I have 120 fps all the time - the problem is on your side not on the games

I love how ignorant your statement is. People are able to run other games in HIGHER detail that is FAR more demanding on hardware than Mount & Blade. The game and likely mod are not very well optimized and devs havent even TOUCHED the subject of why their mod performs poorly.

Blaming people and their hardware will only go so far, when 1/3 or more of the community is complaining about performance issues on a 3+ year old engine, guess what....ITS PROBABLY THE GAME'S FAULT.

How come some people (like me) run the game with 500 FPS then, all settings maxed? If the game engine would make the FPS lag, then everyone would have it, no?

If its the games fault i should be having some problems right? My graphics card isnt stellar either, its a mid range HG 6650M. But i take care of it with regular cleaning as well as software cleaning my entire system with various programs. With my last card which was outdated i had exactly the same fps drops described untill i downloaded a optimizer for my coolers and cleaned it which also solved that problem. The game AGAIN worked perfectly smooth after that. So i will repeat again: the problem is on the users side.

Game runs for me at a steady 300 fps, doesn't go any higher, rarely drops below 280.

Maps where there are clashing textures drops your FPS exponentially, your card tries to process the same texture twice for every frame you would normally get, so, while in angle-of-vision for that particular part of the map, your FPS performance is going to be cut in half.

Take it from me, I'm a doctor.

Adding a new cooler or cleaning up your graphics card has no effect whatsoever on a normal rig. Sure if the GPU or CPU is overheating a lot it might throttle and cause lag but you would probably have noticed this long time ago with bluescreens or crashes.

I can run the game maxed up at 1920x1200 most of the time pretty ok. Only thing causing drop is those city maps combined with 120 players. I switch to other servers those times.

instead of 160 fps , i got 120 fps on eu1 when all the players spawn now , god fuckin dammit!

Always tought that fps drops and game lag is a different story. I've got lags, stuttering and teleporting with 480gtx and 120 fps. Same with 60 fps.

Problems appeared with ingame character meny implementations. March of 2011. Then with «rubber surface» patch - do you remember this diver horsemans after horse kill?

And this works flawlessly in 2010 year, without new scripts (early attacks) and tons of non optimized models\textures\maps.

Add here 2-5 leechers with 500-800 ping, and viola - you've got unplayable game

The only time I ever have issues is when I join a server. I'll get stuttering for a couple seconds then the game works fine.

KillerofFlowers · « **Reply #39 on:** March 23, 2012, 02:12:36 pm »

I keep a stable 120 for pretty much all maps and I rarely drop below 100. The problem is the map makers. Ive made a few CSS maps and learned from experience that overlapping walls, if trees go through the floor, bridge into floor, or buildings cutting through floor any situations likes these will cause a loss of fps.

City maps have to be delete from the rotation on eu1. Too many players for those maps

Stuttering huh? Read my guide. Force single threading to keep from freezing for seconds at a time.

Maybe I shouldn't post this...keeping the laggers and freezers in the dark helps my KD to be even greater.

no problem here ; i5 2500k , gtx 460 , 8 GB RAM.
Stable 120 FPS , 250-300 uncapped at 1920*1200 , with 100+ players.
you guys need better cpu.
