My laptop spec:
I5 2.5Ghz@2.9Ghz in Turbo mode 2 cores with 4 threads
6GB 1600Mhz ram
7650 AMD Radeon 2GB
750GB HDD

Old launcher settings:
1366x768
all detail low , only textures very high , lowest fps 35, average 45fps

Nnew Launcher ui 2.0
1366x768
all detail low even textures low , lowest fps 10 average 15

cant play like this anymore , my laptop have 1 year and its not so bad , i can play other games in max setings even or very new games like crysis 3 or assasin creed 3 on medium detail with way better graphic then mwo on lowest settings , with that super bad textures on low settings.

tried evrything , disabled not needed process , setup pc performance to : max performance.

game is running on radeon for sure not on intergated intel graphic.
Game profile is max performance (if i setup power saving then it launch on intel graphic card)

any ideas?

PLEASE Let me know if you find a fix!!!! I'm having the same problem.... 45-50ish FPS before now in the middle of a battle, i lock up at 1-2 FPS. I really like this game but if this is how its gonna be i cant play anymore.

[Goose]

For reasons I can only guess at, Medium and Low setting(s) for both Particles and Shadows are bass ackwards: If you where getting by on LOW in the main settings, you have to go into Custom and set them to to Medium.

I should think a fix for that will come Real Soon Now™, but who know what'll be rated as a HotFix?

all what ur spec i have old phenom 945 , 560ti 2gb im run all at ulra 1080p with AA at 60~45 fps

[Tigerz]

I seem to be having the same fps issues as everyone else, I even called my internet provider and bitched them out thinking it was on my end... But I think some solutions may be in the increase of detail an increase of detail settings such as option to turn off shadows or missile trails. I too have recently come to really enjoy this game I would hate to have to quit playing due to lack of performance issues (not what she said).

[JudgeDeathCZ]

After update i had like ~10 fps down from 40-50ish and nothing helped me to get them back so I reinstalled and whoa! my FPS are back where they used to be be4 update.I do not know what is wrong with this game but it seems like reinstall can solve a lot of problems

[Amarock]

Perhaps i will do the same ... the first time fps was so bad cant play, just now it is on 18-33, with most times 18-25 on low settings ... i am unhappy.

[DragonsFire]

For those of you seeing lower performance after this patch, try changing your Video settings drop down selection. Set it to Medium manually and save. You may have to try a few settings but this has fixed the FPS issue for a number of folks.

It seems the drop down menu is not corresponding correctly to actual graphics settings.

OK Guys I am with you,

I have a Geforce GTX 690 (!). Before Patch I was play in high and verry high 5760x1080 (three monitors) with 55-60 FPS.
Now I have 17 FPS and the Settings are all low :-((((
If i go to high settings, I have 7 FPS.
I have tried everything and I know the possibility settings of CryEngine.
No chance, the game is at the moment
UNPLAYABLE!
I like MWO, and I am one of those guy who was defend PGI every time, but now....
We don´t must accsept this, and I send PGI a support ticket, because I have premium time activated, and can not play.
But I think that the mail-Server of PGI is going down.

OK this is crazy , on my PC i see FPS INCRASE after that ui2.0
My PC also have AMD Radeon card's

8GB 1600MHZ patriot viper extreme ram

Thanks, that actually helped. I also set all sliders to a minimum of "Medium" in the video settings. Framrate is stable now.

[Shamoth]

I havent mentioned about changing in game settings to lowest plausible because i thought it was obvious ;]
Im happysad it helped, because situations like this shouldnt be here after almost 2 years of "development"... every option to tweak performance/look should be in game...
Long time ago we were experimenting with Colonel Pada Vinson some tweaks and results were very promising but after launch all posts were wiped i think. Now he is focused on pushing look to the limits without heavy load to the rig.
Every time i come back to this PGI "product" my heart is bleeding and after a week i have no more heart to this, so i backed off...
To bad that nowadays so many fine titles/product is turning into horse dung so easily, i think that old art of making diamond out of shit is gone for good in those times of money sucking...

1st: change the video mode to fullscreen if you used to play that way. This will give you your FPS back. The patch has changed it to full window by default!

2nd: PGI has restricted some CVars within the patch and screwed up the performance sliders. E.g. disabling shadows won't work anymore by setting it to low, because e_Shadows is set to 1 by default and restricted for change - ^^ rofl) ... so wait for a fix.

I have to correct the 2nd statement:
The issue is that the sliders in "Advanced Video Options" are broken.
The settings Low to Very High have internal numbers 1 to 4.
Within the UI2.0 the sliders got 0 to 3 assigned. Any number ouside the range [1..4] means "use default" - default is 3 ... so setting 0 gets the same like 3
So now the sliders behave like:
Low = default (High)
Medium = Low
High = Medium
Very High = High
For now you can NOT set the true "Very High" ... so wait for the fix.

I saw this hint enywhere in the forums and can confirm this now after some tests.

Ok, here my solution,
hope it helps someone.
After I have reinstalled the whole Client (5GB) everything work correctly.
With UI2.0 everything change. If you have a tweak like user.cfg or maybe sweatFX settings, this never work again.
Deinstall and reinstall the Client, choose the settings only wit the client, and it will work.

OK, all that remains is this beautifully unusable UI2.0 frontend. But this is a other story ;-)

Kindly,

Maddog

Why the heck would the lock down the e_shadows does it stop a cheat? I don't think so. noobs
