DUST Search - What is your favorite way to afk when experiencing unplayable FPS issues?

Well, my FPS issues happen randomly, there never seems to be a specific trigger (besides lots of tanks and mass drivers blowing things up). The only thing it reminds me of on a PC is a memory leak. When I restart the game it fixes.

I have a fatboy PS3, and I'm pretty sure this issue is pretty common with anyone else that has one. Due to the fact that I use a shotty, when my FPS gets below 10 or so, it becomes near impossible to kill anyone unless they run into me while I'm firing. Therefore rather than waste my expensive suits, I go into the corner and summon mass LAVs. I'd say I experience unplayable FPS drops about every 10 games, on certain maps it's a 50/50 chance whether I'll experience unplayable lag (mainly the central city maps).

Oh, and I'm already playing in 480i, have been since the day I started... after the patch lag issues have increased DRAMATICALLY. Based on my powers of deductive reasoning, I believe the cause is larger maps.

Regardless, I do not like submitting bug reports like a full time job so this thread is dedicated to finding others with interesting ways to waste time before that inevitable game reset that comes after experiencing unplayable FPS.

Heavy Salvo Silver Talon Corporation 6	Posted - 2013.05.22 00:47:00 - [5] - Quote Stack a couple of those LAVs and try knocking them down with dropship, its almost impossible with the FPS drop but its hilarious for people to watch.

Bubba Brown Militaires Sans Jeux 93	Posted - 2013.05.22 01:12:00 - [8] - Quote i get this roughly every ten games. and "unplayable" is a good way to describe it. my fps hovers around 15 during these times, sometimes dropping to 7 or lower. and i know i'm REALLY in trouble when it bottoms out at 2fps for about 30 seconds and all my inputs have a five second delay. unplayable is a good way to describe it

Rynoceros One-Armed Bandits Unclaimed. 67	Posted - 2013.05.22 01:35:00 - [12] - Quote I try to get somewhere right in the middle of the map, so it's still somewhat of a win/lose game for me. If the FPS hits the floor, does it kick you out to the overview map? Or is this a separate issue?

Smoky Fingers Red Star. EoN. 21	Posted - 2013.05.22 01:42:00 - [14] - Quote Played a game with some randoms a couple days ago 1. find a nice sweet corner to play in 2. gather all the problematic FPS players 3. everyone stands in a circle facing away from each other. 4 (preferably a non FPS issue guy) calls in an LAV in the center. 5. first one to enter the LAV wins. Hilarity ensues

I got the newer 500 gig ps3 and have frame issues sometimes, that includes to the point of un playability. Btw, My tv is in 480i, I plugged in a hdmi cable I get 720p.

That's what I usually think, until there's no queue to spawn back in. By the time I back out of the map there's a dingleberry that heard the springy sound of my shotty going off on his buddy's headgear looking at me like, "Free Kill? Thanks!"
jin foxdale Kigurosaka Corporation Insurance Fraud. 9	Posted - 2013.05.22 02:41:00 - [20] - Quote If I'm getting destroyed in a match, either I whip out "nova knife guy" and go a-side-steppin' and quick-hackin' or good old "Meds Muldoon" gets a runout. They both suck, of course, and they don't have guns, but they're fast little buggers, and they help bring a little levity to those rare games where absolutely nothing is going right. And boy oh boy can Meds drive...
