Hi all, My game used to run normal before Game Update 2, but lately I cam across one serious issue. After going to AMP station or e.g. Biolab my FPS takes a deep dive from 60-120 to constant 30. Even if I leave the zone afterwards - FPS will stay the same, and the only way to fix it is to restart the game. At such moments my videocard load is 30-40% (normal beeing 60-90%)and game reports CPU as bottlenecking factor. It doesn't appear to be related to ammount of players in the zone since it happens even if amp station is pretty much empty, but doesn't happen e.g. in the Crown with lots of players on all three sides. My PC spec: Intel Core i7 930 @4200MHz 6GB DDR3 1600 nVidia GTX590 Game is running from OCZ Vortex3 128GB SoundBlaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro series
I take back everything i said about GU2 doing anything positive for performance, it must have been placebo all the way ... Theres fps problems near amp stations and biolabs, fps is down the crapper again when riding vehicles ... its almost getting beta nostalgic. What exactly was optimized for the update apart from low end gpus? My guess is goddamn nothing ... And since rendering of players is complete crap as well its getting very close to me uninstalling this Planetside wannabe.
Looks like lower FPS after GU2 as well as decreasing performance bug (although most people notice drop not as big as Yours) - first introduced with GU2, second known for a long time, still not fixed.
You could look and state Your opinion here: http://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/index.php?threads/performance-on-latest-hotfix.91453/ There are many ppl there, that have problems after GU2.
I said what i needed to say, its up to you if you want to waste time on it ... and support tickets are probably as effective as they were in the Planetside 1 days ... trust in SOE severely lowered 2nd time around.
