So how's the patch going for you....

Great so far, noticed an extra 10-15 FPS in the warpgate

Can't wait to see what else has changed.

I am stuck at work -.-

FPS went down like hell, don´t know it is the masses of players online trough the new patch or the new patch

Frame stutter is horrendous.

Logged in, bought the SMG, died to everything 1v1, logged off for a bit before I lost my cookies.

So far, so good. I haven't seen a big fight to see what impact it's having on my frames though. I have a mid-range system (i5-2550k, 8 GB RAM, GTX 560 1 GB) and run everything on "high" with no .ini tweaks and had been getting right around 30-35 fps in most fights, around 60 with not much in view.

Looks like they just made an announcement on the server which was pretty cool, somelike "Hey guys, big patch. Sounds like there's some stutter issues, trying to fix them"

frame rate- worse than before patch

When I am killed, frame rate sometimes drops to 1 until I re spawn, sometimes mean I don;t get to see who/ what actually killed me the post death screen lags so much.

Yeh I've got to say that there does seem to be alot more lag but surely that's because loads of people have just logged in and it's pretty packed? Not sure, I like the new colour system though, the new bases are cool but I can't go anywhere near them without being told to move out due to it being a restricted area.

I have a lot of FPS stutter...not the only one.

The last online outfit column...not there.

Rank sorting is broken.

Message of the day STILL BROKEN FFS.

As an outfit leader i am sad.

AS A TR PLAYER.

WOOO HOOO OUR TANKS DON'T SUCK NOW WOOOO

Frame rate started off well until I found a fight then it dropped like hell! Few things Ive noticed which are really crap now....

- Magrider strafe sucks to **** and thats with fully upgraded chasis....
- In Liberator I was being locked on so fast (without knowing) and getting hit by NS Annihilator left right and center taking stupid amounts of damage.
- Liberator Walker gun seems to have lost its punch and does no damage now.


Thats with 5mins of playing....

Lots of positive stuff in this patch BUT here's the negative points:

1) Annihilator, locks on, vehicle starts moving and then the rocket starts tracking? Results in not being able to hit vehicle because you hit their cover BEFORE they're in cover

2) Render distance, good idea and change but being sniped by snipers that we cannot see? Seems wierd and not right

3) Frame drops and frame lag are nuts

4) Tower spawn rooms are screwed, you get hit by splashdamage from the floor below when in the spawn room

1) Horrible frame rate.
2) my eyes hurt from gloomy stuff all over the place

The colors are derped as well btw, points and generators are now blue? But you can't change that color...

Installed the patch. Logged in, joined a battle. FPS unplayable. Uninstalled.

If this "big optimization patch" for lower end machines didn't help, looks like it's time to admit this isn't a game I can play without a new laptop, and PS2 is not worth a whole new laptop. Guess I'll have to stick to properly coded games.

FRAMES
WHAT ARE THEY

I experienced another 5 fps average in warpgate. Outside, while in even a tiny battle? Enjoying between 2 and 20 FPS... It doesn't even go above 20, it's impossible to play. Shelfing this game for the evening, not going to waste my time trying to decipher the slideshow X3.

FPS up, XP down just about sums up my experience.

Other than the random fps dips, I like everything so far.

Beautiful, having a blast. New waprgate location is refreshing, fighting from a different warpgate is almost like a totally new experience. New SMG's are very cool, infiltrators are actually scary up close now. Liking some of the UI changes. Loving the new building/structure changes, a lot more blockages and shades from aerial bombing for defenders.

As for FPS it went up for me. Weird thing is I bumped the quality up, that's when FPS went up.

Oh yeah and best of all, it's like a double exp weekend or something, lots of people playing.
