I'm curious to see what kind of performance people have been getting with 1.08. Namel I would like to know if load times have been different, in-game performance (fps) and lag, especially if you get high pings on the official server. I'd also like to know if vehicle aiming is any better in the sense of the jittering and lag. Personally 1.08 has been a great step up for me in all of the aspects above but I did notice a few people pointing out that it was laggy? =o
Well, latency is 138, but i live in belgium. As a reference: 4 bsid servers: 29 - 61 3 cw servers: 113-119 2 On|E/JPL servers: 148-184 Also the 1.08 server had 9 players, all 9 other servers were completely empty. Edit: loading times seem to be reduced. It used to take almost a minute sometimes. I'll be trying soon to see how long it takes now, then i'll edit this post. About the lag ... i'm nog getting any lag as a player, but neither do i have that problem with 1.07. I know people who complained about lag with the scout rifle though, but that doesn't seem to be a problem here (and my gfx card is 2-3 years old). I did notice some sort of ... delays when aiming vehicle weapons. Sometimes the turret can't follow your movement, then it suddenly 'jumps' 20 degrees. EDIT: approx. 20 seconds to connect the first time approx. 10 seconds to connect a second time/map change
I'm getting ridiculous lag because game wants to read something from HDD. I'm getting this even with cl_forcepreload 1. (I disabled bloom bumpmap and so on) I'll send some crash dumps and test more.
I have noticed that it will sometimes take a long time to reload and looks like your system has crashed. Most times I've found loading to be rather quick =o
I've noticed that loading is much faster for me, but I did experience a few lag spikes just after I'd joined the server for the very first time. It literally happened twice though, for a few seconds each time, and never since.
If I want better performance, how far can I turn down my graphics settings without causing some things not to appear? Want to run at the lowest settings, but still see everything.
Performance wise,for me at least,nothing really changed,I have an average of 25 fps with the following graphics settings: 1152x864 resolution 4x Anti-Anitialising 4x Anisoptric Filtering All other settings on high and HDR turned on as well as colour correction. I have and ATI X1600 Pro with 512MB DDR2 AMD Athlon XP 64 3200+ ~ 2,4GHZ 2 GB Kingston RAM Windows XP Professional I noticed that when I take a close look at structures (Buildings/Turrets etc.) my FPS drops down to 15/16 FPS,although,looking at one structure shouldn't pull down the FPS that much.Normally,looking at many structures at the same time should kill more FPS then 1 could do (Yes I know about LOD) Here are some pics:
is that in response to what the minimal settings that don't make things not appear are? if so, that doesn't help me at all.
I'm running the game at 800 x 600 with almost everything on high & I'm getting the usual FPS I've been getting since the beggining. (teens to 28, more if the maps lack trees or fog, up to 60 plus sometimes). Load times are the same usually two to three minutes, four if I'm loading up the map for the first time. As for lag, it only lagged once when I was run over as I was jumping to the side trying to avoid the oncoming vehicle (which I did on my screen but I still died).
Not lagging at all, aside from the occasional lag spike... everything seems good, except my computer has been ruined through some dick that said he could repair a computer, ended up smearing cooling gel on the pins of my CPU, I'm going to sue a new computer out of him. So I constantly crash.
I got some lag issues when my comm pointed out 10 targets about 30 metres from where I was. I assume that was the red diamond tracking that caused the laggage. The aiming is spot on though, the engie smg is dead accurate at range now and looks so cool when 3 people have you pinned down behind a ridge. Tank cannons are much much much easier to use now (which is good) and the only problems I have is trying to shoot down infantry at close range with the yellow slots, but I assume that was laggage too. All in all, ran pretty well at 150+ ping (highest was 800).
Escort seems to give me much better fps than it used to (usually ~50-60), except at flag 1, where my fps drops to about 20. :/
loading times when joining a server seem quicker for me, framerate dropped a bit (used to be 35-30 and now 25-20) on average. settings: 1024X728 (or somthing like that, I cant remember) everything turned on high, except for antialiasing, that's at 4X
I get 30+ FPS, if not around 80 FPS on all high settings, 1680x1050, on some NV drivers that are a version or two old. Latency is fine, but this is the first I've used the official server.
