Amerish Frame Rate Issues

    Gettng some really bad fps on Amerish currently running at 24fps but Indar plays fine at 60-150fps, anyone else having issues on Amerish?

    Yup. Whenever I go to Amerish my frame rate plummets. I'm usually in the 30-40 FPS region on Indar/Esamir, but only manage ~20 on Amerish. Makes it unplayable.
  3. Paranormal

    Yes, on Indar and Esamir I can play fine in heavy battles with frame rates in the mid 40s. On Amerish it seems my framerates gradually drop down to the mid 20s and never recover.

    The same thing happens to me after a while, I just have to alt-tab out and back in to get decent FPS again.

    bumping this since i still have this issue

    I think its becase of all the trees and the shadows they make shadows are rended on the CPU in PS2 and after i OCed mine more i get 40-60 fps use alt+f and see what your bottle neck is

    I disabled my shadows since long time ago. Im CPU bottlenecked all the way like 90% of the rest here

    I can't keep amerish above 30fps with the flora on, so I have it and shadows disabled.

    32gig ram .???? why you need so much ram . 8 is just great .

    Having the same issues here. On Indar and Esamir I get between 60-80 fps everywhere.
    In the first few minutes of playing on Amerish I have no issues, but after like 15-30 mins of play my fps doesn't get above 30, which I find unplayable.
    Too bad really since Amerish has some really nice bases, I'm sick of Indar (and it tends to lag somewhat) and Esamir is always empty.
    I have shadows and flora disabled.

    I have:
    I5 3570K
    gtx580
    16 gigs ram

    I play on ultra and got like 40 fps increase after I disabled flora and shadows. Now I get 60+ fps

    I didn't understand how your getting worse fps than me on a better gear.. now I see, your using 4's.
    I did some testing the other day.. 3 looks better on most these setting anyways..

    Just put everything but textures and shadows on high in the menu.
    This is High with ultra textures and no shadows:

    [Rendering]
    GraphicsQuality=3
    TextureQuality=0
    ShadowQuality=0
    RenderDistance=6000.000000
    Gamma=0.200000
    MaximumFPS=250
    UseLod0a=0
    VSync=0
    OverallQuality=-1
    LightingQuality=2
    FogShadowsEnable=1
    EffectsQuality=3
    TerrainQuality=3
    FloraQuality=3
    ModelQuality=3
    ParticleLOD=2
    MotionBlur=0
    AO=1


    Here is some shots of me testing things:

    Here is TextureQuality=0 with everything else on high:
    [IMG]


    Here is TextureQuality=0 with everything else on 5:
    People see how this looks clearer.. they think that means ultra.. when in fact it is lower quality.

    Here is what it looks like with my Render settings:

    Here is Video because screencaps can't get the lighting, sunlight moves from clouds shadows on high, which is =2 in the ini.



    Also, if you have no shadows, Enable fog Shadows, it fixes the brightness issue:
    No shadows, fog shadows OFF

    No shadows, Fog Shadows ON

    ULTRA:
    Looks pretty, but I rather see my enemy...

    Why I stopped using ULTRA:


    TextureQuailty=0 is the best improvement in graphics.
    Here are the results:

    Thanks for the post, I'll give your config a whirl this weekend.

    It had zero effect, still horrible FPS on amerish.

    it's fast load when you log in and in between screens. like when you redeploy or instant action or switch continents.
    Just seems smoother to me overall.
