Funkmaster Whale Whale Pod 2596	Posted - 2014.12.13 07:36:00 - [1] - Quote 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.

I would certainly like to see that side by side comparison if you can. Thanks for the video. That's certainly something to consider. Overall though I think it's still much easier to simply hold down the trigger on your HMG/Breach AR and 100% focus on aiming than it is to have your burst rhythm thrown off because the game starts to get choppy in these situations. I think ease of use plays a large part in why certain weapons are more popular in things like PC where you'll typically hear many players complaining about choppy framerates and lag. Burst weapons are much more finicky in terms of getting their rhythm down. Automatics have the luxury of not having to worry about that. Follow me on Twitch.tv!

Spectral Clone Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 3372	Posted - 2014.12.13 08:48:00 - [7] - Quote I have noticed this on the Scrambler Rifle (non-assault). Throughout my mouse input investigations I have come across some knowledge about how UE3 actually works: - UE3 has framerate dependant input. Both buttons/keyboard clicks and movement (source). This is built into the core of the engine, and is not something that can be fixed with a hotfix (or easily with a patch). Funkmaster Whale: You can verify this by throwing a grenade at 720p resolution, and then trying to throw a grenade when resolution is lowered. The activation time is very sluggish in 720p, while in 576p (lowest resolution possible for me) it will be a lot more fluent. If you could record this and show side by side, I think many people will be surprised. Honestly, this must be one of the main reasons why CCP went over to PC with Project Legion instead, PS3+UE3 was not such a great idea in the first place.

That's pretty crazy that there was actually research done on it lol. It's pretty self-evident that framerate directly correlates to the performance. Framerate can be equivocated with the rate at which the player receives information about the game, and when that begins to slow down it ultimately leads to slow response times and worse player performance. Like I said before, when you're in a scenario like coming face to face with a Heavy in a city socket, you not only have to manage your panic in order to figure out how to best survive the situation, you also have to quite literally battle the game's choppy performance in order to adequately get it to do what you want it to do. At times it feels like the game is betraying you because it starts to stutter and get choppy in those dire and crucial moments where a few milliseconds can mean life or death. A lot of times poor framerate means overcompensating your aim and target tracking because the game isn't responding as fast as your input and this ultimately leads to untimely and very frustrating deaths.

It is what kills the average players stay times on DUST. Players log off and go play another game because of DUST's inconsistent game performance... Not because of some FOTM suit or gun. This is the biggest problem with the development strategy of Uprising build. We have spent more time addressing the symptoms of poor game performance then the actual core issue. Game performance. Chromosome even being a beta build... Provided much more consistent game experience.. And in turn created epic moments still talked about in squads today.. Of that epic duel you and a companion had. And both of you acknowledged it was player delivered. Now? Duels are completely based on who has the better hit detection or game performance at that instant... This is what makes people rage quit DUST. The game actively hindering players abilities to create fair competition based on gameplay. Item statistics is a completely different discussion.

I don't think it's fair to blame just game performance, but it certainly is a factor. In fact, I think it's a bigger factor for veteran players since PC is usually far worse in terms of framerate disparities. Follow me on Twitch.tv!
Kalante Schiffer Ancient Exiles. 847	Posted - 2014.12.13 22:10:00 - [22] - Quote Bad performance is what drove off a lot of people out of dust the first month. Still to this day there is problems, some people dont even bother to try PC because it has a lot of issues like FPS drops and connection problems which is nothing compared to the first days of uprising. Instead CCP is more worried about adding more aurum stuff and balancing. That's why ive always said any performance improvements are greatly appreciated because that's what us vets want the most we want the game to be able to keep up. AE.

I remember a few friends I tried to introduce to DUST in May 2013 whose PS3s would completely freeze or simply shut down anytime they started it. That was the extreme of course. Framerate was always a touchy subject that didn't really seem to get thorough Dev investigation. I remember the huge thread with CCP Wolfman where he was trying to figure out what was making PC so laggy. Everyone had their methods like restarting their PS3 or whatever to hopefully not get F-ed in PC by lag. It's gotten somewhat better since then but there's still certain sockets where the lag is just brutal. Follow me on Twitch.tv!

When peeps complain that DUST feels slow, clunky, awkward, etc. this is one of the things they are trying to express. Bethy's right, ofc. One of the things raising the hairs on the back of my neck is that we aren't seeing any core mechanics related spinoff coming out of the Legion project. PSN: RationalSpark

Funkmaster Whale Whale Pod 2651	Posted - 2014.12.15 09:17:00 - [30] - Quote Union118 wrote: I dont see a problem. You shot 2 down pretty quick. Killing militia suits and scouts doesn't present a huge problem. And in this case the framerate wasn't even that bad in the video. I've had games against certain foreign corps where the framerate goes down and it gets even worse than the video shows. What this means is that a lot of balancing of weapons like the CR, TAR, Burst AR, and other such semi-auto/burst-fire weapons doesn't necessarily reflect what the theoretical DPS of that weapon is. A Burst AR may theoretically have X DPS based on it's RoF but because framerate impacts RoF so much it could actually end up being far less than that. This largely plays into why such weapons aren't as popular. Follow me on Twitch.tv!

The CR will also suffer a rate of fire reduction when aimed at high latency opponents-while in the open not just the research facility. The HMG also suffers from trigger retardation in a latency situations.

I have a ps3 slim and still get framerate issues. I also got framerate issues about a year and a half ago when my PS3 was brand new, even within the first or second match of a play session.

I hope this can be fixed, and then CCP applies the fix to this area of the game called "Planetary Conquest" where this bs decides the battle for you literally 95% of the time smh?! "Anybody order chaos?"

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. wow, this game runs on a really bad game loop. Bethhy wrote: 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... 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? Because they're trying to spend as little as possible while making a mint! I got over 1,000 dmn strongboxes and shtty framerate to prove it?! "Anybody order chaos?"

It's gotten somewhat better since then but there's still certain sockets where the lag is just brutal. [/quote] The word "brutal" doesn't quite cut it in some cases smh?! "Anybody order chaos?"
Bethhy Ancient Exiles. 3148	Posted - 2015.01.18 13:35:00 - [46] - Quote 3 different PS3's. One old fatty with a SSD. One Slim with a SSD. And a slim with 250 gb stock with maybe an hour of play time on it. Have a 120mb/s Connection at house. A 80 mb/s connection at the office..(Obviously PS3 caps out at 10mb/s) I Have low latency Monitors and 3d tv's with gaming mode. My upstairs gaming room has a full time air conditioner running in it. There has never been a time in nearly 3 years of playing DUST where there hasn't been massive frame rate issues with this game. This is real, reported by thousands of people. I Plug the same PS3's into GTA 5, Destiny and Battlefield 4 and get little to no frame rate issues period... And No Matter how much someone tells me that DUST is this HUGE GAME that the PS3 can't run.... Those games demand more. DUST has no excuses for this poor game performance from users that have barely ever had an issue in the years they have played PS3. It is DUST and CCP Shanghai. Not us.
