Title: OzKansas FPS hit.....
Post by: flyingaround on August 19, 2004, 11:39:39 PM: Anybody else lose 10-15fps on the new map? I was just barely able to fly with a decent (read. 20-40fps) on the other maps, but on OZ it's 10-30, and that's bad. Makes cv landings interesting at 7pfs. Could some of the "junk" or eyecandy be taken out?

Just me?

p.s. WOOT HT on the new changes. All good ideas!

Or in the smaller fights scattered along the edges?

No real change noticed here.

Post by: Shane on August 20, 2004, 07:24:20 AM: it's even noticeable away from furball island... there are simply too many strats in proportion to bases. strats that serve very little purpose other than to drain fps.

Post by: Zanth on August 20, 2004, 08:33:49 AM: I did not notice the game playing any differently, but I must confess I have not looked at the FPS display either.

I wasn't planning on spending any money on upgrading, the game ran "good enough" already. Then almost by accident I ran across a 2 gig processor and motherboard combo on ebay for a little over a 100 bucks brand new in box. Ebay has some great deals, I know it can be time consuming and risky but worked out for me (this time).

Anywhere ghosth. When attacking/defending a base w/ 3-4 on each side, I lose 10fps easy. If it's a furball of any size, it get's VERY stuttery. By myself takin' off/landing on a cv, it's under 10fps (makes for fun landings w/ oil on windscreen at 7fps), where it is normally 15-20. I just think there is a tad 2 much "stuff" on this map (barges, misc. eye candy etc).

I actually like all the strat objects. A loss of 5-10 fps is justified. The center island actaully feels inhabited , not a barren wasteland like most GV areas.

Post by: Edbert on August 20, 2004, 01:05:18 PM: Minus 5 maybe 10 fps, not noticeable unless the crtl-I was on though. Not new to AH2 either, this map had it in AH1 as well.
