Why does FF run so poorly?
 

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ @ 2.2GHz
NVIDIA Geforce 7800GT
2 GGB RAM
XP SP2

All drivers updated, virus cleaned, spyware cleaned, OS completely updated.

I run in 800x600 with every single setting as low as it can go, and I'm lucky to break 40FPS if there's at least 1 other player on screen. I'm consistently at 20FPS.

I think I really like this game but for me it borders on unplayability.

Sounds like your setup or drivers are messed up. I can't think of any other reason.

I'm running a similar setup (opteron @ 2.6Ghz, 6800GT & 2 gigs) and I get good performance when playing all maps but monkey. Plus I play at 1600x1200 & high quality.

Hmm... strange. I have:

Athlon 64 3200+
7800 GS
1 gig of ram
Win 2k

I run everything at highest quality, 1280x1024 and I get 50-100fps almost all the time. Are you using the dx9 hardware selection for video?

My set-up is:
AMD Barton 2500 @ 3200
7800GS (AGP)
2GB PC3200
XP SP2

And my performance is quite low too :/, could have sworn I played through HL2 at max settings (With AA & AF too) with good fps as well.

Might be time for an uninstall and install of best drivers for the GFX card!

Omega Drivers!

can you list your driver versions?

I use the 162.18 Forceware for my display drivers, there any other driver info that could help?

mirage... i am pretty sure its your barton that is slowing you down!
i've experienced a major performance boost when upgrading from barton to x64

I reformatted today. Reinstalled everything, got all the newest drivers.

Didn't gain 1 FPS. The only thing that is making this game even remotely playable for me right now if the FPS config someone posted.

i have a 3700+ amd cpu, 2gb ddr400, 7800gtx

and my system is very choppy, but only in the yards, i cap'd my fps to 100 and i am usually getting about 40-60 in the yard, sometimes lower depending on how many players are there. but inside an easy 100

oh i also put it to run in dx 7

man that sounds wierd :S

choke
 

Hi guys..first off fab game..i've not been a member of the forums but have followed the dev of the game from afar :)

anyway..

system specs

cpu:c2d 6400 @ stock
mem:2gb ballistix
gfx:7900gs (the boss (wife) says i have to wait for..santa!!)
os: xp pro sp2

display drivers: 6.14.11.6218..
dx running 9.0c

net connection:Virgin 20Mbit

basically i get great fps +170 (AA and AF maxed)in closed areas down to 60+ in open heavy fighting areas so okay there i think....i get massive choke.. 80+ sometimes. other people seem to move at like 5 - 10 fps..while the rest of the map + me seem ultra smooth..very strange..lol

i've seen a few posts of some rate/cl_updaterate setting but not really sure i grasp it..lol (feel stupid)..


any help would be great

and my specs.
specs: amd x2 4400+, GF8800GTS 320mb drivers 163.67
and 2gb 667mhz ram
winxp SP2

/cry

I got HUGE fps problems,
Pentuim D 805 clocked at 2.99ghz (normal 2.66) +-533 FSB
Nvidia geforce 8600 GTS
1g DDR running at 400mhs
I need to run on 800x600 for it to be playable.

In 800x600 my fps is in range of 25 to 75

Askadaffer: looks like you have anti-aliasing on, and that doesn't look like coverage samble (CS) anti-aliasing either. If you set it to 16xQ you're running 16x supersampling with transparency anti-aliasing, that's enough to bring a GTX to it's knees.

Ramono: your problem is because the 8600 series is utter shit and performs on par with or worse than my old 6600gt.

For either of you I would suggest checking the nvidia control panel's 3d settings area and making sure you are set to "single display performance" mode. I've heard of that causing massive framerate hits before.

The odd thing is that whever i put anti-aliasing to MAX or keep it on none, my FPS doesn't change at all.
That is why i doubt the problem is my video card, it could as well be my budget motherboard.
even tho i see a improvement in my graphics

unless im mistaken, anti-aliasing does not take a lot to run.

turned single display mode on and aa to none, no improvement whatsoever
