I just killed my first three Vanu scum Twisted Evil

Ok, on second thought (and testing) performance isn't all that good when it's daylight in the server. I was getting around 40-45 fps (but very playable). It seems like performance will be better during night time.

I noticed an improvement in performance when I selected the highest settings available.

On medium, the game runs poorly.

BTW, I'm playing on some US server since EU is locked, and the game keeps crashing 2-5 minutes after joining. :/

Is EU down for maintenance or is it because I'm using a Geforce key and have been locked out of it?

I've been playing all settings maxed out the whole time. Like I said daylight = lower performance but very playable. Night time runs like a dream.

About the servers issue, it's a weird thing cause most people with nvidia keys I read in the ps2 forums were complaining about not being able to join US servers. In your case seems to be quite the opposite.

In my case using higher settings resulted in an increase in frames per second, before that both night and day ran the same - poorly.

Well then it is the problem, if you joined a server, any server with the GF, before they realized they made a mistake - you're locked out.

That sucks.

Ok, just so people who redeemed their key before they supposedly "ran out" Very Happy can stop worrying, here's the twitter facts:

Quote:

John Smedley ‏@j_smedley
Unfortunately Nvidia handed out some instant-in beta keys earlier than planned. We aren't ready for more people just now but that's life.


Quote:

@kawaiiestpie
@j_smedley I used a Nvidia key on my veteran account that wasn't supposed to give instant beta access but did. Am I screwed? Ban incoming?

John Smedley ‏@j_smedley
@kawaiiestpie no we won't ban people. those keys were given out ahead of the time they were supposed to be. Luckily not many were given out

--------
@VanuForever
hey i just got a key from the nvidia thing. will it override and remove the key i got from twiter? i am scared :/ its all 1 acc @j_smedley

John Smedley ‏@j_smedley
@VanuForever no. you plain got lucky.

As of now, this is unplayable for me. It requires way too much CPU power and my rickety old dual core is simply not enough. All I can hope for is massive, and I mean MASSIVE optimization on this part, or I guess I'll have to skip this until I can afford a decent one.

What CPU & graphics card do you have? I'd like to know as I'm thinking my pc will never run this game at all.

I have a 2.2Ghz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+ and GTX 460 1GB.Okay

Intel Pentium D @ 3GHz and a 450GTS. The gfx cars isn't the problem, when I stand still and there is no action nearby just a bunch of guys running around (staging area), it runs like a dream. As soon as I move out of a general area and/or there is some firefighting going on, the thing grinds to a literal halt. None of that whiny "ooh, I can't play at 50FPS" shit, it literally goes 2-3 FPS on me.

I'm seeing players warping all over, frozen in midair and sometimes invisible except for their shadow.

The invisiblity thing happens only indoors.

I played for an hour, died 7 times all from a player who standing right in front of me but I couldn't see him. Laughing

Please guys remember its a beta and this requires actual testing, its not just a demo.

Also be careful as you are under NDA and they have banned people. Not trying to be a dick at all I wanna play with as many humpers as soon as possible! Smile Smile

If anyone thinks it s a good idea we can make a PS2 Nfohumpers Steam group so we can more easily gather up? Its hard enough to coordinate bf3 gathers and bf3 is online all the time Sad

Avoid "US East 01" server like the plague. That one was the first I tried and was all warping, rubberbanding, teleporting and all lag related atrocities you can think of.

I then created a soldier to play in US West 01 and the lag was only ocassionally and rarely bothering, I enjoyed roaming and killing a few enemies, aslo getting killed by aerial verhicles more than once Razz

Here I am, a soldier of the NC, using what appears to be a futuristic BB gun because I can't seem to do any serious damage.

I tried the light assault weapon and the medic weapon, both times I encountered a Vanu infiltrator and put more than 20 rounds into his face, getting hit markers on everything only to have him kill me with a few shots from his pistol.

How much health he lost? 30. 30 fucking percent, from more than 20 assault rifle rounds hitting his face.

When I tried Vanu on the EU server people were dropping like flies, I shot them in the face - they went down.

Now either NC weapons are insanely weak but have other pros, which I don't believe because they kinda seem like heavy hitters, Vanu weapons are monsters, or it's the U.S. server I'm playing on which is less than ideal.

I miss the EU server, it was smooth, people didn't shrug off point blank shots to the face and didn't go around TKing each other ALL THE TIME.

By the way, I had a cool moment earlier when my squad mates and I all bought buggies and charged into battle in formation. It was like "flight of the valkyries" but with buggies.

P.S. is there any weapon customization in the Beta or will that come later?

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you man. I played almost exclusively NC Light Assault today with the default carbine and killing wasn't hard at all if you put yourself to aim correctly. Sure they're slow shooting but hit really hard, specially if you go for the upper body/head of the enemy soldier. Actually the only face-to-face fights I lost where against enemy MAXs xD

Check the beta forums, people are commenting how ttk is really low and the first one to see the other is the one who gets the kill (not a bad thing for me personally, as I favour tactics and positioning over twitch skills in this kind of game). They also complaining about Vanu being underpowered atm and how everybody wants to play NC with as high as 60% NC server population at times.

Consider that maybe lag was screwing your game when you had those unpleasant outcomes against those barneys.

About this, remember you need to collect certification points which come from the XP you earn in your battles. There's onf of the menus where you can spend those CP in weapon/vehicle/class customization.

Yeah it's funny but man, I'm aiming right at their chest/neck/head, getting multiple consecutive hits, and doing very little damage.

With the Vanu rifle they were dropping like flies, I even tried the red guys and had a better success rate with their rifle.

I'll keep toying with the different NC weapons and get a feel for them.

As expected, I have the exact same (or lack of) performance as you. The game is, as you say, completely unplayable with such old CPUs. Shame.

I'll go back to playing games that don't require such high fps Forever Alone

Played a bit on EU servers, feels like meh, maps are big, but with 500 soldiers defending and everybody spamming the shit out of explosives, game feel like shit, also your vehicle gets stuck nearly everywhere, and when you left your vehicle for a second, someone will steal the shit out of it and crash it in second, derp...
