• How had the patch generally affected your performance?

Very poorly, nearly unplayable now.

• Whether there are specific points in the game when your performance changes.

Terra Therma is exceptionally bad, seeing single-digit fps at some points, also continuing to have a massive loss in fps when the HUD is loaded (persistent issue)

• What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch?

Low, no

• Average FPS ingame and in the menus for previous patch and latest patch (Press F9 to see your FPS)

Ingame: 15-25 now, 25-35 previously. Menus: approx. 60fps previously, sub 50fps now.

Toaster-tier rig:
Athlon 2.8ghz dual core

There is a extreme delay in game, I'm getting shot with no enemies(or even teammates) around.
Unplayable.

Performance has decreased drasticly on my rig:
AMD FX-8350
2x GTX 660 (SLI off because MWO doesn't even support that)
16GB DDR3 RAM @1600Mhz Corsair Vengeance

*lol, selflike is possible in this forum ?!?

• How had the patch generally affected your performance?

FPS hit rock bottom.

• Whether there are specific points in the game when your performance changes.

Anytime I look at another mech or weapons fire. If I'm just cruising and seeing terrain its fine.

• What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch?

Very high, I have not touched them.

• Average FPS ingame and in the menus for previous patch and latest patch (Press F9 to see your FPS)

Previous patch ~60 for both. This patch ~60 for menu, 20-30 and very jumpy in game

I've always been of the mind that my lowish fps is due to having only E8500 dual core and 4 gigs of DDR2. My gpu is GTX670. But now I'm not so sure anymore. There are people here with a lot faster quad cores and double the mem in DDR3 having bad performance issues while my game runs pretty good everything cranked up to maximum and some more forced on in drivers. Weird...

Also my game runs better today than it did yesterday.

All this makes me think that maybe it's not client side, really. Perhaps the servers get too crowded and cannot feed the clients with data fast enough. Clients have to wait and that drops the frame rate. Would this make any sense?

[arghmace]

In another thread someone said that only 1 of his 8 cpu cores was doing the job. Maybe there's something here? Latest patch caused problems with multiple cores? I just checked and both of my dual cores are working, though. At 100%.

Hey everyone.

Just a quick update; we've been regressing and profiling and have reproduced the performance drop in our test lab. So far we have reason to believe there is a link between specific GPU's, amount of vram on the GPU, the number and type of mechs, and the dynamic mech damage system.

Needless to say, once we have a confirmed fix, it will definitely be hot patched to production as fast as we can manage it.

Sorry for the troubles, and many thanks to those of you who submitted dxdiags and helped us narrow down this issue quicker.

Thanks for working hard on finding the problem . Can't wait to test the next patch and hopefully be able to play again

All 4 of my Core i5 750 cores are working as well. This must be limited to some configs or certain CPUs.

I really wish people didn't have to dig through the developer tracker to find stuff like this. This is the kind of **** that needs its own thread in Command Chair.

Either way, update appreciated.

Thanks for the update Karl. I know you guys work hard on this even if the forum trolls don't think so
Can't wait for the fix to come through. Good luck to yall on getting it done.

[Royalewithcheese]

The performance issue seems to get worse with alternate vision modes - or at least it does for me.

[Hellen Wheels]

I have to chime in and agree with the "it is now unplayable" folks.

I didn't think it could get any worse, but PGI, you have taken the cake for proving me wrong this patch.

Absolutely unplayable. If you don't fix this...and quick...you'll have a fiasco on your hands besides which the MPBT:3025 fiasco will pale in comparison.

Utter nonsense.

... when you hotpatch, please revert the c-bill to pre-nerf levels.

Hey, I think I dropped against you a couple of maps ago! Too bad to hear it's still not working

Thank you. Please post this in announcements, an apology for the fustration goes a long way to settle rattled nerves. Now about that Cbill nerf...

[Zphyr]

- How had the patch generally affected your performance?
Losing nearly half the FPS, random teleports, sometimes screen freezing that last several seconds up to nearly a minute, generally lots of lag, horrible hit detection.

- Whether there are specific points in the game when your performance changes.
It's more noticeable when there are more than a couple mechs around, specially when fighting.

- What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch?
My computer? No. This game? Had to set particles to "high" because that's the only way to see the missile trails, even if that decreases FPS... no choice, thank you very much.

- Average FPS in game and in the menus for previous patch and latest patch.
In game: 9 - 18.
Menu: 20 - 30.

- Your advertised internet connection speed / Geographic location:
100 Mbps optic fiber. Portugal, Europe.

How had the patch generally affected your performance?
My FPS dropped, the FPS meter also does not seem to be reporting correctly as my framerate seems to be low but the FPS meter still shows around 25fps

Whether there are specific points in the game when your performance changes.
The biggest and most noticeable drop in FPS is on the forest colony map, any of those maps have a sever drop in performance for my PC

What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch?
They were set to medium prior to patch, after patch they are now set to low
I have been able to bump particles up to high, textures up to medium now with only small changes in FPS

Average FPS ingame and in the menus for previous patch and latest patch (Press F9 to see your FPS)
ingame: 19 to 55 with an average of about 20 after lowering settings, still able to run 1600x900, max for my screen

System specs (You can include them in a [spoiler] [ /spoiler])

[Brett Collins]

Same issues as above, playing on all low settings. Game is unplayable. Guess I'll wait till NEXT Tuesday.

• How had the patch generally affected your performance?

For me it's not longer playable! 60 Fps in the Menu, but only 8-10 Fps during game! Even with lowest graphic settings the framerate is bad!

• Whether there are specific points in the game when your performance changes.

The Fps ist bad right at the beginning, firefights make it worse.

• What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch?

1920x1200, medium settings, absolute no changes since last patch

• Average FPS ingame and in the menus for previous patch and latest patch (Press F9 to see your FPS)

Didn't look before.
