I have also noted that the game uses a maximum of 900MB or so of my RAM and generates a crapload of pagefaults. I happen to have 12GB of RAM and if the game is hardcoded not to use more than one and spends cycles reading from disk, then the code needs to be looked at.
I think that most gamers today use more than 1GB of RAM...

Oh boy.

Major /facepalm

I have had suspicions that the game is wasting cycles, or streaming data from the hard-drive. That is the only possible explanation for the horrible stuttering and FPS drops. The game uses 1GB or RAM? Really? You guys should fire your coders AT THE SPOT because 'optimizing' the game to use only 1GB of RAM wont make it go any faster or run smoother on older systems if it has to waste cycles doing that or stream data from the HDD...

I discovered something mind boggling today. Hit F9, turn off the hud (rightshift+f11), and watch the framerate increase (as far as 20fps in some areas). Do the devs know about this?

My performance story:
Until recent patches my experience was fun but frustrating. Ranging from 10-30 FPS all on low and such. I was having the 4 FPS issue every 5-10 matches, numerous black screen or other screen issues, and generally seeing a whole lot of slide shows. I was running an AMD Athlon 2 X2 250, Nvidia 550Ti, with 4g ddr2 800. After the most recent patches I had not had the 4 FPS issue nearly as often, say 10-20 matches, but over all lower performance. I was only getting 8-20 FPS.

Well for the low price of $85 I bought a Phenom 2 X4 965 Black. Problem solved. Getting 35-50 FPS on medium settings. Haven't had a bad screen all weekend. The game just eats dual cores for breakfast.

I have installed the game newly after the beginning of the Open-Beta. Since this the frame rate breaks in strongly on about 4-6 fps as of third or fourth mission. When i played the last once in the Closed-Beta, there was no problem.

* How had the patch generally affected your performance?

5 FPS drop (from 30-40 to 20-30)

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

near objects, other mech, combat

* What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch/installation?

custom/no

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

menus: 55, ingame, see above

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

W_XP 32bit, SP3, core I7-3770K, 4BG ram, GTX285

* Your advertised internet connection speed / Geographic location

2K, Germany

Running 1920x1080 on both setups I run on average 12 to 40 FPS on Forest, 18 to 50 FPS on Caustic, 20 to 40 on Frozen, and 20 to 40 on Frozen night.

I even used one of my older Crusial M4 64GB SSD's for MWO Only.. No change.

Drivers are up to date everything is default, every other game runs either 100 FPS or higher, the CryEngine SDK runs at 100+ fps on my GTX 680, and about 70 FPS on my 6970.

Boarderlands 2 is well over 100+ FPS

Metro 2033 is Well over 100+ FPS

MWO Is the ONLY GAME, I can't get passed 40 FPS.

I did come across one thing, While waiting for the match to start I will be between 60 to 120 FPS, but when the game starts, down to 12 FPS then up to 40 then back down to 13 and up to 50, it's ALL OVER THE PLACE.


Asus Crosshair V 990FX

AMD 8120 oced to 4.5ghz and AMD 8350 OCed to 5.2Ghz

AMD 6970 2GB and nVidia GTX 680 4GB

Corsair Dominator 32GB PC2133

4x Corsair neutron 240GB SSD's

Ok, I did a complete overhaul of my machine.

Same hardware, using Windows 8 enterprise this round.

SAME PROBLEM!!!!!!!!

All my other games and benchmarking programs have gotten 10 to 20 FPS boosts.

But MWO, is a different beast, I have tested at Low, Med, High, and Very High, nothing really changes.

I can only hope something comes down the line tomorrow, then again PGI is to damn busy putting resources "looking into 3rd person".

just tried it did nothing for me

[The Sliencer]

For what its worth....

Core i5 3570
8GB DDR3 1600
Radeon HD7850 (12.10 driver)
Windows 8 Pro 64bit

1920x1200, "high" game presets (including Vsync). 60fps nominal with a low of 40fps (somewhat lower if the field of view is filled with another mech or particle effect). Never crashes though. No performance degridation over the course of an hour or so.

The fps issue for dual cores has NOT BEEN ADDRESSED!

i have to agree with Beg4Black on that point.

and when are you going to set up some eu severs i'm sick of trying to hit people with pings of under 100 what are you lot playing at.
and about the camo you should be able to grind for all types and patterns not just the basic.

Correction:

Just found out that Far Cry 3 runs on a different engine hence the comparison is close to irrelevant. Also while I am running FC3 on Ultra I only use 2xMSAA. MWO is already a great game and soon will be even better.


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXPrevious Comment -only for recordXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Since I can't chose the map that loads a comparison is difficult but across the board I perceive an increase in performance.

I tested both high and very high settings. Initially I am somewhere between 55-70 fps. Average in game 30-50 fps, just in certain instances, like when looking at smoke the fps drops drastically. So please continue to work on it. Running crossfire 7970 and playing Far Cry 3 on maxed out settings, things should run smoother. Good luck!
