Yes, in the last couple of days there have been considerable issues with frame rate drops in pc matches. Based on what I've heard in team comms and then afterwards from members of the other teams:
1) it's always several people experiencing this at the same time, but not always the same people, when going from game to game, and not the whole team (and both EU and US people can be affected at the same time)
2) when it's occurring, it's happening to both teams at the same time (though not necessarily in equal numbers or severity)
3) doesn't seem to be tied to a specific map
4) for most people affected, the game may start smoothly (or at least tolerably), but the frame rate decreases drastically over time
not really 5) even in games where I'm not experiencing this particular type of debilitating, systematic frame rate drop, in close quarters situations with lots of explosions happening, the client performance can drop considerably, resulting in temporary bad frame rate... this however does clear up once the grenade spam ends or I move away from the area, so it is not exactly the same problem
Now, one thing all the pc matches I've observed this in the last few days have had 1 thing in common... Mix of NA and EU players on both teams... however, that shouldn't really cause client lag, should it?
(on the topic of server lag, though, haven't had any major issues in weeks, even though I am a European playing pc pretty much entirely with and against US teams... thanks for that, CCP) |

Based on the pc matches I was in the last few days, I'd say some of the worst (and most consistent) frame rate drops occur on the bridge map in and near the new versions of the outside objectives - or rather, particularly the "pyramid" objective. My frame rates were fine until I ended up approaching/entering the pyramid, there was a lot of fighting (particularly with explosives) going on inside and on top of the structure, and I was practically slideshowing for the rest of the match... even leaving the area/spawning elsewhere didn't help much, if at all.
Definitely been experiencing frame rate drops on other maps, but so far any (and iirc ALL) matches involving any fighting inside that pyramid have been the worst, to the point of becoming pretty much unplayable. |
