Major Performance Issues

[Bob12432]

Having played a little online/offline now I think I can say my problems are solved...

...No GPU issue, just pure CPU (best guess). Having checked GPU-Z for GPU utilisation, whereas on the old system usage was at most around 23%, it's now hitting 100% at times quite comfortably.

Interesting.

Whats the old /new Motherboard?

Also old and New Cpu Loadout at Peak ?

It's currently night time and your vehicle has no head lights...

I saw "Problem solved"... Then was disappointed that it was unrelated to this. But congrats on finding the origin of your issue.

[EDIT 2: Problem solved. On my rig (MSI GT70 laptop, win 7, all executables of PR were overriding the app-based settings and were using intergrated GPU for default. Manually setting Nvidia GPU as default for entire system and restarting PR several times fixed an error. Admins please delete this post, I will start another thread regarding MSI/WIN7/NV670GTX setup.]

How exactly did you enforce using Nvidia GPU for PR? Just driver settings or something external?

I have a Geforce 9800gt 1gb 256-bit VGA and I didn't have any problem with v0.98 and I could play it with medium/high graphic settings easily but now I have serious fps decline even by all-low graphic settings.
In my opinion, apparently there is no huge graphic changes!
so Is there an idea for solving my problem?
*- CPU= Athlon II x4 630 @2.8GHz
*- RAM= 2BG DDR2 800
(I have posted this in [Official] Launcher/Updater feedback thread too)

So, I've been out of the game so to speak for the last ten pages of this thread. But I wanted to say that all strange performance loss problems for me have completely stopped, everything runs as I would expect right now. The only performance loss issues I have are currently related to the maps themselves needing more optimisation, Dovre being the biggest culprit. I get the same gameplay out of 1.0 now that I used to get out of .98.

Whatever was changed in the last few updates fixed whatever major issue was affecting me.

I have a weird request for you all, post your Java Versions please.
Mine: Version 7 Update 25 (build 1.7.0_25-b17)

To find this (Win7): Control Panel->Programs->Java->About
And then post if you are running great or with issues.

Everyone here is having that problem (Low FPS even with the lowest settings when we could run it fine on max everything in .9 .

Version 7 Update 11 (build 1.7.0_11-b21)

Running better as of last version (of PR).

Quick update:

I just tried playing again. The map was Gaza Beach and the FPS was fine... Until I looked at the city.

I don't know Devs, but you guys really screwed something up with cities. I suggest you look there.

Had a guy in my squad having performance issues while on Medium settings. I told him to set everything on High and come back. Reports back in after re-joining and says he has about 20 more FPS and that the game looks great!

I then to proceed to tell him that I'm a wizard.

Come on guys, post your Java versions

[Souls Of Mischief]

Version 7 Update 1 (build 1.7.0_01-b08 )

[iwingi]

Version 7 Update 1 (build 1.7.0_01-b08 )

How's your game running though?

How's your game running though?

Extremely shitty. For example, FPS on Fallujah was around 40-70 on medium/high (full server). Now, running all on low (apart from those 3 settings that are forced) with 48 bots I get aroumd 20-27 FPS. Performance is FUBAR'd all across the board.
