1. Have you noticed a significant performance
decrease from 0.87 -> 0.9?
Yes, before it was only super slow when in the middle of a huge firefight with half the server within 100m, now its quite random. On some maps it depends on which direction Im facing, and where everyone else is.
2. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your performance in 0.9.
Bout a 4, .87 was about a 5-6. Every now and then .9 is sweet, then it goes to teh dogs again.
3. Name three or more maps in 0.9 which result in the
worst performance.
I havent played all the maps yet, but I'll do my best!
Gaza Beach.
Dragon Fly.
Siege at Ochamachira.
Fallujah West.
4. From the maps mentioned above, state which specific areas/directions affect your performance the most.
Parts of Gaza, actually most of the city, the peninsula and walled area to the east are ok even in firefights. Sometimes it depends on which direction Im facing, in several of the buildings on the south side of Gaza City I would have slide shows facing north, smooth as it ever gets facing west, east, or south. Strangely on the roof it was ok, seemed to be only inside the building's caused the issues.
Dragon Fly, unplayable with more than 10 on the server, slide shows everywhere. The tanks slowed things down to about 1 frame every 2-3 seconds!
Siege at Ochamachira, especially in the center area of the complex, slowed to about 5 FPS or lower.
Fallujah West, the LAV causes slide shows, HMMV's/Insurgent vehicles seem to be fine (although I still cant drive/ ride the dirtbikes! Thats a problem with me, not the computer or game!!)
5. Name any maps that you have
no performance issues with.
Lashkar Valley seems fine, looks nice even with everything on low!
Iron Ridge, havent found anything there that causes issues, and Ive walked almost everywhere.
Beirut is fine.
Fools Road is still good, possibly better than .87.
Quinling is definitely better than .87.
Kashan seems the same.
Asah Khal is about the same, (I do like the M16, its sweet!).
Thats all I can remember right now, hope it helps.
On thing which Im not sure is game related or just my old PC being weird again.
I have a Radeon 9800 GT 128 video card which I tried to see if it would help, but it was worse and caused more CTD/ video issues than the 9600 playing PR, yet made everything else better.
