Strange Ro preformance

[gunho]

For some reason Red Orchestra is about the same fps from Very low to MAX. Im capping around 41 fps and av about 20 fps. it getting quite anoying as the fps is getting to low affecting the gameplay. An ideas to why I get the same speed with low and Max?

My computer:

P4 D 3ghz
1 GB RAM
7800GS

Any ideas?

Cheers,

What screen resolution are you playing at?

I wish I could help ya pal but I'm trying to figure this too and I think my rig is much weaker than yours and yet , well.........

AMD Sempron 1.8 gig hrtz (excuse if that abr. is wrong)
1 gig memory
80 gig hard drive
ATI Radeon 9550

RO is the only game I have installed and have 88% free space. I have no AA and no AF, all settings on high with weather effects off. My resolution is 1280 x 1024 @ 75hrtz. With these settings I cap at 50 and average 30 fps. After a lot of playing around and tweaking this seems to be my optimum. Funny thing is, even if I turn down my resolution, I get no increase in performance and the screen actually looks worse. I'm not much of a wiz when it comes to computers so at this point I'm at a loss. But now I'm thinking considering my specs, it might be pretty friggen good. Either way I too am now stumped?

Have you tried using the steam game file defrag function?

Have you tried using the steam game file defrag function?

Where can I find that?

 

[gunho]

Yeh i do this often, it makes no difference. Playing @ 1240x1024, thanx for responses]

Jamer It looks like your Ro is working well with your specs, Your getting 30 fps, av which seems fine. Im getting 20 fps no matter how high or low a setting :S

For defrag

Right click on RO in the steams game list.

Go to properties

Go to Local Files

Defragment cache files.

Any more ideas, dedrag doesnt make a difference

gunho, your probably aware of the tweak guide but anyways, in there after reading a little I found that weather effects used resources and I felt I really wouldn't miss it that much if it improved fps and it did a little. Good luck and I'll keep an eye out to see if I can help you any further. BTW, it was mentioned to me that 1.5 GB ram may help though I cannot confirm that. It does seem you should be running better though with your current specs. Also interesting is last night I was in practice mode fiddling with the sniper scope and noticed on Oddessa with 7 bots a side I was only getting 15 fps. (for what its worth)

 

[Yoshiro]

Have you down a full computer defrag as well?

 

[gunho]

Yeh i often do a system defrag, maybe a setting of some sort?

Cheers for the help

 

[Yoshiro]

try deleting your system folder and then verifying the cache (back up your .ini's if you want to keep em). This will make sure you don't have any corrupt things (hopefully) doing bad stuff to the game.

 

[gunho]

Ive tried it and it hasnt affected preformance. I think im getting a low preformance for Ro and getting no fps difference from low to max, its strange :S

 

[Yoshiro]

There is a chance your .ini's are corrupted. Try deleting them or moving them out of the RO system folder and let RO generate new ones.

 

[gunho]

When i deleted the system folder i didnt keep its ini. I deleted the ini again but nothing has changed still getiing an average fps of 18 from low to max.

Drivers up to date?

I dunno how good your gfx card is, but maybe you got AA or AAF in the driver menu activated. RO does not override the preset settings.

 

[Yoshiro]

Have you tried a clean install of your video card drivers?

ie: Uninstall them, use a program like driver cleaner or nasty file remover to remove left over traces of them, then installing the latest official (or beta) drivers?
