Degraded performance following 1.2

[TokenBrit]

Hi everyone,
just updated to 1.2 using the incremental patch and I have suffered a serious performance drop. Previously my fps would be the high side of 40(quite playable for me). Now it has dropped to almost always below 20(not playable at all). Does anybody else have this problem, or is it just me?
I am running an x800xl on Omegas 3.8.205

Re: Degraded performance following 1.2

OK, I came to this boards searching for a solution to what you are talking about, I installed the new 1.2 patch and now this game has a performance drop like never before.

Specs:

AMD 3.0
1GB RAM
Nvidia GFORCE 6600 GT

Re: Degraded performance following 1.2

Ive certainly noticed an increased loading time. It takes me almost twice as long now to load a game, before I was usually first in.

AMD 3700 San Diego
2 GB Corsair XMS3200XLL
ASus A8N-E
ATI X850XT PCI-Ex 256 MB
SB Audigy 2 ZS

so i doubt its my PC

Re: Degraded performance following 1.2

Many gamers have reported improved performance with a fresh install of BF2 and the 1.2 patch over simply installing the patch.

All good here with a slight increase in fps & loading times, very strange to hear about these so called performance decreases, i personally know 10 players with differing rigs from med to high specs & they are all very happy with the patch & performance.

Re: Degraded performance following 1.2

Performance problems seems limited to 64 player servers for me. I tryed troubleshooting hte problem on my end then when I booted into single player mode and the game worked fine. So my conclusion was that somehow the online performance was laggin severely, even on servers with my ping as low as 26.

I tried loading into servers with 40 max players, and 32 max players and performance was fine. So I think the server side of the 64 player servers got borked with 1.2 or just takes more cpu power to run and the servers are still limited to the cpu they used on 1.12. For now I'll play on smaller maps or servers with less people. Can't stand the framerates bouncing all over the place.
