Massive FPS drop in multiplayer?


(thisisgil) #1

I am running a box with 2 x SLI Geforce GTS 450s. I am able to run at a pretty nice framerate in the Challenges and when playing the missions with bots (I get ~80-50 FPS), but the moment I connect to a real live public game, my framerate drops right down to around 14 FPS.

I’m pretty certain this is a bug, because after I’ve disconnected, my framerate stays shockingly bad.

For example:

  1. Menu - FPS around 120
  2. Play Challenge - FPS around 60ish
  3. Menu - FPS around 120
  4. Play online - FPS around 10
  5. Menu - FPS around 30

As you can see, even in the menu after I’ve quit an online game, the framerate is a quarter of what it is when I just boot up!

I’ve heard lots of complaints about lag in multiplayer, but I just assumed this was ping related - has anyone specifically encountered any FPS issues like this?
