I'm (sort of) amazed that they had so many issues with 12v12. When I did the early testing I had no fps issues, but from those tests to final release I got a 10 fps hit. Not serious for me since I was getting 55-60 fps in 8v8 and only dropped to 45-55 fps, but still feels odd when I didn't have that issue earlier.

It feels like PGI is rushing things by doing 2 short term tests for 12v12 lasting only a couple hours each time. More extensive testing over as long as a week before hitting the normal game may be a better idea going forward so we don't see these issues.

Testing things in a test enviroment almost always bring out new and unforseen issues in the live client. It's just the nature of things.

No one complained about fps drops while in the test.

Well, no testing this week, so 3PV will most likely be in next patch day... without any changes to speak of (well, maybe until next Thursday).

Nothing finds bugs like going GA.

But, yeah: The test server was fine, weeks ago …

From what I gather, from those tweets, the Kintaro hero-mech may have caused these issues.

Brings back memories about "don't kill an Atlas" bug, doesn't it?

Yes it was. Kill an Atlas and everyone loses connection due to lowered framerates .

Have you sent in a support ticket?

[Funkadelic Mayhem]

OMG!
THANK YOU PGI!

I can record again.

Hotfix seems to have helped a lot. Before 12v12 I was average 50-60 fps. After patch I was around the 30s and dropping into teens. After hotfix I am average 40-50 which I get after adding 8 mechs into a match.

Oh, HELL YES! My fps is now better than it has ever been (no, that's not exaggeration)!
I don't say this often, but GJ PGI.

In the last test server run, I saw major frame rate hits, even without the kintaro being in the matches, so it wasn't that.

Of course, the thread for test server feedback got locked only two hours after the test server was shut down, so I wasn't able to add my feedback since I was playing on the live server during that period.

I'd suggest that if they only have the test servers up for a few hours (something which they should reconsider), that they really should leave the feedback threads open for at LEAST a day afterwards, preferably until the next test is run. There's not really any point in locking them.

Didn't change anything for me but we had a PGI employee in one of my matches and it seems like most of the hardest hit are seeing improvement based on the comments made in game.

For the most part it seems like the fix is more of an optimization patch for lower end system that allow them to reduce even more of their fidelity and effects so that the game can be made more playable for them rather than a overall fix for the FPS loss in general.

I know I personally was hoping for a fix that allowed me to run everything on max at 55 fps, just like I did pre-patch since prior to the patch I had hopes of running max DX11 at playable rates when it finally came out. Those hopes are now dashed since I can only get barely playable frame rates at max now so there is no way in hell I will be able to get playable DX11 performance.

[Roland]

The new hotfix seems to have improved things for me quite a bit.
