worse framerate after 1.2

[kingdomwinds]

I was on a 64 sharqi map and my frame rate went down to 24fps in certain areas of the map. This has never happened before 1.2 but i think they deoptimized the performance. It seems impossible to get good fps in bf2. I really hoped that DICE actualy meant a "peformance gain found in static mesh rendering" Obviously not. I did not notice any gain rather I get a performance loss.

What kind of monster of a pc do i need to let bf2 well? I always seem to get avg of 40-50 on all maps at 1280x1024 all high. After the patch fps seems more erratic and drops alot

Re: worse framerate after 1.2

you have a better system than mine and i run at the same settings and mine never goes below say 38fps

make sure your system is clean of any spyware, check your hardrive to see if it needs defragmening and turn of all unesscary programs in the background

I'm seeing this same problem as well and only thing I see causing it is playing on 64 players servers. I have cable with 8mb downstream and BF2 has always played beatifully.

Since 1.2 playing on 64 players servesr, full or not, regardless of ping, has been awful. Playing offline, or on 40 player or less servers is fine, not sure why the large servers are freaking out but it's happening for other as well.

Re: worse framerate after 1.2

i know it is not my pc. I get high framerate when there is not much action like 99fps. But when there are a bunch of ppl on screen and killings going on, fps dips down to 29 or lower. I just oced my vid card to 500/1260 and it has improved the minimun fps. It does not go below 30fps often now but 30 still sucks ass. It is not as fluid as 50-60.

I really think DICE are a bunch of idiots for not being able to optimize the engine. Lol they did not even fix the red/blue name bug, metallic sandbags, and many more bugs. All they changed was gameplay in patch 1.2.

Re: worse framerate after 1.2

I'm not sure what changed, but I went online to play on a 64 players server today and went through 3 maps with no performance issues to speak of. Didn't change anything since last night but it looks like the lag I was experiencing is gone. No idea why, but glad it's back to clean fluid gameplay.

CORRECTION: I changed my Anti Aliasing from 4x to 2x and I've seen a major improvment. Could be just a coincidence though.

The patch is awesome btw, all the complaints I see are way off reality, saying balance is totally, off takes not skill, love the added lethality of support weapons, seems like the mounted machine guns on humvees and such are better too, thank god. Was sniping someone in a humvee at pretty close range and between shots he was able to turn find me and fire and kill me before I could get another shot off. What nice to see those things be useful.

Re: worse framerate after 1.2

I think we're complaining mostly about performance issues with the new patch..most of my firends with killer machines seem to love the game

Re: worse framerate after 1.2

Hm, The patch totally killed my performance. I used to get 15-25 fps in a 16 server. Now I can't even play by myself and it is below 1 FPS.... I tried updating PB and still nothing, I guess I should just try a reinstall...

Re: worse framerate after 1.2

Ive found a framerate increase after this patch and for me it seems to lower the usage of ram. I find I can now turn settings up a bit higher and have less problems with stuttering. My friend has also found the same thing. Try clearing out the shader cache, download a new display driver the 82.12's are pretty good seem to be the fastest I can find, how ever the 77.77's are also really good. Try downloading the latest chipset drivers also. But otherwise I think this patch is amazing, more balanced, and ive found higher performance. I do not lag below 35 fps unless im in an arty strike, everything is set to high except for textures my res is 1280x1024 @ 85 hz. Also try tweaking your nvidia drivers by setting image quality settings to performance, set the anisotropic mip filter to on, trilinear optimization to on anisotropic sample to on. Otherwise for me and my friends this patch is higherperformance I found this higher performance on the higher end settings.

Try setting textures to high then and then tell us how you fps is.

Re: worse framerate after 1.2

Yeah same here.

Came to forums to see if others were having this problem.

After patch am having serious boggin after like 15 minutes of play.
Like when the game first came out.

Same drivers and settings but without question degraded performance.
Also notice the some of the textures are flickering a lot say Spec Ops detonator for C4. Noticed that lst night.
When I am not getting rejected from servers for "modified content-version" conflicts. Seems to be Wake map mostly.

Crap.

What is a good frame rate for this game?

Re: worse framerate after 1.2

im haing loss of fps too, its really weird cos if i set my settings all to LOW i get ****e FPS like 13-20 max, but ive set most to MEDIUM & im averaging 37.

Re: worse framerate after 1.2

Anything above 40fps but it depends on your settings & resolution, personally i get 50-99fps @ 1600x1200 with all details high.
