Performance with full servers

(Violator) #1

I know I’ve mentioned this in other threads but not seen a specific topic for it. My PC is an i3 (minimum spec pretty much) and with everything turned to low I can get 60-70 fps on an empty server or with a couple of players, for example on Waterloo. As soon as it gets to 5v5 my fps drops to 20-40, even when no other players are around, but gets worse when there are. My ping isn’t an issue, I usually get between 20 and 30. I’m sure I need a beefier CPU but not sure if the issue is:

Rendering of player models - can’t see any options to reduce quality for these?

Netcode - my ping is low but I do get bad frame lag which I’ve reported before, and its a lot worse with a full server. With a couple of players it feels pretty smooth and I don’t notice much lag between firing and hitting for instance, but the opposite is true for full servers.

I notice this the most on London Bridge on which I get the worst FPS (except for the indoor ammo room), on other maps unless team is getting steamrolled my k/d is around 1:1 but on LB its more like 1:10 :D.

I fi recall correct

SD has said that theyll look into that a bit later in the process

and not to brag here but i actaully manages to get 1 kill and only die 5-7 times per kill ^^ and that goes on all maps :penguin:

Game went smooth last patch, then since the latest one I have enormous warp again, sometimes it’s my connection because I can see I double the ping that I should have, but tonight it was almost unplayable and my ping was OK, FPS were better than usual with 100/90 fps but I still got drops every now and then, it’s getting super frustrating, I’m warping all around the place and get shot thru wall more than everyone I think.

I might stop playing till next patch because I cant even focus on the game with these performance issues, getting on my nerves.

I’m feeling similarly atm but I will continue for science. Would like to know if I’m warping to other players.

warping happen to me, and lot of my mates speak about big framerate drop when server is full. It just happen to me since today.

I had something weird happen on LB the other night but it has only happened once since the latest update. Two nights ago my ping was 60 but there were 4 instances when I couldn’t move in open space. It wasn’t even rubberbanding. I just couldn’t move. Even when it wasn’t that bad I would die and the killcam would show me dying a good 3 seconds before I died on my client. Disconnected. Downloaded a vid cap program to try and catch it. Rebooted. Haven’t seen it since.
