4. From the maps mentioned above, state which specific areas/directions affect your performance the most.

Well basically...the grass causes a little lag in fallujah i "THINK"...but mostly its staring into the city..almost like there are too many textures/poly's or somethin..


5. Name any maps that you have no performance issues with.

I can play most of the old maps pretty decent..but I'm running on all low settings now...with all settings set low with still keeping the 1024x768 resolution i can play them all with minimal lag. A quick note...this is my low end system...and on low it runs them all pretty decent. I ran ALL pr maps in .87 on medium or high settings either one without an ounce of lag...everything was smooth and crisp. I'm not sure what all tweaks were submitted to the current modification but I hope we find a way to fix them. This is the best FPS on the market for us military guys, thanks for the hard work and dedication you put forth. And just an addon....the new mod is absolutely great minus the lag issue.

N/A

Gaza beach can be a slide show! Fallujah West. Rest of the maps seem to be better.


4. From the maps mentioned above, state which specific areas/directions affect your performance the most.
Any area in Gaza Beach that I can "see" a very long distance, i.e. most of the map. I used a rope to climb over a wall and at the top of the wall it felt like I was getting maybe 20fps max.

Yamilia, Silent Eagle, Gaza Beach



4. From the maps mentioned above, state which specific areas/directions affect your performance the most.

Prior to making changes noted above:

All three maps when spawning in there is a spawn delay (2-5 minutes) where I can't move about, then game crashes/locks up, or rest of game movement is slow-mo effects and eventually game/crash mid game or end of game. Flying near buildings causes 15 sec lag spikes



5. Name any maps that you have no performance issues with.

Haven't played all the old maps yet. Kashan, Fools Road are mostly OK after a initial 15-30 spawn in lag then gameplay is fine.

I noticed that my computer freezes when I press Caps lock to show the map, and/or when creating a squad. Freezing time can be everything from 2-3 seconds up to a minute or so. Otherwise it's on random places on the maps, sometimes in main where there's alot of players, moving vehicles etc, other times there's no one around at all.

5. Name any maps that you have no performance issues with.

Muttrah City is one of those maps, but I'd say that the maps that existed pre .9 works fine, it's the new maps that kills my computer.

Yamalia (one of the most smooth maps on my system) and all the not mentioned old ones.
