Latest patch has decreased performance?


(Reverse.) #1

Yeah, so…
I played 2 days ago, it was running fine, just like it has been since launch. I didn’t play yesterday, and apparently the game was patched yesterday. Now, the game is really choppy, and not only is it making me not want to play, it also seems to be making it harder to play. I’m not exactly sure what the problem is, as the game was working completely fine two days ago.

Willing to get / provide any info you guys might need to try to pinpoint this problem, I’ll start with relevant system specs:

Intel i5-2400 @ 3.1 Ghz
GeForce GTX 560 Ti
4 GB of RAM
Running Vista Home Premium
Running at 1680 x 1050

Updated my video card drivers a few days ago, so I should be good there.

Any idea what may have caused this performance decrease? Hope this can be fixed soon, I really enjoy the game, but I can’t enjoy the game when it’s running like this.

Anyone have any ideas? I’d really like to get back to playing. :frowning:

Did you set r_useThreadedRenderer to 1 or 2? When I do that it seems to have a sizeable FPS drop. I have the same video card.

Nope, I haven’t even touched the console yet.

I also apparently also have an artifacting issue or something, guess I didn’t notice before:

Try verifying your cache in steam, looks like your fonts didn’t download right.

How do I do this?

Alright, doing that seemed to fix the problem on the guns, but I noticed it still happened during a match, namely after I die.
