Game still runs like garbage. Can’t even get over 30 fps and it stutters horribly still. Is this going to get fixed for ati users ever? I’m sorry but it’s been a month and I still can’t play this game properly. I have an hd 5770 and there should no issues at all. I get a better frame rate with crysis honestly.
I’m not asking for my money back I just want SD to know that their reputation is forever ruined in my eyes.
Here’s to ET and Quake wars.
The links are still up to download

I had a 4890 and got about 30-40 fps.
Bought a 6870 today, still get 30-50 fps. 
I have all the extras turned off, no shadows etc. Was expecting to get 60-90 fps
For reference, I have a Sapphire 5850 and get 45-200 fps since launch with the average above 100. Not trying to be a dick. In fact, I think it sucks that some people are still having problems. I’m just saying it’s not all ATI cards, nor has it ever been all ATI cards.
I have a system comparable to Enders. Its a 5850 where I get anywhere from 120 to 40 on average with a few places where it dips lower. I was wondering what settings you where running it at and did you tweak the brink config file? I Basically doubled my performance by tweaking the settings so if you could post yours I could see what improvements could be made.
Amazing. Is this all in game?
Because during pictures or loading time fps goes up to like 300+ (but that doesnt really count).
Yes, it is all in game. Playing maps with probably 2-4 people in view. Not counting menus or map loading or anything silly like that. Here is a link to my computer specs.

Seriously? All the threads and all the games where ATI has got problems did not lead you to the conclusion that maybe ATI is crap? Return that card and get a nvidia instead. Problem solved. My current is the first and last ATI I bought.
Also check your CCC settings. Make sure nothing like supersampling is on, that would kill your framerates.
Sorry, I only posted the variables I have changed which are outside of the regular in game options. The tag to do the box thing is “code” in brackets.
Editing my initial post with renderer variables.
yes. i totally agree to that.
its such a pity that every, and i mean literally every other game runs just fine for me. i have a quadcore q9400@2.67ghz and a radeon hd4870.
i think two years ago this card kicked major ass. now its still average. i play duke nukem forever at a constant framerate. i play crysis2 at a constant framerate. eh, medal of honor, constant framerate.
so. what the **** is going on? i already had a bad feeling when i installed the rc for the 11.6, which nothing changed at all. now, my fears become true. it still does nothing at all.
so, what the **** is going on?
read, busy splash damage, read. comment. are you aware that a big amount of ati users cannot play your game properly?
First, the HD5770 is not a great card, second, Brink is very CPU dependent, what CPU do you have ?
FWIW I have a HD4890 (which is a better card than the 5770 despite being a lower number) and a triple core CPU (AMD Phenom II X3) and get 60-80 FPS mostly. It can sometimes drop to 45-ish, but often rises to 100+ in some places.
I’ve tried about a dozen different drivers for my GPU, tried loads of different config settings, and even overclocked the card, nothing made much difference.
I applied a 10% overclock to my CPU (the BIOS on my motherboard has an option to do it automatically to save messing about with memory timings and voltages etc.) and that made about 10% difference to my FPS.
The thing is, even at a steady 60 - 80 FPS, the game is still choppy. I think it’s the idTech4 engine, ET:QW was the same for me. It’s playable, but against silky smooth engines like idTech3, Frostbite and Source idTech4 is poor and probably always will be.
(tl:dr - it’s not an ATi problem, or anything SD can fix, it’s a ****ty CPU heavy engine, unless you’re prepared to throw significantly more grunt at it, you’re stuck with the performance you have)

core 2 duo e8400 at 3.00ghz
My pc is fine and I run other idtech4 games fine. That stuttering in quake wars is due to punk buster, which can be fixed through a console command.The problem lies in brink, not idtech 4. Even at everything forced low through the config tool the game still has erratic drops.
Again, I’m able to play heavier games than brink and still get a better frame rate with my 5770.

I’ve seen 3 games with ATI issues recently (last 6 months, give or take) and the issues have ranged from graphical glitches to crashes to supper laggy framerate. This points at 3 possible things:
Now it may possibly be 2 but I doubt it greatly, especially since all 3 of the games I saw got better with newer driver versions which makes me think that the culprit is 3.
When pushing some of the ATI cards I think their drivers are just giving out. There’s some tweaking and fiddling that the game developers can do but it gets to a point where a graphics card should be able to handle the graphics and at that point it seems to be the drivers that are failing.
Of course this is all anecdotal and guesswork on my part but it’s enough for me to never buy ATI. On the other hand my friend has an ATI (not sure which model) and has never had an issue with it, so who knows 
Same FPS issue here. I only get around 40 FPS or so.
Game is dead and I moved on.
For that guys than get lower frame rates, ¿have you tryed seta com_machineSpec “0” ? If yes, then may be u have to play with a lower resolution.
My pc config is an old core2 duo e6750 @ 3.2 Ghz and an 8800gt, and usually get more than 60fps even in maps with 16 ppl @ 1280x720

Ive got a e8400 / 4870, switched to the 10.12 cats and now get a pretty stable 30-40fps with the fps config. Which is ok and somewhat playable - but still feels like you’re running through treacle. Now I’m fairly sure now its a cpu issue (if I wanted it to look pretty again it’d probably go back to a gpu issue)

Nvidia. Therefore you automatically get more FPS
