Yep, it's back.. With a vengence... My screen would literally freeze for like a second or two before stuttering back to normal.. Nope, I have absolutely no issues with the game before the latest patch, smooth as butter (the GPU temp did rise a lil bit but I'm not too worried).. But now it's bad... Really bad... Help please..
Me and my friend are experiencing the exact same thing. Every 10-20 minutes or whatever (random) the game just freezes for a second (really annoying) and the overall FPS is lower... way lower. I have no idea what they did. https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/index.php?threads/performance-issues.168334/
ESC-Settings-Graphic change from Ultra to High, smoothing ON! and Back to game. Now turn off (logout) and relaunch the Game. check Time till it happens again. Please. with ALT and F you see 56-59 FPS below Minimap. I have same but before pach, and allways after continent change.
I don't use SLI in this game because it gives me some weird screen tearing. This happens with both SLI enabled & disabled. I use one card in PS2. Never seen this before (this patch introduced it)
This has become horrible for me too, and yes I use SLI. It's especially deadly flying. I just lost a brand new aircraft into the side of a bio-lab because my computer hitch---no it *froze* for well over 1 second. Fix please ;\
I dont have SLI, but that didnt stop the game from chugging down to 0 fps the second i bought a scythe. 5 seconds later the game decided i had flown into a tree and crashed, bringing fps back up to normal.
aaaand it happened again. It happens a lot when I zoom in on a scope too, but it's not like flying where your aircraft keeps moving while your PC is hiccuping. I'm going to go ahead and not fly until this is patched.
I get this on my laptop sometimes. I've found alt-tabbing in and out of the game than unplugging and replugging my power cord fixes it without having to log off.
