APC Lag bug and fix.

[R.J.Travis]

I was driving a Striker/50cal and loaded up a full squad and we where driving them to the cache i had 104 FPS they unloaded and I dropped from 104 FPS to 12.2/15.1

I started thinking wtf **** what is going on i have a dam ati 4870 x2 theres no way im getting 12 fps they start bitching at me for not picking them up b/c i'm getting to low of fps i would get them all killed.

well i picked them all up and guess what it was fixed.

they got out no problem was 100% fixed.

then a blue loner gets in and back out boom 12 fps bug again I switch to the back seats everyone of the seats and it fixes it.



then 8 rounds later i spawn in and a Bradley is by the main gate when i go by it my fps drops to 12 I jump in switch in all the open seats its fixed.


So once you get the instant drop in fps switch to every seat in the apc and it will fix it really hoping i help someone with this.

I was just about to post this bug.

Happened to me in fallujah west with apc, but it was weird, there was nobody but myself in gunner position and my driver. We were gunnign everythign down when out of nowhere the lag happens. But the lag was felt by all my squad members. The lag dissapeared when the driver got out but i stayed in the gunner seat. Everytime the driver got back in it would lag up again.

Its the oddest thing, iv never seen that happen before.

Il try that solution next time, but hopefully it wont happen again.

I have had the same problem in a Bradley on Falujah.

Will try seat hopping to fix it in future.

Nice find. I've often had this bug, but I guess the solution must be as weird as the problem itself, like when loading up another map to 50 % fixes some CTD problems

nice find, I'll try it out myself (though I've mainly only found it problematic on Fools Road as a Driver).

Also had this same problem on Asad Khal with a Stryker.

Stryker on Asad Khal?

Sorry, Karbala. Always get those mixed up.

[CareBear]

sounds like something similar to the Apache bug on albasrah in .6 although could be completly different :/

[PRftw]

Never had such problem, weird :f

[ralfidude]

apache bug on albrashar???


Lol, everybody is getting their vehicles and maps wrong.

that was the merlin bug, and lets hope to god its not related, or were doomed...

As far as Travis's fix goes, it does seem to kind of fix it. What happens is, it glitches for a few seconds and goes normal, then glitches, and goes back to normal, etc and so forth. So... really gay... not u travis, just the bug.

In anycase its a nice temporary fix.

The other permanent fix is to get somebody in the apc with u guys at all times. That seems to stop it.



Any word from Devs what it actually is?

I had this bug too, happened every time on fallujah west. On the suggestion of another PR player i reduced textures on both settings to medium and i've never had an issue since.....still cant hit anything but thats not a bug.

It's also fixed the occaisional kick to desktop that used to happen.

Hope that helps

Cheers

err no i think you will find that im right.... in .6 open beta the apache was on albasrah, and every now and then if someone hopped in the Apache it would lag everyone on the server, so learn you facts before mouthing off

[ralfidude]

Jeez carebear relax, a chill pill will do.

I hear ppl not using the right vehicles names, so i figured u meant merlin, so my bad about forgetting what that map was like 3 releases ago. god.
