Major Performance Issues

[AfterDune]

I don't know if you discussed it or not but it's obvious that you chose all the new effects, textures etc. over performance, since you were obviously aware of performance drops during the testing. I mean, you've made PR far more demanding than BF3...

Man you're stubborn. I just explained how we demanded the effects to not cause performance issues ffs.

[Protector]

PR team. Everyone could run the game fine at .98, but all of the sudden we see these MASSIVE hits to frame rate. Not the engine.

Everyone could run .98 fine because it wasn't as high quality...

I'm fine with lower FPS, if that means more high definition textures, effects and overall future improvements, however they've (I know they will eventually or possibly not) to find the sweet spot, before we all go haywire, sir.

I'm not going haywire... the game runs great and looks even better.

I never used vsync and I never saw sooooo low fps in any game...

Try to focus more on progress towards fixes and dialogue rather than get involved in arguments about someone being at fault for this. The fact is, this is where we are at right now, can't go back in time and change things so need accept it and work together moving forward

hes not look theres a smiley face at the end

[Kothra]

Can we all just shut the hell up and get back to trying to fix serious issues?

[Fresz]

I am guessing nobody came up with some fix that could make this mod playable?

Yes, here's the ulimate fix:










buy a better pc.

No fixes, but this post might help you. Report back.

I dont know if you should reply in this thread I assume you dont have any performance issues and cant come up with an actual idea of fixing the problem.The only thing you are doing right know is trolling other people.

Troll somewhere else retard.

I tried that - no difference not even small one. However it did make difference in Arma 3, now I can play all settings on High

I too have quite big issues with low FPS in the new version of PR.
All FPS are measured on Ramiel Alt (except for the MP test where I joined a server with Muttrah) with me being on the edge of the map and looking towards the center of the map.

Firstly, my graphic card is being barely used while playing. This means that low FPS issues are not caused by insufficient GPU power. I've been testing in SP mode, with no bots. With all settings set to high I get around 35 FPS and with all settings set to low I get around 42 FPS.

So this means that the problem is CPU based. One side of the problem could be that the BF2 engine is 8 years old, which means that the game probably runs in a single thread. So even with a processor, that has more than one core, the game can only use one core.

PRBF2.exe uses around 30% of CPU while playing. PRLanucher.exe doesn't seem to generate any major CPU usage while playing.

Then I tried adding bots. With 48 bots, things get quite bad. I get around 22 FPS, but this is because AI logic requires some CPU, and running 48 bots isn't a negligible task.

The next thing I tried to do was joining an empty server, which turned out great. I still had around 40 FPS, which is good enough for me.

So the problem has to be with either 100p servers or the game trying to handle 100 players at once or the combination of both. But this is purely a CPU based problem!

Today again, map changed and a lot of people had to restart their game because AS USUAL it went up to 100% CPU. Terribly poorly optimized, I can't wait for the moment this will be fixed. (if it hopefully ever will)

It will. Give them some time. Remember 1.0 has only been out for 1 week. Seems like forever. but it's not been all that long. give them some time.

Indeed, we are (the majority) patient, however my bomb car and IEDs says otherwise, sir.

[smokesumkill]

I have had the same issues before, running a 6 year old build.

My solution: Everything set to low, except effects set to medium.

10-20fps with all low settings, 30-80fps with effects on medium. I know it's weird, but it works.

touche. May you cause many glorious deaths.

[Pyrohair]

Just tried to play a round on Dovre and I was only getting about 15 fps. In .98 I would get 50+ fps.

[Kothra]

I think Dovre has its own issue as well, but yeah it's still worse than it should be.
