Performance problems in FPS

[Adrian]

Hi Community,

Due to some user's reports indicating that after the last update they suffer sudden FPS (Frames Per Second) low downs, I'd like that all of you experiencing this problem leave a constancy of this issue leaving some information about your PCs:

Processor:
Video Card:
Operating System:

Processor: Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz
Video Card: Nvida GeForce 7300GO
Operating System: Linux, openSUSE 11
RAM: 1GB 667 MHz

Whenever I am near a fort with many players I get frequent fps lag spikes lasting 2-4 seconds where my image totally freezes.
Enabling Safe Mode increase the performance, but small freezes are still noticable.
I did not have this problem before the update.

I don't know if it helps, but during these lag spikes my gameplay ping goes crazy while my server ping remains calm.

Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 8600,
OS: Windows Vista,
RAM: 2GB 539 MHz.

Before the update I could hunt at 40 - 60 FPS, if not more. Wars / hunts etc. were NO problem. The only time I would lag was if I got server lag, or if I had been at a fort war for ages.

After the update I'm at ~20 FPS at all times, if I see other players that then lowers to ~15, and at fort wars it INSTANTLY drops to ~7.

I have never realy been brilliant =/ im normaly around 30 FPS in fisgeal 3-4 if im lucky and at a large fort war (mostly herberd) i dont have a fps i have a slide show of every 4-5 seconds. Hunting im normaly fine, hope this helps and if this

Intel Core 2 Duo , 2.40 GHz

790MHz 1.98GB RAM

NVidia GeForce 8600M GT

Before update I would get around 40-60FPS "normally" with all graphics on high, and antialiasing 1x Antistropic 4x. After update I got over 100FPS "normally" with the same settings, but several times I had major freezes where FPS dropped to 2 and lower. The freezes happened over about a 10 minute period, and don't seem to happen anymore.

since a few updates ago (I think it was the tunic paint & fatigue one) I kept experiencing sudden fps drops in medium and bigger fights under linux. Fps drop from 60 down to 1 very suddenly, I can't even exit the game in a normal way. It never got better with the following updates. Additionally fps will drop to about one half if I switch from full screen and back and not recover

So I'm currently playing under Windows again, with bad (since the newest update) but at least constant fps, the big memory leaks and the 5 min to exit the game is really annoying.

my hardware:
Core 2 Duo 1.86 Ghz
1 GB ram , 667Mhz
Ati mobility radeon x1300
and Opensuse11.0 or XP sp2

could NGD maybe make some kind of diagnosis tool which records possible reasons of fps drops/other strange effects, so the community can better help you to fix the problems? For example I'd really like to know if my problems are really my problems or NGD's

I'm gonna test it on my laptop too, and let you know if things are any better on it which is dual-core.

ATI Radeon Xpress 1100
896 MB RAM (+128MB shared memory for ATI)
WinXP Mutlimedia Edition

Edit: At Fort fights or if bigger groups (firends or foes) are near, my FPS drop down to almost 0.
Settings are on lowest, except that of the specials the partical effects are on. Sounds is switched off during playing.
When i am just running around my FPS is between 15 and max value seen so far 55. But normally around ~23FPS in a not crowded area
