Terrible FPS issues and ability lag in Warzones.

It is a very annoying problem. worst problem in PvP imho.
copy the engine from RIFT, pvp is very VERY fluid there also with highest graphics settings, no delay, perfect FPS.
Even in age of conan, a game that owns every other mmo in the graphic department hasn´t this problem (has others though:P).
It is unacceptable that a game functions like this. its 2012 BW, come on!

ye this lag in warzones is shocking, im into pvp aswell and this is mostly unplayable atm, they got 2 months untill my subs end and if it isnt fixed im off

TBH from day 1 Bioware has basically ignored the community.

i have a sinking feeling this game will be dead soon. never thought id say that.

Yet another user with the same issues. I usually run in windowed fullscreen, with vsync on (so it doesn't tear) and have a solid 50-60 fps (60 max per refresh rate) everywhere while running on HIGH settings... except when I go into Warzones... frames are typically below 30 and drop down to as low as 10. If I run on fullscreen, with high settings and no vsync I get upward of 75-100 fps in the world. In warzones, again below 30 constantly. I've heard of other devs setting limits in pvp scenarios like 'max 30 fps' as to not give high end machine owners an advantage. I don't think this is the case here, becuase then even high end machine users would have solid 30. I am concerned however, that so many people are talking about the 'latency lag'. Call of Duty MW3 utilizes a system that DOES adjust latency to match the worst latency of the match to again, adjust advantages. While I'm all for fairness, if someone has a crap connection the other 5-7 people who pay their ISP for faster speeds should not suffer the consequences.

plenty of discussion from the devs... they even admit mistakes. While we may not see the results as fast as our twitchy minds want, they are coming.

mostly talks about patches and downtime... but on the 4th of January, they had a nice write-up on PVP changes, including addressing brackets, rated PVP, queuing for specific WZs

as far as FPS issues...

it doesn't take long to see that they actually are paying attention and addressing issues.

Couldnt agree more, my computer is not even bad and im getting ridiculous fps and lag issues when im running on 50-60ms ??????

Also before they realeased this game they clearly said were optimising this game so people can play it on even low spec computers. Obviously not?

When i write a ticket they just tell me to reset my UI? LOL RESET MY UI?

Your engine is horrific and im getting huge server side lag when im on 50ms and 10-20fps in a warzone with a good pc and your telling me to reset my ui?

This is definitely a joke and they need to get this 100% sorted before releasin any sort of competetive pvp.


This is the only thing holding me back from renewing my subscription.

Time for a upgrade fellas.

Also ilums optimisation is soooo bad, as soon as i walk into more than 30 odd people my computer just starts freezeing and juttering with low fps, how can any1 pvp like this?

The pvp is just completely unplayable in every way!

Ok having pvp'd my way between 10-20 and having a playable experience in Voidstar and Huttball although not in Alderaan, i took a break for a bit due to overdominance of lvl 50's and waited to get a bit higher before resuming pvp.

So at lvl 30+ i have tried pvping again, despite doubling the amount of RAM in my system (4 gigs to 8 gigs), for some reason pvp is now borderline unplayable in all warzones, i have no idea what the hell they managed to do in the patches since i last pvp'd, but they have made things worse (the only thing i can think is that now with more high level characters there are more ability effects flying around all over the place, slowing things up more), i will not be playing pvp again until 50 and if they dont fix the issue soonish will probo be unsubbing.

It has nothing to do with RAM it's all about your CPU. MMO games are traditionally hard on processors. It's a reason why this game collapses on many systems when many players are around as well. Take "many" as relative as well, 8v8 are pretty low numbers to be honest.
