  1. How can a game that runs reasonably smoothly at 45-65 fps offline suddenly go to an unplayable mess at about 22 fps online? These are on Australian servers with good pings at around 40. I tried posting in the troubleshooting board but with no help. I need answers quickly because I have to return the game to EB within a few days if I can't get it working. It's been very disappointing so far unfortunately.

    Is online even playable?

    I put everything on ultra low and still get the same frame rate of around 20-25 and, as I've said many times, this is not playable. This isn't because I'm too stubborn to not accept super smooth gameplay.

    I turn FRAPS off and it seems to be just as bad. I don't even need it to tell me how bad it is. Most games are playable, albeit not amazing, at 20-30 FPS but this isn't at all. You honestly can't shoot a darn thing unless the player is AFK or something.

    I have the latest ATI drivers which I got yesterday. 4870 512mb card 4gb ram e8400 dual core 3ghz This game will definitely get returned to EB. I may get it again when things are fixed.
  5. What gives? I'm getting a good ping of around 50 and manage to get about 40-60 fps in offline play yet only play it seems to be capped at 30 FPS and normally hovers around 25 and is slow as anything. ---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ---------- I changed the settings to very low and I still get bugger all. This really has to be one of the most poorly optimised games ever. It has no fluidity. Crysis looked 10x better and ran 20x better.

    Terrible Online FPS

    Often it's seemed empty. Hard to tell. When you can't even walk without immense lag you give up playing quite quickly. So are you meaning to say that when there are 20 or so active people in singleplayer, my FPS will be just as fucked? Great. This game is definitely getting returned.

    I'm pretty sure that I'd be able to in my opinion. I also think that the FRAPs number of mid 20s is actually wrong. I've played Crysis and other FPS games that have gotten that low yet are still playable. This game at that level is far from it so it seems to be fucked further than just a low frame rate. I can't play. That's why I'm worrying. I go to shoot someone and suddenly they are 5 metres away. There is no sense of fun to it at all and there is no way that it could possibly be playable.

    I get framerates of 20 online in empty servers.

    this isn't playable, trust me. the FRAPS FPS is flattering. I'd have guessed about 10 fps but it's apparently 22.

    FRAPs says i'm getting 22fps roughly but I'd say less. Choppers don't seem to fly backwards but they stutter terribly. People stutter a lot too. Everything is laggy. It seems much more laggy than regular games at 22 fps. I'm on Vista 32 bit. at one point the frame rate was a bit higher but seemed to be capped at 30. It would fluxuate between 25 and 30 frequently but never pass 30.

    I'm on a slightly better rig but still getting shocking online performance. Dual Core e8400 (3ghz) 4 gb ram 4870 512 mb ddr5

    How to show FPS

    Do you really need a digit in the top corner to tell you how shit the frame rate is?

    I was told by someone that the server sets certain things like draw distance so that it's an even playing field. If it makes it like 10k then everyone suffers.

    Terrible Online FPS

    I run medium-high settings on singleplayer. multiplayer settings look about the same quality. i use FRAPS but my eye can tell me how laggy it is too
  15. I just picked up this game because I'd heard good things. Is there any requirement to have played the originals story wise? Will you appreciate it more that way?
