from what ive seen the performance is random. 1 thing i know for fact. anyone running 32bit windows suffers from fps freezing during sieges. its less common on 64bit systems. ie my gaming laptop no freezes at all and its just a g62 asus gaming laptop but i have constant ping rising issues using it in sieges. not sure whats causing this im assuming its settings i havent been able to figure out how to modify to fix. now my desktop has great ping but suffers from freezing due to 32bit os.
and im talking bad freezing. both run wireless cards to my router so im sure my ping issue on laptop is fixable my desktop runs dfo at 80fps but with more then 20 people on screen its starts to decling rapidly and once u get around 40 or so in the area its unplayable.
either way its 10% our computers and 90% av issues. the game isnt designed as good as df1 as far as lg scale fights so until people start having smaller wars this issue will always persist because i dont think the devs will ever fix it..
