I still find myself AFKing for Skill points, run around cap 3 objectives then afk in the mcc.
Why? Cause I can only play a limited number of games before the PS heats up and the frame rate drops too low that I cannot actually play. I'm in a game right now that we are absolutely destroying the other team and I would love to get some more free kills but I can barely move.
I would also love to turn off the PS and play again tomorrow, but I bought 3 active skill 1day boosters and I feel like I would be punished by turning it off. |

1. Elevate PS3 with two small blocks for air to pass under.
2. Locate PS3 on an open shelf. No backed shelves.
3. Remove dust from the PS3. No, not the game. The actual dust.
4. If you're skilled enough and willing to violate your warranty, replace the thermal paste on the processor with a better one. Sony got cheap on the paste. All this fun stuff
Ive done all this. I even have a fan blowing directly onto the ps3. When dust over heats it's still unplayable till it cools off. |

I put it on the tile floor in the basement, got good space around it for air ventilation... Never covered.
goes silent from that cool tile flooring... Haven't had it heat up for a long time...
But... I can't escape the freeze... That needs a serious nerf ;(
Yes, Unfortunately I'm in the middle of building my basement. The PS3 is in the top of the house where it's the warmest and there isn't anything I can do about that for at least a few more weeks. But even still, dust just needs to be optimized this is not acceptable. |

But even still, dust just needs to be optimized this is not acceptable. Believe it or not the game has been optimized quite a bit over time, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that it could do better. The problem seems to be the maps themselves that need optimizing especially the Gallente Research Facility and perhaps the tunnel map. I haven't had any overheat problems with my console so far because of the tips I mentioned. Though I don't have the skill to apply the thermal paste correctly which is why I haven't done that so far. Keep in mind that I have the small 12GB PS3. You know, the kind that you have to slide the cover off to access the CD.
I optimize code for a living. And I can tell you from experience every time I go into a new place the dev's always say the same thing. It's been optimized as much as we can, no more can be done, ect ect. Same old song and dance, every single time and every single time after a few optimization cycles we see huge 4x-8x speed improvements. You have to be willing rip out offending code and rewrite the parts that are causing the issue, not simply tweak them. |
