[Performance] Optional install option


(Milk Lizard) #1

Wasn’t 100% sure where to post, but since it has something to do with performance, I figured here would be best. Anyway…

I think they should give PS3 players an option to install to our HDD to help with texture loading.
Sometimes textures don’t even load for me (Like walls, doors, red dot attachs). Sometimes I walk away and come back then they load.

Anyone else having texture problems, and also think a decent size install (1-3GB) would help with this and maybe other issues?

Like many games, we actually use a portion of the disc on the PS3 set aside for this sort of thing. However this is wiped if you play another game that needs to use it. You’ll tend to find your initial texture load times will be better if you don’t swap from Brink to another game and back. Obviously we’re not advocating you never play other games, but this information may be helpful to some users.

The texture should only ever load slowly the first time they get cached to the PS3. Subsequent loads should be faster.

If you do find that a texture never loads, that would be a bug and you should report it so we can investigate; we have never found this to be the case.

Thanks for replying with some nice info!

But unfortunately, I still find that textures load quite slow in game still. Especially the ground and walls, even though I haven’t played another game since.

When I’m at the weapon customize screen, some attachments never load textures even after 2 minutes (yes I timed about 3 different ones).

Other then the weird enemy and team AI I notice sometimes, this game kicks serious f**king ass.

Other then some enemy and team mate AI issues it’s good game. I hope you guys support this game like crazy with new guns, attachments, gear, maps, more player levels, player abilities and most importantly Patches.
