I haven't played in a couple weeks. Now I go to try and play and the game's frame rate is in the teens (it used to be in the 30s with medium settings and 1920x1080 resolution).
I have updated my driver, no effect. Re-installed the game, no change.
I'm kind of bummed out now. Hopefully it is a game patch issue (messed with the optimization for certain video cards) and will be fixed soon. I run a higher resolution because I play on my television and 720 doesn't display right. I would hate to have to play without the TV on a lower res just to get the game to work now
.
I just don't know what else to try.
Stats:
Alienware M15X
AMD Radeon Mobile 5850 HD
8 GB Ram
i740 Processor

i have a related problem. My fps drops during a match. this first 30 seconds or so i have 35 fps, then suddenly it drops to 15-17 fps an remains there. i tried several graphic settings, its all the same. I also monitored my cpu and gpu as well as ram, all work fine and 8gb ram is enough. i saw 6gb usage max... how can i fix this? there are also NO other processes running when i play, i even turned off my anti virus program.

I figured my problem out. I ignored the most obvious problem.
Stealth Mode...*sigh*. My computer was using the on-board video card instead of the Radeon card. It was odd because the laptop switches between the two if you plug in or un-plug the laptop. My computer had been plugged in so I didn't even think to check it.
Well, at least my video card driver is up to date, but now I need to put all my game setting back in.

Hate to say this, but I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem.
The game has really been running like **** for me since the last patch - I even tried dropping down to low spec (...gross) and still chopped like mad.

One problem of you asking for help is that we have nothing to go on for offering suggestions other than you are having FPS problems.
At a minimum we need to know
CPU - Make (Amd or Intel) and model (A10-6800k, FX-9590, Phenom II x4 black, I5-750, core 2 quad q6600, Pentium G2120) and speed if overclocked (2.9G, 4.2G, 5.7G)
Motherboard - Vendor (Gigabyte, ASRock, Asus, Biostar) and model
System ram - type (ddr1 or 2 or 3), speed, and amount
Operating system - Windows, 32 bit or 64 bit. (Mac, Linux with wine or similar running [might be possible don't know])
Video card - Discrete or Integrated, Make (Nvidia, Amd), and model, amount of Vram, DDR2/3 or GDDR5 type ram
Power Supply - Vendor and/or wattage rating (mainly for those who have upgraded but are having problems getting things to work)
Almost all of the above can be gotten by running CPUID's CPU-Z
http://www.cpuid.com...ns-history.html
and if you are really not into copying the info you can store the results in a txt file and past it into a spoiler (please use a spoiler) however I would not really recommend that as it stores tons more info that what we need to help.)
Just saying "I have an FPS problem" is like telling a mechanic "My car wont start" or a doctor "I have a pain". More info is needed.

Last game I played, it dropped to 8 fps when the action started - impossible to play with it that low.
Thanks to anybody who can help figure out the problem.
