Hi all.

Unlike many arround the forum, my preformance since the patch became worse. I lost about 15 fps, when compared to before, and I've messed with the settings and tweaks, and the problem remains, which makes me think that it's not really my system that's the problem.

My current system is a:

Windows 7 64-bits
6Gb DDR3 Ram
Radeon HD5770 1Gb DDR5 GPU
Intel i5 650 3.20Ghz CPU

Can anyone help me regain preformance?

Also, if anyone has the same problem, it would be nice to know and I would appreciate it, in the case, if you could post your system in order to understand if it's game, or PC related. :)

I'll post again in case you didn't read my edit :)

Edit: did two test's first one with crossfire on
Map was station averaged about 55-65 fps mostly 60 fps and hardly dropped below 55 only went to 55 fps when I wasn't around any objects and was running in open space.

second test disabled crossfire and was running just one card
Averaged 45 fps dropped down to 40 when in open area, but I got as high as 50 fps when near objects, but noticed a lot of stuttering during gun fights and explosions didn't have frame drop just large stutters once people began firing.
I mean 50 fps should be more then playable but soon as people started firing it was real bad.

Funny when i run crossfire this game runs smooth as butter and btw all setting's were on ultra only two things that I notched down is Shadow detail to medium and foilage to medium, blur off.

Thank you. Seeing as you have an incredible processor and still have problems -- but are getting about twice the fps I'm now getting with the same card -- it's looking like a gimp to both the Intel i5-7 series cpu's and the HD 5000 series, especially after reading Konkrypt's post. :(

I am not sure the i5 is to blame, I have seen a lot of people earlier say that they get great FPS and a good portion of them had i5's and i7's. Although I haven't seen anyone with an i5 say they get great frames since the last patch...

I tested a few things such as changing different graphic settings and such. What worked for me was checking the framerate smooth box and not playing at "TE-RedOctoberFactory". That map gives you the creeps. The performance is really bad. Other maps work fine.

I seem to have found a temporary fix to this problem, for ATI users.

Download ATI Tray Tools, and create a profile for RO, by adding the executable. Then, make the AA application controlled, keep the Vsync ALWAYS off, and experience arround with the settings. Although the game looks ****ty now, at least it's playable. :)

But is it actually enjoyable? I won't play ANY game with crappy graphics ... otherwise, why not just spend $300 on a Walmart integrated graphics computer?

What is this supposed to do? :confused:

My game drops to 25fps occasionally and thats simply crap you cant play like this, sometimes its ok.
Often I have 40-50-60 fps but the drops make you unable to aim, try fighting against somebody with an SMG when you have a bolt rilfe and between 0 and 30fps as soon as that guy starts shooting.

I get the impression that the more players there are the more it gets slowed down.
But this also happened on a 32 player server now.

Yeah, last patch I could play quite well, but now it has a lot of micro stutter/unstable fps. Kind of hurts my eyes to play now

Not the best but it should run:

Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601)
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 7750 Dual-Core Processor (2 CPUs), ~2.7GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Card name: ATI Radeon HD 3850 (512Mb)
Manufacturer: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.


I also have a phenom on which I will test the game soon.
