Would removing sound from equipment increase frames per second? Or perhaps optimizing it so that 20 uplinks and hives close together sounds like one simple modified audio track rather than nearly blowing out my speakers
I just played domination/research lab. Ever since the update it has been fairly smooth, improved. However, this match had PC level lag. It got waaaay worse when I got anywhere near the supply depot, and i'm talking about 5 fps to 1 frame per 2 seconds.
The amount of equipment spam was unreal. Never had I seen it like this before. It was as if my ENTIRE team **** hives and uplinks, but not just normal shitting, like full on ebola/tacobell diarrhea type of shitting.
And it was SO loud. It drowned out the dropships and gunfire for some weapons.
So going anywhere near audio range of these hives, even when not in line of sight, dropped frames to powerpoint presentation levels. So I was wondering if removing the audio from equipment would increase frames.
And because this "community" consists of people who pretty much only play this game in their imagination and disagree with everything by saying stupid things like "no, I rely on sound 100% to find equipment", and can't come up with solutions to these problems, I feel the need to preemptively say that increasing the distance passive scans pick up equipment would be a decent solution to that "problem".
It would definitely be worth better FPS, if possible. |

That makes sense. Never been a problem to me.

I agree with this 100%
I saw someone post, a long time ago when CCP made a fix to the lag bombing with equipment spam, thanking CCP for "Solving the lag issue without taking away sandbox gameplay"
.....equipment spam ....sandbox gameplay....  |

Right?
Battlefield doesn't need a crazy FX for ammo drops... |
