hi, I am in the closed beta and we just had a 650mb patch. all the stuttering is now gone, and my fps seems to almost doubled. I think the game fully supports multiple cores now because I saw cpu usage go to 100%.

 

good job funcom.

Uhm. I was thinking of starting a topic similar to this, but I changed my mind because of the NDA. There was just a patch right now, I did not notice the size but it was fairly big. There were very noticeable improvements with performance, loading times and graphics. Yes, graphics. They improved quality of textures and lighting, looks and plays alot better now. Very very pleased.

Im guessing the guy who started this post feared getting banned for breaking NDA, (if he did). Anyway I do not care if I get banned or not.

Viggor-Proud Adept of WAR for Darklore

in OB and such my stuff always said 100% for the cores didn't matter if I was using 1 or 2 . I think the thing was it was utilizing the other core and it was having some problems with duel core processors. I had a horrible time after I went back to one core and went to full screen instead of windowed I got good FPS again but still it took the game maybe 20-25 mins to crash and would require me to boot the game back up again.

You risked geting banned from MMORPG.com (they know your IP regardless) and booted from BETA for breaking the NDA (MMORPG.com will assume you are violating the NDA) to share that with us.

 

Thank you.

banned from where and from what? All I did was stating that there was a 650mb patch which really decreased loading times, increased perfomanced and got rid of the stuterring. I did notice graphics were slightly improved, specially the fog and lightning.

Quite frightening that ppl who are this active on the forum behave like this before verifying if it's true or nog. Epic fail to you Shannia.

How? Just cause he has one post doesn't mean it didn't happen, i mean hell it better because if they didn't patch it to use multiple cores all hell would break loose. I bet there will be people replying that the patch indeed did happen.

Now the reality of the closed beta patch....

Results so far are all over the board, pretty much see the poll yesterday about performance and that is about how it is, just people switched catergories:

1. A person that had great performance now has bad performance.

2. A person who har bad performance now has good performance.

3. The stayed the same.

Now on some finer details:

1. Looks like the uncapped FPS, some see over 100 FPS in some places.

2. Several are getting smoother game play but their FPS have been cut in half.

3. 1.6 gigs in size.

4. Less gfx options, for example DX10 is no longer in.

5. Some reports of a few other noticeable changes outside of performance but not too much on that yet.

 

My Conclusion:
They have an engine that seems to run some systems well and not others, but not a enginge that is consistent to all systems. This will be frustrating to deal with imo.

Thank you.

Actually, as I understand it, CB testers are allowed to speak about up to level 13... which covers performance.

Also. I just logged out from playing the CB moments ago and yes there was a patch and yes it seems to have improved things for a lot of CB testers. The general chat was full of people talking about how much better it was running. Take that for what it's worth.

Lifes A B*tch, Then You Die, Then The Worms Eat Ya.

I'm not to sure how much of the NDA they broke thou. If ya read the thing about the open beta they already said they where working on the patch to improve everything the OP said.  Just cuase there are some idoits here who think the "IGN Open Beata" is the retail version, doesnt make it so. I'm sure 150 people in an office can get alot done in a months time.....

Can't wait till release I'll see you buggers on the 17th (Pre-order head start)
