Everyone's performance killed but NO ONE at SOE could reproduce this issue?

The same thing happens to me and many people in my outfit are reporting the same problem. At first I thought maybe it's the server population excited about the patch, but even as things died down it continued.

It happens sometimes, but the game will start stuttering at certain places, seemingly when transitioning from one zone to the next, but it's hard to tell. This did not happen before the patch. I'm sure SOE is aware of it.

odd, mines 250 which is still stupidly high even for a modern day build (which it is)

Yeah everything was fine in-game. I know this might sound like me saying the opposite to the majority of the posters in this thread but my game feels smoother overall. Kind of like I was running on 50 or 60hz before, and now I'm running on 75hz. It feels much smoother when I'm looking around.

Seems like people with good systems have had serious issues - people with laptops and crap systems have some improvement.

So they ruined the game for the majority of your population. GJ

My game runs alot better now... when it isn't crashing TROLOLOLOLO

Yea the hotfix worked a bit for me. Sofar playing today the game runs much better and smoother. Haven't experienced lagspikes sofar.
And it got me back to around pre-patch fps.

They said the patch was supposed to improve the performance on low end GPUs,so they have probably tweaked the low graphic settings but people on high and ultra aren't benefitting as much.

TotalEclipse08 and Johnnyseven both claim to have better performance and are using low settings.

I have to agree with the op here.

I understand critical thinking is not taught anymore, but seriously this is getting ridicules.

The bugs are enhanced by server load. My performance is trash like everyone elses... While on Indar with everyone else. Its almost non existent on low pop maps.

This has happened in EVE-Online for years. They add or change something that breaks under real world server load. Nothing new here. It will be fixed, submit a thoughtful and very specific bug report.

Something EVE-Online does have is a test server. The devs will schedule mass-test so that they can get hundreds of players in one place to test stability.

It isn't a case of high end users having problems and lower end users having improvements at all. Myself and many other low end users now find the game unplayable.

Even at timeswith my laptop when the ALT+F thing says ive got 50 fps.. the server performance makes it look like 20 fps.. so that aint great

Indeed. My system is thoroughly mid-range (but barely passes for low-end in PS2, really), and I've never had acceptable performance at all times in this game, but now I have the stuttering on top of it that makes it unplayable.

I'm not getting any issues, please stop talking for "everyone".

I understand giving a company slack. However, they failed where other companies do not. This failure warrants complaints and improvements. If they don't improve QA they will lose players to more stable and better tested games....

On top of all this, and the TR tanks and NC tanks (i think) firing blanks, yesterday was the first time I noticed I was attacking an invisible enemy. I ran out to this rock outcrop, wondering why people are shooting at it then EEEEKKK!!!! 30 enemy suddenly draw in and I'm standing there like an idiot in the open lol

Please SOE... the game is unplayable post update, jump from 50 to 2 fps! I used to play consistently with 40-50.

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Everything is fine, the bugs are a lie.

It appears that SOE mid-level management has lost control. Time for a serious sit down with those folks.

I haven't had any performance drop on my end, so I guess that means I work for SOE now?
Try deleting your useroptions file, I remember having to do that a couple times after patches during the beta.

The stutter seems to be gone now but the overall performance is still like it was, not seeing any improvements at all. And above all the gimped vehicles and turrets? Yeah bro, totally not a problem.
