I heard about people doing this and got curious. I'm so fed up with the horrible performance this game has. I play with M/KB so it's especially taxing when the game is running poorly in terms of aiming properly. Close quarter combat is a nightmare when things like input lag are compounded with framerate lag.
So I downsized from 720p to 480p and tried it and it's ridiculous how much smoother the game runs. It looks like absolute crap and for some reason all the text is in ALL CAPS, but overall I find aiming to be way more precise. Even in places like the Gallente Lag Facility I'm getting consistent 30+ FPS. At 720p I couldn't even dream that. Any big structure like Orbital Artillery or Gallente Lag Facility will typically cripple the FPS to the 15-25 range.
My point here is, why do I have to do this? Is it possible to optimize this damn game to run smoothly without having to resort to ~1998 style graphics?

I tried to down grade to 480, but I never saw a difference in FPS. It did, however, look like absolute ****. You can't see anything. You might try deleting the game and redownloading. It seems to have helped me a little. |

It might look better on that resolution with an sdtv. The fps is smoother, but you get a lot of fuzzy artifacts on objects being viewed in front of the skybox. I think ccp should pull a call of duty and drop the resolution to around 500p along with more optimizations to equipment effects and sound. Another option is to release it on the ps4, but that would be cheating.

I run Dust with ASCII graphics and get 60 fps.

But at least that game runs smooth for me. That's all I really want.
That feeling of the game betraying you by crippling your ability to process and respond to information with precision, because those fractions of a second mean life or death in this game.

***** fuzzy enough at 720p... Don't know if I'd be able to see anything lowering it... Not even sure if it is 720p Here I assumed it was just upscaled from pure **** resolution. |

it's optimism. I tried the same thing a long time ago, and you want to believe that it will help your framerate or your hit detection or whatever, but it's going to make you go cross-eyed. |

Heheheheheh...
You all complain it looks bad.
I have to run it at 480/"Standard" because my TV's are old.
You get used to it.

I did this for awhile. However, I was doing it closer to uprising launch when there were more severe and obvious performance issues. The PS3 definitely doesn't have to "strain" itself to run a game at 480p. So, I guess it's like the extreme version of the options menu bit where you can degrade the graphics for performance (so bizarre to see that in a console game to begin with).
The game is definitely uglier (and there's some text errors that aren't present in the regular version). However, the game isn't particularly stunning to begin with. I suppose it comes down to what you feel will irritate you more.

How do you downscale your resolution? Is that a game option or TV?

Go to Setup, select what cord your using (HDMI or the three pronged thingy) and then it will give you the option to select what resolution your TV runs at. Reduce it down to standard resolution.

I run it in ASCII as well. I have a question. Do your ampersands ever get ^@'d?
The frame rate is amazing though!
We can pickle that.

Can't say I had a lot of frame rate issues before, but an SSD (or Hybrid) defiantly improves things. (Seagate Momentus XT 750GB) |
