I have:
Radeon 9600 pro
Athlon 2500+
1 Gb RAM
The thing is, my FPS doesn't change a bit if I put low or high settings. This is quite annoying, while I'm still getting FPS from 20-50, but it still does lag sometimes and I can't do anything about it. Hopefully Tripwire will do something about this!
I still like the game, though.
This is the same for me.
My FPS is everything between 15 to 80. it's really annoying and it was not like this before..
The worst thing is that i have recently upgraded my computer with additional 512MB ram, and a new soundcard but it is worse than before? i seldomly dropped belove 25 FPS before.
My hardware is.
Hightech Radeon 9600xt 256MB
Amd Sempron 3000
1.5 GB DDR Ram pc3200
Soundblaster 24
Running games like Day of Defeat source with directx level 9 do not give under 40 FPS, Brothers in Arms: Earned in blood (same engine) does not run under 50 FPS, even Quake4 runs much smoother.
If TW refuses to realize that this is an issue with RO then they really are dessapointing me, or atleast they need to check with ATI/Nvidia if theres something fishy going on.
I remember that Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill30 had a problem with ati's driver optimations for that game, if you had the ati drivers installed a workaround was to rename bia.exe to something else and you would have a normal FPS..
Is there anychance that ATI/Nvidia drivers optimizes red orchestra as a source engined game? hence making things only worse?
Please tripwire, look into this, get some support from ati/nvidia if needed.
another thing, people have not stated what chipset they are using, it can be a issue with the chipset drivers to..
my computer chipset is via, and i use the latest 4in1 drivers.
