DUST Search - Framerate drops are unbearable.

If you are telling me that you don't have framerate issues you are flat out lying.

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.

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 don't what else I can say to you. I don't have frame rate issues, the game runs at a near consistent 28-30 frames per second for me. Lag isn't a problem either, if I put the battle server choice as auto, America, Asia or Europe, all run as well as the others. That said I'll agree with what someone else mentioned earlier about playing the French, which just tells my that French ISP's aren't very good. Ping is the biggest issue in gaming online. Mine varies between 8 to 14, if any of you test yours and find it more than 75 then switch ISP because I get that on my 3G smartphone. Fine for mobile use, blows for online gaming.

The SSD is a factor in load up times and texture rendering, it doesnt effect frame rate. I've confirmed that with switching the old standard PS3 HD that I had before. The thermal paste switch I did significantly reduced the thermal load on the Cell chip and the GPU. It didn't increase frame rate as such but due to the better heat conductivity to the heat sink, allowing the fan to do a better job, it has improved the systems performance overall and reduced the chances of YLOD happening. Overheating is the number one cause of YLOD in PS3.

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, each one made from various components from different manufacturers (the conceit that consoles are a unified experience is a fallacy, hardware configurations change all the time) mean that anyone of these configuations may perform better or worse than others but still fall within the specifications of the format.

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.

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

I can say for my part i have the ps3 vertical, it's a slim, and has an SSD, i JUST reinstalled dust, and it DRASTICALLY improved texture pop in problems. just saying. i have had soul crushing framerate drops once, and generally everything seems smoother now. I can say Mouse is still **** if i recall. but i need to double check.
