I guess this is best place to put it, although it might not have to do with the patch.

Someone told me he got lower fps when teamspeak is running.

I try it in the main menu, normally capped at 30-ish, with teamspeak it's running 60, very strange, tried it about 5 times, with teamspeak 60, without 30. It's def doing something to the game.

then I dropped in the testing grounds, got to a place with 2 mechs in view, moved the mouse from left to right.

With teamspeak: 120 fps
Without teamspeak: 150 fps.

20% fps drop isn't nice.

Are you using an overlay such as Overwolf? Team speak shouldn't impact frame rates but an overlay may.

[Flapdrol]

no overlays whatsoever, even turned off all the plugins.

are you running team speak as administrator?

I would think it would cause a latency issue running TS along with MWO... I know Mumble is a bit better at keeping lag in check v. TeamSpeak when gaming.

tried both in admin mode and without, no difference.

latency wouldn't be an issue in the testing grounds though.

[Grendel408]

No it shouldn't be... I was just referring to the difference between TS and Mumble... the FPS drop seems strange as hell.

[Flapdrol]

I noticed mumble has a much smaller drop. It does the same thing in the menu though.

Then I closed the animated message on teamspeak, the one that scrolls by from left to right, that seemed to lower the drop significantly. No clue how to turn it on agian, so cant test properly.

Did you notice the 'drop' happens when he IS NOT running TS?

and latency shouldn't impact your frame rate.

did you try just minimizing team speak, so the window isn't open at all while playing? As opposed to leaving it open in the background, that is. Don't close team speak obviously, just minimize the window before launching/switching to MWO.

Also, do you have MWO running in full screen, or a full screen window? Does that make a difference?

[Flapdrol]

minimizing is worth a shot.

I run mechwarrior (and all my other games) fullscreen. Full window causes extra latency, can't have that in a game that already slows down so much in a brawl.

mumble causes the same strange behaviour in the main menu by the way.

No, read agian carefully. In-game he has a drop of 20% with TS on, in the "garage" screen he somehow manages to experience an increase in FPS with TS on.
