Brought to the attention of CCP Rattati.

Video Link

I've been intending to make this video for a while. A lot of people don't seem to feel framerate drops because they use automatic weapons that simply require you to hold the trigger and aim. Conversely, burst-fire and semi-auto weapons require a steady input based on their maximum RoF in order to properly achieve their maximum DPS, and for some reason in this game there's some areas of the map that really suffer from FPS (frames per second) drops and this in turn causes these weapons to act up.

I've been using the CR and Burst AR for a while and in these scenarios I'm using the exact same pattern to fire except that in the laggy condition everything is much slower and much tougher to play in. This plays a huge part in why HMGs are so devastating in these city sockets. When you come face to face with a heavy you not only begin to panic, the game starts to stutter and slow down and just feel like it's not responding as fast as you want it to.

What does everyone think?

Edit: Clarification, this was with a M/KB.

This is an interesting find, Funkmaster. CCP should fix this ASAP.

--- THERE ARE NO FRAMERATE ISSUES!! ---

PLEASE REPLACE YOUR PS3'S THERMAL PASTE AND THE FRAMERATE WILL BE PERFECT 100% ALL THE TIME!!1

Rattati knows this.

Everyone who has developed a video game knows this.

When frame rates drop..... So does the inputs per second the game is registering...

This generation of consoles is already bare minimum with 30 FPS caps...

When DUST frequently see's FPS drops of 10-15.... It's crazy...

Alot of people attribute this to Latency lag... from CCP's end or theirs... More often then not it is directly attributed to FPS drops in the game and the same amount of commands not being registered.

This is how to create a Game 101.


Also why Vet's who have been here for years push for core mechanic fixes first. Not fluff. Not tweaking the same gun statistic already done 10 times before.

This should be the thing the CPM's are mentioning EVERYDAY to CCP. Game Performance. Game performance. Hit detection Hit detection... Game performance. Hit detection. Physics. Net Code.

Not nerf this and buff this... What a waste of time.

Fix this broken game first and then balance it.

wow, this game runs on a really bad game loop.


actually, it is very well possible to make the game state update at constant speed while the frame rate is variable...


Making the game state independent of the FPS is be the best implementation for a game loop. I dont get why the devs havent made it that way when they run a heavy modified UE anyway. Can a blue answer me that?
