DUST Search - Framerate drops are unbearable.

You clearly have some some issues as far as the frame rate is concerned and I've brought them to the attention of CCP, who will then hopefully put some action plan in place to investigate what can be done.

Good. Thanks.

But I have to say that accusing people of flat out lying when they offer a contradictory view to your own is just not cool.

I have not played with a single person that did not have framerate issues every now and then. So when people come to me and try to tell me that everything is fine and that the problem must be on my end, I'm sorry, but I tend to lose it a bit.

I don't have frame rate issues, the game runs at a near consistent 28-30 frames per second for me.

It's fine for me as well ~most of the time~. But every now and then I get into a match where at some point framerate drops so low that it is hard to continue playing.
Frame rate drops also seem to be related to playing against people from other regions, which dosn't make much sense to me. I'd understand to have lag, but not a drop in frame rate.

I don't doubt that there are players out there having problems but I also don't doubt there players out there that don't have these problems. There are at least two dozen PS3 configurations out there

And DUST seems to be the only game that I've played that has issues with that so far.
Look, I understand that it's hard to make it right for evey configuration there is. But you also have to understand that this is not a new issue. This has been ongoing for as long as I can remember.
I did not mind poor performance in closed beta, and during open beta my biggest hope for Uprising was fps improvements. I did not mind when performance improvements were not their biggest problems when Uprising was released.
But after 1.5 years after official release there are still frame rate issues and it seems that we still are far away from any fix to it. I'm sorry but I'm getting a bit upset about this lately.

I've brought it to attention of Rattati, linked this and several other threads to the team. I'll keep asking and pushing for improvements and I won't let them forget.

Thanks.

But please don't accuse me of lying because I don't have the same issues you're having. It's just counterproductive.

But then again, coming into a thread where people are calling for help because of an issue only to say "nope, all fine on my end",
or advise them to make modifications to the hardware, no matter how small (btw, if you **** it up with applying new thermal paste you might in the worst case even make your PS3 break sooner),
or advise them to change their ISPs (which might not be possible for some people for various reasons)
isn't too helpful either, don't you agree? Especially when these issues are only related to this one game.

Also there might be differences in perception of this issue. For some people playing a shooter game at only 28fps might be fine, for me it's really pushing it already. But if the frame rate drops below that on a regular basis we very quickly come to a point where the game becomes close to unplayable. A lower frame rate means that your aiming will suffer, your timing will suffer, your precision will suffer. Frame rate is so important for shooter games but in Dust we have seen little (perceived) progress to fixing it so far.

Please add performance improvements to your roadmap for the next release with a importance level of "Critical - Must do". If you are telling me that you don't have framerate issues you are flat out lying. And, no, I don't think that Logi bandwidth and with this less equipment spam will solve this. You have been scanned

I know from a friend who has a SSD that it will only affect loading times but framerate is completely unaffected. I don't have any problems in any other game on my PS3 but Dust. Framerate drops can happen even in the first match after booting the PS3. I have re-installed Dust last week, not gonna do it again because it does not help at all. I have set both effects and texture details to low. I will not reduce display resolution. The problem is not on my end. The problem is Dust and this has to be fixed. This is critical.

Of course it gets warm after using it for a while but it does not get so hot that I feel pain when I touch it, so the temperature should be < 45-50-¦C, of course the temperature inside will be slightly higher, but still this should be fine. It also has lots of room around it so the heat can escape freely. I've also added some rubberfeet to it a while ago, so it is always ~1cm off the ground as well. Plus, like I said, Dust is the only game where framerate drops are an issue. I don't know and I don't care if it is related to the graphics quality (which is much worse than most games on the PS3) or related to networking issues. This has been an issue for quite a while now, and I get excited everytime I see "performance improvements" in the patchnotes only to then be disappointed because nothing has changed. But maybe it's my own fault for getting excited about ** like that. Spectral Clone wrote:** Also, it seems like you dont want to do anything but crying that CCPs game is bad? Please deposit your ISK into my wallet before you biomass your character. Right, a paying customer is complaining about an ongoing issue of a product and only because I refuse to make modifications to the hardware of my PS3 automatically means that I am just crying for no reason and that everything is totally fine.
