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.

Good. Thanks.

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.

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.

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.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. 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.

I have a SSD and can confirm that what Jesus is saying is 100% correct.

-snip-.

The game runs perfect for me. No lag, no frame drops. None.



Clean your ps3 if you want better performance.

It ran good for me in the past. Was thinking it might be something on my end, but a lot of people seem to be having issues. Its been worse in 1.9. And even worse more recently.

CCP is not responsible for your failing hardware.

(I might look like a real f*cking CCP fanboy right now, but yeah... have fun lagging around while me and Dennie experience smoother over all gameplay)
