thats $550 canadian there joe & im working on it. freak:

[JBird]

so basically im shit out of luck then. i guess i will try only playing in 15 to 18 player servers then. i have tried every graphic slider this way and that, and it all makes no diff. oOo: cry: it happens to me in tanks too...when i go over the bridge in market garden...or bocage bridge...fps drop to under 10...unplayable

Hmm...I haven't really had any problems playing on 50+ people servers, unless the server sucks. It only happens when you're flying, on a carrier, or driving a tank over a bridge?

I got the lag from bombing the carrier. Map was Iwo Jima, I was Axis.

when I got in a firefight, there was a chopper,A-10,Ah-64 and the Su25 just all round us. Man, now that was CHOP! After most of us died it stopped..

i always have my view distance at 100 other wise it makes it impossable to shoot planes down or snipe cause they dissapear too quickly. BTW joe how well does your system play vf? the one your selling?

Very nicely. Loads maps in about 20 - 30 seconds, tell me the cmd for FPS, and I'll give you the digits.

??? eek:

[Sergeant_Scrotum]

oh nm i get it. ok the command is console.showfps 1 & can you see what FPS with you get with the settings on max, on a DC server with about 45 people playing & on...um what map is a realy FPS killer? & can you take a screenshot? im just wondering how it would do.

OK, I took some screenies, with different scenarios. I set the game settings to as follows:

Resolution - 1280x960x32
Detail - All highest
View Distance - 100%

Also, in my Graphics Card's settings in the Contol Panel, I set the buffer to triple, Z buffer to 24, and Anti-Aliasing to 4X.

I have: P4 1.5Ghz 400mhz FSB, Socket 423, 512MB of PC-800 RDRAM, Asus Mobo, Visiontek Xtasy GeForce 4 Ti 4600 AGP 4X 128MB, and WinXP Pro W/ SP1.

Now here's what I got. Since the pics were huge, I just cut the FPS out. All pics were taken on the Tobruk map, and I was on Axis. I'll tell you the seneario for each:

This is from just respawning. There are 4 others in the spawn with me, 1 building, no vehicles:

This is from the cockpit of the HIND. The cockpit frame is showing, and there are two explosions going off, with two missiles in mid-flight:

This was from flying over the battle area. There's 4 infantry, 2 tanks, and 1 HMMVUE:

This is from getting hit from an Apache missile, the apache takes up 80% of the screen:

This is me on a hilltop looking at the battle. Both the HIND and Apache are visable, and take up about 10% of the screen. 3 buildings, 2 tanks, and 5 infantry are visible:

This is a flyover of open terrain from the HIND. No vehicles or infantry, just some barbwire & bushes.

This is from the inside of the BRDM, with the inside view on (As if you are looking out a window):

thats awsome! ed: i wasent expecting so many screens! thanks joe! my computer right now with all settings on low hovers around 15 fps on el almain. unless theirs action which it drops normally to 10. I really want that upgrade now!

[JBird]

i had to revive my thread here...i have downloaded 3 different versions of .3N dc mod...i have uninstalled and installed all 3 thinking that my problem was with a faulty version or something...in each one i have horrendous fps!!!!!!!111111111 what the fuck! seriously, 2 of my clan members downloaded the same dc from the same site http://www.bf42.com/index.php?site=download&id=52

and im on ts2 with them tonight...i ask them "you guys getting frozen when you go in hind and tanks and stuff in firefights?"

their reply "no man mine is smooth as can be..." i have a fucking gf4 ti4600 card! with plenty of ram...i just am at a loss for words here, i do not know why this is happening. everyone else runs dc smooth with no problems, but i am still getting fps under 10!!!!1 my view distance is at 71 % my grahics sliders are almost max and i dont have environment mapping or anything else checked to improve performance. with my rig there is no way in HELL this should be happening. i am completely frustrated with this, because i love playing dc, i cant imagine how much more fun i would be having if i can actually play a god damn game without freezing in vehicles. GOD DAMNIT FUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111111 cry: cry: cry: cry: cry:

Well, many of Battlefield's problems have been caused by sound related issues. What sound quality are you running? How many channels? Are you using hardware acceleration? What sound card do you have (if you have one)?

[JBird]

my sound card is the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz...right now i am running sound at medium with 32 channels...i believe hardware accel is off. i will go right now and mess with the sound settings, as since it was graphical fps prob i didnt mess with sound too much. ill post back
