Was flying with Dedalos last night near a Vbase with very few players in the area. (10 max including GVs. prob more like 5-8)
I flew over to steal Dedalos's kill, which according to my squad is what I "do",and the nme got an oil hit.
I now understand what Ded was saying in this thread. Suddenly my fps dropped to near single digits and stayed low until the con died at which time they went right back to max refresh rate.
Happened to Dedalos and me with the same con at the same time with very few nme in the area.
There is something here people.
I am not saying it always happens, but it for durn sure did last night. Normally, heck almost always, when an nme has an oil hit it has no effect on my FPS what so ever. Nothing I ever notice anyway. This was different. AH suddenly went to "Slide Show" mode.
Doubt it is my computer as me and Ded have diff. systems yet the same thing happened to both of us. Sounds more like a bug and this thread should prob. be moved to the Bug Reports.
Could it be the opponent? In the past I have noticed huge FPS hits when I am fighting certain players that goes away the moment they die. I noticed it because it happened over and over in a fight and others around me also commented on it. Soon as that guy dies everything is fine. Is it possible they were doing something that would affect me and Ded's FPS? (no idea what though)
Con was a 109G-2 if that means anything.
Wish I had filmed it.
