Does your fan speed go very high when you are playing? => Replace thermal paste in your PS3. It will help. If not, formatting your PS3 HDD and/or replacing it with a faster HDD (SSD/hybrid drive) could remove framerate drops due to texture loading. Also re-installing Dust 514 seems to improve performance. ^ Placebo effect Replacing the thermal paste is NOT a placebo effect. Its proven to give you better performance (if you have heat problems). SSD greatly improves texture and model loading times. Nah your suffering from placebo effect.... The other day our squad was approaching the new socket... Half of us have SSD's the other half doesn't... The City wouldn't render in for all of us at a certain distance.. We all tested at what range it rendered.. It was the same for all of us.. Even when you go back to your mercenary quarters and your looking at your mercenary load in... It goes through three phases as it loads in... This has nothing to do with a SSD. Or some magical paste. There are people still playing today on two year old clients for DUST... Downloaded them in Chromosome.. And had it updated for two years nearly.. And compete the same as someone who just fresh downloaded it an hour ago. This game it's self is messed... The Core mechanics of this game is messed. Content and the concepts around the game are just amazing.. and make your excited... Balance has always had issues but wouldn't even matter if the core mechanics where solid as players would be able to work around them with consistent gameplay and performance. CCP has spent two years building ontop of a terrible foundation of core game mechanics... They spent more time on the lighting effects of the game then they did the general performance..... We have spent two years asking for better Hit detection, Net code, Frame rate and optimizations, Map updates, Physics that make sense, Collision mechanics, Terrain stickyness, Aiming mechanics, Matchmaking.. All we ahve got is band aids and them re tweaking the same couple numbers over and over and over and over......

LODing had nothing to do with framerate drops due to overheating. It is a feature you add in games to improve the framerate. What you are seeing is working as intended probably. Discrete LODing at different ranges. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_detail #PCMasterRace Everyone knows what LOD'ing is that has played video games... They have done it longer then most people here have been alive.? Does it happen frequently to all games at 60m out of the object rendering in? Do other games have you drive into sockets to have your Vehicle float up in mid air for 45 seconds as the entire socket LOD's around you? SSD doesn't improve LOD'ing times? SSD Improves texture pops and load in's though... Even though that is what is LOD'ing as you move into closer proximity... Regardless of what a SSD does or that players should be ripping apart their PS3's to apply some magical paste for an issue that everyone ONLY has on DUST. These players go to other games and other triple A titles on the PS3.. And never have a performance issue ever while playing everyday for crazy amounts of time.. Games that are on the cutting edge of what the PS3 can offer... DUST is far from cutting edge having 32 mercenaries fight with minimal graphic quality and maps with no tree's or detail besides a box with large fields of nothing. Every mercenary in DUST has experienced extremely poor performance in gameplay while at the same time not having an issue with any other game... No matter how much of a fanboy or apologist you have become over the time this is not the players fault or doing or neglect. It is CCP's.
