New patch given me and MANY more insane hitches/freezes (pumpkins is fun and all but it aint worth it!)
How long have you been playing Planetside 2? It should be well known by now, plenty of bugs are introduced on patch days, and then slowly they are reduced to a playable amount.
Because you're one of the lucky few whose RAM somehow doesn't get eaten alive while playing. For me, my four gigs of RAM is more or less completely used up as soon as I log into my character, and the hitching party starts from there. 100% unplayable for me. Before the Valkyrie patch, I could handle fights of any size -- even colossal 96+ zergfests -- without much of a problem at a consistent 30-ish FPS on a mix of low and high settings. Now, irrespective of my settings, my screen locks up horribly if there's more than a few players in the vicinity.
I get 15 less fps, which ticks me off since I spent half an hour yesterday squeezing the perfect fps out of my amd card. Plus, I crash every few minutes.... Maybe cuz your rig is better?
8 gigs of RAM here - same problem. Kerbal Space Program is better optimised than this game, and it's made by about 6 people.
It's not luck, it's God... And for whatever reason, my performance has been INCREASING over the last few months... In May, I averaged about 45-51 FPS. Now, I average 53-74 FPS. I love it:3 BRO. Dell i5. I have no idea what type of Dell laptop this is, but it doesn't seem any better than most laptops out there. And yet, I get tons of FPS, and that figure has increased over the months.
Yes I get a solid 60 in warpgate and while flying scythe. However, the question is not what fps I get, it is why you have such good performance and fps despite what most people (and people with great cpu's) experience after this patch.
