    fps pretty bad each time i roll up on a battle then it seems to depend on witch way i am faceing on the fps drop

    Here's a thought. Maybe come to the realisation as every other serious gamer in the world. Laptops are not good for gaming. Laptops are built on compromises.

    everything looks weird and the minimap looks all gloomy and lame.

    do notice that load times seemed to have improved, but fps did go down during fights but it was not as bad for me as some others it seems. havent tried the new smgs yet but from my experience shotguns are still superior for cqc. smgs seems only good for that 10-20m range where shotguns dont instagib you. But at that distances normal carbines and assault rifles seems to perform just as well.

    The g2a exp buffs is nice. Got about 200 exp from just doing 1 overheat into a galaxy. It seems to only be 20 exp per missile's worth of damage, which is ok but honestly i think it should have been more.

    1 up this again.

    The patch has done wonders, the new defenses in and around the bases and routes from the spawn room are brilliant.

    U mad spawn campers? :D

    Maybe we can make a nice forum for neckbeards like yourself so you can all play with each other, which is what you'll all be doing soon enough anyway.

    Enjoy.

    It's a perfectly valid thing to complain about. I would be upset too if my game went from 30 FPS pre-patch to 5-10 FPS post-patch. Fortunately that's not the case for me but I'm certainly sympathetic of those who can't play.

    Unplayable due to the fps issues. Also not quite sure what to think of the new spawn rooms when A, B or C points is fully visible from the balcony that you cannot reach.

    Well the biggest thing for me was optimization. I personally did not see any gain whatsoever running a i5 2500k and GTX 560. Still getting 30-40 FPS in most fights sometimes dropping into the high 20s.

    A buddy of mine who has been having FPS issues since Day 1 is currently downloading the patch. If his performances hasn't improved, i'm just going to call it quits.

    I uninstalled even before the patch because a witch told me it will suck. I will give her some extra cash later.

    cloaked infiltrators are really easy to see now, at least on low graphics settings... they are shaded blackish grey.

    Explains a lot. So glad we infiltrators get our cloak. Such a useful ability...

    SMG's are beasts in close to the lower end of mid range but are balanced due to the fact that you arn't gonna kill anyone not AFK at any range past that and that the ammo pool gets burnt through at such a quick rate.

    TR TANKS CAN HOLD THEIR OWN WITHOUT A 3:1 ADVANTAGE! Anchored mode is seriously the best thing I have now but getting used to the flatter arc is throwing off my aim a bit. Always tend to overshoot.

    Performance outside of the lag spikes went up, spikes aren't too prevalent for me so I'm fine with it for now.

    The HUD colors take a bit of getting used to, especially for TR. Friendlies are Red? NC are Blue? Had to set it as custom.
    TR=Green, NC= Yellow/Tan, VS= Purple.

    Not used to the TR being south though, kinda throwing me off a bit every now and then. Luckily both other factions are just as confused... Unluckily the TR is still just as focused on taking the friggin crown despite being in a bit of a disadvantage. Though honestly I can't wait to start shelling it from that hill the vanu always had in my anchored Prowler screaming "HOW DO YOU LIKE IT" at whoever holds it.

    Tunnels are awesome and needed but more than a bit confusing and unwieldy to actually use. They do seem to work really well in the engine though so I feel underground/mountain interior bases are coming.

    I will get diapers as soon as possible for you.

    Lost 25-35 fps during battles [cpu] limited with 4.8ghrtz i7... now get 15-25 if I am lucky was a solid 55-60 FPS [gpu] limited before patch, no combination of settings has fixed this for me, also TR SMG is underwhelming and only useful for Infiltrators (whats up with that low damage and crazy recoil?, fired about 80 guns and none have had recoil like that.)
  17. KariH

    Good
    -base rotation
    -new things/buildings etc
    -aa can have now extra points g2a, now squad support is more profitable and sensiblwe
    - feels like a new map

    mixed
    well - infiltraitors can now cloak infrared! I was 15 meters away with Skythe and infil cloaks invisible. Infils sure like this!

    bad
    -framerate(still playable)
    -crashed sometimes (2)
  18. FightingFirst

    Apart from the framerate I really like the changes. Good job if you can fix the FPS issue.

    Before the patch I could run the game on high settings with flora, shadows on low and AC off. Now, I'm having the major fps spikes and stuttering and low fps drops. Definitely a drop in performance for me. And I know my specs are not that great, they're below.

    Patch is pretty good, haven't had the FPS problems alot of others are having. But WTF is up with Lightning turrets are they bugged or what? They slew to the sides slower than molasses, and than all of a sudden take off? I thought maybe they made you move to traverse fast but no, zero consistancy whatsoever. IDK.
