Worth playing on an AMD Radeon HD7640G/7610M + AMD Vision A8 @ 1.9ghz / 2.8ghz turbo quad core now there's been that great speeding up?

I merely ask because I don't wish to download 11GB of updates for naught.

[zombat]

I've noticed a sizeable performance boost.

Getting a constant 60 in the field, was even getting a managable 30 in a large three way biolab fight at andarvi on miller last night.

what I have seen of the patch is the game desiding to stop work after a hour or so, and more stable but slightly lower framerates.

[TolyK]

I get freezes, but it runs much faster for me (very low end machine  ).
I also suddenly started getting a MUCH better K/D (over 1, while before I was 0.3), I guess due to actually being able to aim.

My conclusion? Play with high FPS if you want to do well, and play with low FPS if you want to get better...

[SealyStar]

Good to see that I'm not the only one whose framerates are getting slaughtered by the "optimization" patch. Not really an optimization. Pessimization?

[Flying Dice]

One thing to keep in mind, if you're CPU-bound, is that turning your graphics settings up can actually improve performance, because IIRC a lot of the low graphics settings shunt their load from the GPU to the CPU. I'm running with some of my settings on high and I get better fps than with them all on the minimum.

Remember to disable "Smoothing" in the graphics options. For some asinine reason PS2 has it on by default, despite it being even more obnoxious than Vsync as far as cutting frames to a "stable" level.

With it off I'm hitting 50 fps in most situations, and bottoming out at 40 fps in 48+ 48+ Biolab fights on a i5 3570k at 3.8ghz and an AMD 6850 GPU, which is the limiting factor as it's nearly 3 years old at this point.

[bluejello]

yea, that may be why I havn't seen any increased framerate, it is enabled and I didn't bother disabling it.

[zombat]

Well I've gone from 10 fps in massive battles to 30+, so I'm happy

Had this too. Delete userconfig.ini. Suddenly: Supersmooth.

[Jelle]

Does anyone else have his game crash fairly regularly ever since the optimization? While my performance was rubbish before it, I almost never had my game crash on me. Now though it tends to last half an hour in a hot zone, give or take. Then suddenly without warning screen freezes and the application promptly closes itself.

I really had hoped to play this a lot more again, but at this rate it's just not doable. If anyone else has similar experience do tell, am trying to figure out if it can be helped.

[Knight of Fools]

I've had the opposite experience. Gained ~10 FPS, and the game stopped crashing with any frequency. In fact, I don't think I've crashed since the patch came out.

Best advice I can give is to take it over to the official forums and post your system specs.

[Siquo]

Used to crash a lot (after about 45 mins), then switched to a 64bit OS that actually used all the RAM I had unused....  That fixed that.

[Niveras]

Don't know why I keep loading this up. Any time I try to do something my life expectancy is basically 5 seconds and that's assuming I can see what even killed me. Usually I can't, target acquisition is a bitch. The only certs I seem to get are the 12 for logging in.

Guess I'm just too old for FPS these days. Not that I was ever any good at them even in the Quake days.
