Anyone else felt like they have less fps this patch even though they don't?


(Ghosthree3) #1

So I sit at ~144, occasionally dipping, pretty much all game. But ever since last patch it frequently feels as if I have far, far less. Not always but often, especially after the game has been open a while. It’s extremely distracting and painful to look at.

EDIT: It’s like getting non stop itty bitty microstutters. All the time.

You’re not the only one.
Now I feel less lonely on the matter, and I thought my specs weren’t good enough for this game ._.
Heard it was because of the HUD and the minimap though.
Let me look through warchest forums a bit.

I’m still getting the odd dip. Lag seems to be a real issue right now. I’m getting a lot more ‘lost connection to server’ messages. Sometimes lasting several seconds. Others have experienced it, judging from the chat comments, so I don’t think it’s on my end.


(Ghosthree3) #4

Those are server stability issues. 100% server side, not related.

I think this is it.


(Ghosthree3) #6

Yeah I know about this. I tried pressing TAB a few times to hide the HUD and it may have been different. Didn’t test enough to say for sure.

The thing is that issue has been around for ages, much longer than this patch. I’m only having issues since this patch.


(sinKrin) #7

@Ghosthree3 Yeah, figured as much :slight_smile:

Well I’m gonna try the hide minimap bind that was posted. Maybe it helps.


(srswizard) #9

Yes, the performance is somehow even worse after the last patch.
Whenever something actually happens, e.g. a gunfight begins, the framerate drops and stutters hit.
It was bad before, but not this bad.

I’m very disappointed, because I keep waiting for a patch that has the opposite effect, for once.

I haven’t noticed any change but I’m also running a high FPS config where I typically get 300+fps with drops down to 150 which keeps the game rather smooth where it would not be if you were getting 150fps with drops down to 50. I do know Lumfish was talking in channel that he was running the game with UI settings (not sure if it was low/medium/high) and he was getting consistent FPS up until the most recent patch where he now gets microstutters constantly and moved back over to a high FPS config.

@Amerika

Well, this optimisation issue make me feel, some time, want to quit this game. But i do not because i really enjoy playing it. But this feeling is getting worse every day…
I got a very good rig:

gtx 980
i7 4790k
w8.1

Generaly the game feel smooth the first 5mn of the game. But start slowly after degrading.
I tried different things but lately, i’m on a non-tweaked cfg with every thing desactivated or low with g-sync at 143fps (because not locked i can go to 250-300fps). Few days ago i played on outc1der cfg. Work well the first hours but with time, it seem to deterior so i tried few things else.

I got 70% of the time ATM a choppy gameplay. Even with stable fps, it’s choppy, not smooth at all. With “stat unitgraph + unit”, i can see issues:






This is some thing that devs should work now, but i mean really now. More and more people start playing the game and they will not stay. I think it’s a mix of servers issue and ingame code. SD should fix or buy new server and try to fix the ingame code. The game is pretty ready now, devs should put time in optimisations via ingame MAJ and nvidia driver because they are very outdated. Things are missing and the game is not perfect, like private servers, report cheater, better spectator mod, hud ingame editor, reduicing ingame waiting time, replay, minor mg bugs… But the core is ready.
It’s like playing a fast fps like quake with 30fps. The game is good but some thing is killing your gameplay experience.


(yapster) #12

yeah feel like i have the same issues, even though fps looks good it feels laggy and much worse than last patch.

You probably do have less but don’t notice it (well, you do). Do you use the stat graphs? Sometimes mine looks like a roller coaster. Other times it’s moderately good. No rhyme or reason to it.


(Ghosthree3) #14

I’ve not used the graph but I have stared as the number while it feels like crap and it appears to hold steady.


(misspo) #15

Like you can see in my links. Normaly to have smooth gameplay, it should be straight lignes.
“EDIT: It’s like getting non stop itty bitty microstutters. All the time.”
Hi, that discribe what i feel. It look like some tinny microstutters going on continusly.
I doesn’t stop you from playing but it’s like a “headache”. Please give us some aspirine :frowning:


(MisterMurder) #16

I get 300-400 FPS in TF2 but the game looks choppy. When I turn on V-sync the game looks much smoother on my 60 Hz monitor. Same with DB. Just turn on V-sync and this might help you.


(capriRocket) #17

nobody wants to play on 60hz


(Ghosthree3) #18

Have 144hz G-Sync so that’s not the issue.


(Potato_Ladder) #19

Did the link I gave you helped with the problem?


(Ghosthree3) #20

Not sure yet. I’ve put in the hide minimap bind but haven’t played enough since to tell. I don’t think there was any lag in the short time I did play though.
