Today's hotfix? Where did my frames go?

    I hate to say it, something went very wrong with this hotfix. Down to 20 frames in a hex with 30ish players total, and my frames are spiking all around, 20's, 30's, etc.

    Sad times.

    same here, spiking frames, a lot of stutter and lots of degradation in performance

    I validated, restarted my PC, and validated, all files were good. Esamir seems to be normal, my issues were on Indar. Running Nvidia 320.49 drivers.

    Im using amd cards , 13.8 drivers .. was working perfectly before , they screwed something up with this hotfix .

    Don't know why they cant test these hotfixes out before they screw up everyone's game .

    Before in small-medium sized battles I got 45-60FPS but know I get 29-30 FPS. I run an i7 2600 and a GTX 680 EVGA Classified. I think my setup is more then enough to play this game. I have also optimized the game as far as it would go with Ambient Occlusion On. I would hate to dread what the hotfix has done to large scale battles know, luckily I haven't gotten into one. But I think because the framerate for this game is getting worse I will take a long break until they (SOE) pull their fingers and put it into full gear.

    just confirmed it was the hotfix, logged onto PTR and its smooth as it always was. VR on live 2-3 people present, stuttery and jumpy, PTR VR 2-3 people there, smooth as butter locked at 60 fps the whole time, soe roll back this hotfix or look into it

    Yesterday my game was running smooth as butter.

    Now I'm getting consistent stutter after this hotfix on all continents. I was just on Amerish with very few people and I get the same effect so not a CPU issue.

    I blame the 8-16 hotfix!!!

    P.S. I just loaded up the test server and it is smooth as ever so again I blame the stuttering issues on the hotfix!!!

    Same here. Was fine before the hotfix, now its almost unplayable, even going below 20 fps in some areas. Nicely done.
  15. Ubad00d

    Yep my frames down, definitely just after the hotfix.
  16. Frostical

    Ah good, not just me then!

    Frame rate? Heck how about warping players, HUD lag, bullets going through players...can these DEVs do anything without breaking 5 others? Not to mention 5 other things that were already broken and fixed 10 times now...I'm starting to lose my desire to play. Not that I can play with half my shots doing nothing and people are appearing out of thin air to blow me away.

    My frames are now spiking over 60 fps to 155 and other crazy numbers with adaptive vsync on. In large battles my system is crippled being bottlenecked by the GPUs.

    I'm running an i7 3930k and 2 4gb EVGA FTW edition GTX 680s in SLI. 20 FPS? REALLY SOE!? 20 FPS!?

    My game was running outstandingly well until this morning.

    Getting a lot of strange GPU bottlenecks in an area with about 5 players.

    *edit* I guess it should be GPU bound when there is a low number of players around, but also getting low/choppy frames.

    They must have left out some kind of optimization from this patch. When nothing is happening, I'm getting my usual framerate, usually 80+, but in any sort of battle my FPS is like half its usual number, between 15 and 20.
