to all the pug teams having to drop with me on the new river city and forest colony map.
most of the time i disconnect due to:

game freezes for several seconds,
game + sound freezes
system freezes,
fps drops down to 5-10, in the next moment 40 again
crazy shaking reticule
mwo not reacting anymore

why are those problems only related to the new maps? i mean, it is not like we have a graphic revelation here. to me it just seems to be pretty bad optimized.
i have run the repair tool twice in one month, not sure what else i can do. for the guys claiming to buy a better rig: nope, everything else runs fine.

so as long as i have those probs on these maps I will have to forfeit the matches.

anyone else with those problems?

Not on the new maps no. Some of the Galaxy maps have a memory leak or two for sure somehow. Im not sure the details. But the new maps run great.

Can this game be optimized more? Likely. But the problem is likely on your end though. The new maps combined with detailed mechs and gameplay make for a demanding game for hardware.

Not at all - smooth as butter for me.

What DX version are you running? I've heard reports of less crashes if you run under DX11.

Also, deleting your shader cache strangely helps with all sorts of weirdness.

Maybe related to destructible terrain, which is not in any of the other maps.

DX11. I will try your shader advice.

Are you using AMD/ATI? I've found this game runs far better on the Intel/Nvidia side of the equation than on comparable hardware otherwise. Pretty sure they targeted this game at the i7/GTX blend, and if it's not that mix, the performance suffers.

Some games just push high textures and makes a video card the only must have, but maybe your CPU isnt up to the games needs?

[JayKay17]

What is the difference between the old map and the new ones.
The new ones are big, really big and have quite a handful of new grahic goodies.
So maybe you have a memory shortage problem.
How much graphic memory does your grahic card have ?
How much system memory you got ?
Are you running other software besides MWO that uses some or much of your system memory ?

Need system specs from you to help.

[lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol]

My advice is try running the game with other DX versions as well. For whatever reason in DX9 my game would over time begin to have delays in the mechbay while equipping things, and then cause everything to freeze up and crash either then or if I was in a drop.

Somewhere there is a thread or webpage about how to best optimize your MW:O graphical settings and what they do... can't seem to find it atm.

But yeah when in doubt of the issue, try everything. Turn everything down and off and bump up the settings from there. Hell it might even be something to do with sound or music. Don't know if you have dedicated Graphics card or Sound card but if not maybe the issue could be with that. The game is very CPU demanding. You never know.

support@mwomercs.com is your friend. Also, they'll want your DXDiag.

C'mon, OP. Give us a hardware dump. We can help you until we see some stats.

That is odd. Did you just upgrade to Windows 10 by any chance?

I'm assuming your videocard drivers are up to date. I'd try going into the repair utility and clearing out your shader cache. Drop everything shadow-related in your settings to a minimum. In fact, might be worth it to set everything to a minimum just to rule out the possibility that a graphical setting isn't mucking with your performance.

After that, run the game and leave task manager up. See if you get any process spikes.

several month ago i used sweet fx, but it changed the colors too much. performance was better than. maybe i ll give it another try.

Thats really odd, should be running fine. What resolution to you play on. With Full-Hd (1920 x 1080) it should perform well enough, with any higher resolution ???

I have major problems with my FPS when i get down around the shore line in the new Forest Colony....

Once i start walking on the rocky part of the shore before i hit water...my FPS tanks to about 12 fps...once i leave there back to 60.


Its got some problems as well....its not so great.

I've noticed this exact same issue.
