Moderate FPS drop

[Elindor]

Sorry cmp, just saw this ....

which map?

was just various siege maps on NA2....probably saw this effect across 4-5 maps.

I was testing on NA2 yesterday and it felt sluggish at times for me too. I'll have a look and see what could be causing it.

Yeah im on EU2 right now with similar server load same settings roughly and FPS is sitting around 118 or so.

So could be NA2?

I'm playing on default setting (haven't changed them) and my fps goes from 100 to 35-40 at times. I think this has something to do with looking at river. Fps drops aren't that common and I can barely feel them.

With standard launcher I'm playing on lowest possible setting in DX9 mode, and my fps is usually around 60 most of the time and game feels sluggish.

With this beta launcher I'm able to keep browser open, play in windowed mode at higher settings and with rare fps drops. Game feels a lot faster, like I'm flying but that probably has something to do with increased FOV I have set (max FOV).

For me these occasional fps drops are quite normal, considering graphical settings and my old machine with only 2 GB RAM.

Disable water reflections, or set it to "Sky" like it was before.

On NA 3 on the huge strat battle yesterday, most of the times due to all the constuction stuff and stairs, it went down till 40 fps on the major clusters, but then again, strat is strat. 

[cmp]

It wasn't due to construction stuff, actually.

It was due to several armors using non-skin shaders, which means all the skinning had to be done by the CPU (slow).

It's a problem with items, we'll have to fix those.

[karasu]

Oh never thought of that.  Mostly those heraldics right?

[cmp]

Heraldics, other armors at distance (lods), naked people...

[Elindor]

naked people...

Damn nudists...
