It''s my job to be objective, it''s my right to have an opinion.

...improve performance for people who are NOT playing on brand new rigs.

Seriously, I can appreciate having performance issues on high settings, or low settings, but when you can't legitimately even see what happens in 18 v 18 PvP, on the lowest possible settings, with everything scaled back, that's a little ridiculous.

Now my comp isn't top of the line, but there's no damned reason that I shouldn't be able to even see some performance.

T7400 Processor

3GB PC5700 Ram

GeForce 7950 GTX

 

... and on average, between 6-22 FPS on the lowest possible settings, and 1280 x 1024 resolution.

Come on now, Funcom, that's just silly.

Have you tried to get the latest graphics drivers (or re-installed them, worked for my guildmate).  By some reason anything but the latest drivers slowes the FPS down a lot.

All I can say is be ready for the whole "Get a new PC and stop QQing" crowd, followed by examples of machines that can be built for X amount of money.

But I agree with ya. Fact is AoC was created to be 60% eye candy, 40% gameplay, so people even running bleeding edge PCs are sometimes struggling with it.

Well the last patch also did some screwy things with FPS on systems that were doing fine before, so maybe by monday they will have corrected that (or at least swap it so the half that got the boost will feel the pain and vise versa)

´Funny, I get 5-10 Fps more after the patch... Seems like the 8000 and 9000 series got a boost while the older and ATI got slower... Probably a bugg somewhere, but it have to be fixed, yes.

After all is said and done, a lot more will be said than done.

I had a performance hit with the last patch too, experienced a few random freeze up's tonight.
