Hello Dusters! Longs time no see! I took a couple months off to get a PS4 and play other more polished games, yet I am back! For how long? Who knows, who cares? No one... But anyway. I was wondering:

Just how many FPS does Dust run off?? The reason why I ask is because i just started playing again and I said to myself: nice improvements on the gameplay! But...the game still runs like utter ****. Everytime I try and jump out the dropship the game stutters. Yesterday, I froze and then teleported to a different area of the map. Textures are consistently popping in and out.

So what am I getting at? Well, maybe what Dust needs is lower FPS. I assume that CCP is trying to run this game at 50-60 FPS but with all that goes on in the map graphically the Frames keep dipping to the point of unplayability. So yeah, how many Frames exactly does Dust work with and do you think they should lock the game at 30 FPS?? Maybe that will help the game run smoother like it use to a year ago.

I love how you put Reckoning in there. <3

If that is so what would you propose could fix the FPS problem? This game is clinging to life and it needs a whole overhaul as far as the engine under the hood

On my new TV that I bought this year. Dust has been running for me so smooth that it feels like 60+ like literally. Thank you 120+ hz :D

Not IWS, and not a particularly popular opinion, but my suggestion would be integration into the Master Race.

60-144FPS FTW



Thats...not how it works...

Anything above 70 frames is solely for bragging rights. As I recall, humans can only view up to 50-60 fps

Not exactly, but there are diminishing returns with regard to perceived quality of image and fluidity of motion as FPS increases. You don't get much in the way of increased quality as you increase the FPS above a certain threshold, but your visual system can perceive the difference between two games/videos/whatever played at a different, high FPS. It probably won't improve your game play, but you'll be able notice.

(my field of research/expertise is decision making based on sparse information, particularly as it relates to the chemical senses, but I know a fair amount about the visual system)

anywhere from about 12-24 by my reckoning.

24 or 26 actually, but when I play a game like league of legends or dota 2 at ~300 you can feel a massive difference
its like subliminal messaging, you dont really see it but you just know it was there

Anything above 60FPS doesn't give much of a gameplay advantage, but it does look much better. Once you start going above 144FPS, the returns start to decline, but are noticeable. A gif for comparison between 60 and 30 FPS: https://gfycat.com/SolidTallJaguar

There is obvious room for improvement above the 60FPS example, so there is definite room for a discernible difference at higher framerates.

My Grandfather smoked his whole life.

I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, "If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately."

Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately.

Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- "Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through."

I agreed.

At 24, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this thread gave me cancer anyway.
