How about we add another option for hit detection because hit detection is still not working right with what seems to be every single weapon. I have a really low ping, sub 50 consistently yet my hit detection is terrible.

How had the patch generally affected your performance?
More stable than last but lost 10FPS im now in the 10-20FPS range
AND TO GET THE 10-20 FPS I HAD TO USE A user.cfg WITH EVERYTHING DISABLED AND IN EXTRAFREAKINGLOW

Whether there are specific points in the game when your performance changes.
Whenever particles are involved, this means the smoke coming out of mech, alive or dead, muzles flash, hit sparks and pretty much everything that happens when YOUR IN A BATTLE, THIS GAME´S SOUL
If i just look at the sky i get 60FPS, yay......

What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch?
No nothing except the patches (yes plural)
Before the latest patches i got 30-40FPS, consistent and with no user.cfg just the low settings with 1280x720

Average FPS ingame and in the menus for previous patch and latest patch (Press F9 to see your FPS)
Mechlab 30-35 Ingame 10-20

So far the Patch seems a good one, I'm based in the UK.

My Rig is : AMD X3 720 2.8Ghz OC'd to 3.3Ghz,
8Gb DDR3 Corsair,
AMD Radeon HD 7770 OC'd to 1150Mhz on he core and 1400 on the memory. (These clock numbers are for Devs, I'll take no responsibility if you cook you GPU )

My Average FPS is in the high 40's dropping to high 30's in game, running Maxed details in 1280 / 1024 resolution.
65 Fps ish in Mechlab / Menus. I've not changed any settings for quite a few patches.

I still get some flickering in Frozen city but Im sure that'll get ironed out. Smoke seems to knock the Frames by about 5-10 Fps depending on how much there is.

Still getting Lag spikes where the game seems to desync / freeze then jumps back after 10-30 seconds or so...

Happy bug hunting peeps

P.s. Forgot to say Win7 32bit. Oh and Broadband 8 Mb up/down or something close to that.. Ping is 100.

The 16.07 seems to have killed my performance. I was playing fine on medium, even on high settings athough i prefered medium so i suffer no fps drops in the heat of battle. Now i went to all Low and sometimes drop under 30 fps. My rig is not the fastest but still this performance is unaccapteptable. I am on a QX 9650 3 ghz quad with 4 gb dual channel 800mhz Ram and a AMD radeon HD 9750 ice Q 2 gb from HIS. Virtually every other game i can max out. What is happening here?

[B0oN]

Hitregistration is very random due to pings above 100ms.
Get us these EU servers rather quick, please, I hate the disadvantage from ping and HSR randomness.

[MavRCK]

Significant drop in FPS last 2 patches.. from average 80s to 60s... i reinstalled the game because I went into the 30s after patching and it felt unplayable.

After reinstall game still drops into the 40s... better than previous patched version... but not the 80s i had previous..

( to clarify 80s not streaming... 60-70s streaming..)

Same system as before:

late 2012 imac 680gtx mx ssd etc etc win7

Rubber banding issues (move, then find myself teleported to a different spot) have rendered the game unplayable. This is a new problem for me... starting with this patch.

[RavensScar]

I seem to be getting a significant drop in FPS when at maximum zoom.

I'm normally at about 40-50 FPS, occasionally dropping to 35 during a heavy brawl.

When at maximum zoom I seem to lose about 10 FPS. During combat this can drop me to under 30 FPS.

[Vimeous]

Games early this morning (BST) ok but last few have been a mess.
Last 3 starts were AFTER the rest of the mechs moved off and stuttery gameplay throughout.
No change in ping so something in-game has caused it.

New problem for me. I've never seen it like this.

[Rippthrough]

I'm getting a return of the FPS bug after 15-20 games, memory leak again or something similar, however, ONLY when thermal is engaged.

[TexAce]

Hell whats up with the hit registration at the moment. Half of my shots are misses although they are placed PERFECTLY. You screwed something up in the last days.

[Raz Cal]

It seems that hit detection has got a lot worse with the last patch. Hits on my screen doesn't equate to damage on enemy mech.

[Tarby]

Hit registration is screwed up. Get the hit visuals but no hit indicator or damage done. Massive amounts of lost connections and server disconnects.

I have been getting d/c's quite a bit today. 3 at least. And a few yesterday. Any reason why this should be happening? Game even crashed twice.

[DoktorVivi]

Lots of hit reg problems and I'm constantly getting the black screen then booted back to mechlab when I try to connect to a map. It'll work for a couple matches and then boot me for the next couple. Really annoying.

[Tolkien]

Hit detection has been a little weird for a month now.

The most common time I notice the problem is when I will fire a large ballistic weapon like an AC20 or a Gauss rifle at a slow or stopped assault mech.

I normally aim for the centre of mass of a mech since I am not the best shot, and confirmation is often the shower of sparks visual effect flying off their armor from a good hit.

The problem is their paperdoll sometimes doesn't register anything and/or the cursor does not turn red.

These are not small fast moving mechs either, these are slow or stopped atlases and stalkers.

The only constructive comment/question I can insert into the debate is to ask if HSR is rewinding the torso twisting of mechs, or just their position?

A final thought about adding servers to other parts of the world to fix this is that my real life friends are in NA and I will be quite sad if I can't play with them any more, so please make server selection an optional thing. Also, my ping is only 120 which is good enough to play counterstrike on and that is a much faster moving game - this makes me pretty comfortable saying there are bugs in the HSR/hit detection of this game.

I could not take the poll because it is mostly aimed at comparing the past version to this one. My answers are base more on allthe versions I have tried since I have been here.

What is your average FPS? (Press F9 during Gameplay)
9-13. This is on the lowest graphics settings.

How does your FPS compare with the previous versionS?
At best some patches ago it was 15-20 so it has gotten worse and stayed there.

What is your average Ping?
55-65.

How does your ping compare with the previous versionS?
Worse, I used to have an average ping of 35-45. Now at times I have even spiked up to 100-130, a couple of recent patches had me stuck at those high spikes until the next patch/hotfix.

And now the question not asked.

What was your worst FPS/Ping experience to date?
Today, had a few decent games then went into Frozen City and had a spike at start up to 600 ping plus rubberbanding. Took several minutes for it to go away.

[KKRonkka]

Hit detection sucks, I would like to remove light mechs until this is fixed. Enough nearly immortal Spiders which doesn't give a **** when hit by weapons. Light mech hitboxes and hit detection has been a critical issue since the beginning so WHY KEEP BROKEN FEATURES IN THE GAME if there are no fixes coming. Anything that goes 120+km/h and has JJ's causes Problems with capital P.

Game seems to crash quite often when compared to previous versions. Just got two crashes in a row when loading the map.

[Xandre Blackheart]

Game is unplayable.
several times EVERY match, 5-6 second freezes.
No problems until this latest patch.

I don't see any stability at all this patch except except for not dropping.

Frankly I'd rather drop that have my zombie mech stumble along in a straight line for 5 seconds every 2-3 minutes.

I've done the fix. I've turned down all settings. I've decided that it's just not worth playing anymore.

I'll submit a ticket to support, but I have no real hope for a solution until maybe they fiz some crap next patch. Or make it worse. Who knows.
