low framerate????

[Enygma]

25 - 28 on average, with a drop to 18 - 22 in a close range fight.

This is probably the only fps where I can let out a whole clip and sometimes not kill somebody at close range. Headshots up close arent much of a possibility if the other guy's shooting back. I took to playing recon cause of that.

Recently I've been noticing that if you just run around somebody in this game, they'll likely miss enough that they have to reload. Now could it be that most people have even crappier framerates? I'm starting to miss cstrike where you either put 2 in the cranium or died in an eyeblink.

Or maybe people just aren't as...sharp in BF2142???

(type renderer.drawfps 1 in console)

Re: Do I have a low framerate????

yes i would say you have a low frame rate. Have you tried lowering some settings?

Re: Do I have a low framerate????

Do you think you have a low framerate? That's all that really matters.

Some people think 60+ is smooth, others can play at like 20, I have a friend who plays on a Celeron + integrated, he can't figure out why I complain when my FPS goes down to 25.

Re: Do I have a low framerate????

I just take my AA off and my frame goes up 20+. Its not as good looking, but saves me some frames.

Ganglar, are you using the computer in your profile for 2142? If so I'm surprised you don't get more than 20+ FPS.

Re: Do I have a low framerate????

I think he means, that the frame rate increases by 20+ :p

Re: Do I have a low framerate????

First of all, this should of been posted in the support section.

Anyway, what's the specs of your pc? and what are your settings?

Not everyone has crap framerates, it all depends on the two above points.

Oh lol yeah of course *slaps forehead*

Mind to post your specs OP?

Re: Do I have a low framerate????

It's subjective, I've played 2142 and BF2 at around 15 - 20 FPS constant. Didn't have any problem.

mine is like 40-60 but when an orbital strike is going on I have some stutter issues (but my pc isn't Ghetto like yours)

Re: Do I have a low framerate????

you cant play to your potential with low framerates though framerate is not everything you also need to consider your connection to the server and possibly your ping. Every server is different. as far as people having low framerates there are lots of different people. you have some people with really good computers that are just straight up not good because they are dumb and wont be able to change thier situation, then you have good players on good computers that totally pwn.

as far as people saying "i didnt have any problems" thats all up for debate as to what "problems" actually is. for them it might be that they can play ok and pull a weak 2kd most of the time while with someone else they want to be the best wherever they go. everyone is different.

from experience i went from a dell dimension 5150 and getting decent 30-60fps on 32 player server but crap 15-35 on large 60 player servers i couldnt really play my best on higher population servers but could do pretty good on smaller servers but then i got the comp i have now (see my system) and run 100fps anywhere pretty much you will get a very eye opening performance boost on higher population servers. having high fps WILL help you a certain amount especially in close range dense firefights you can actually gracefully control what you are doing instead of trying to compensate for fps all the time.

ultimately though its like taking roids i guess. if you are clever and skilled on a bad computer its simply going to boost your performance maybe 25% you will survive in some situations where you would normally have died.

Re: Do I have a low framerate????

You always want your frame rate over 60 at the minimum if possible. Unless your internet connection or processor can make up for your graphic card's suckage and you won't lag if your rate goes below 60.

High Resolution and High Settings look sick, but not everyone's PC can play them without lag.

Re: Do I have a low framerate????

Obviously the higher the fps the better, but I honestly don't think the human eye can differentiate anything over 25 fps. I have everything maxed out and get 100 fps, down to 60 on orbital.

You wont see it, but you will definately feel the difference. With higher fps you get better hit detection.

Re: Do I have a low framerate????

Hearing these high frame rates from some of you is making me sick. I realize now why I get killed all the time (other than my normal suckage).

On a 32-man server with about 31 ping, I average between 20-30 fps. I can play ok at that rate, but it too frequently drops below 20, and that's when I usually die. It's almost impossible to aim well at that point.

Me thinks I need to upgrade.
