What kind of FPS are the other beta players getting? I am getting 15 to 28 on my DFO era machine (New one brewing!!).

Please share and advise.

I run around a ping 2k, with 18 fps. My comp is 2 years old, with intrgated graphics card. I am also on satillte isp, but I am still getting good performance out of PlanetSide 1.

Same era machine, new 560 Ti card and I'm getting 30+ but when there is a bunch of units and fire on the screen I bog down quite a bit.. Going to try and chart it and see if it's CPU or GPU driven as it seems it's CPU at this point.

Oh and yes I just got in today and played 40 mins and sniped a few people and died to a few cannons.. Good stuff thusfar.

I am mostly driving lightnings because I get to much lag in fights.

Woot nice icky glad u got in!

Im not sure if east coast is fixed try west 1

I spent 15 minutes playing today and here's my impression:

Holy shit this game is not fun to play. All my settings are on medium and the graphics look like muddy dog shit, yet I am lagged to hell. I don't know what my FPS was because I don't know the command. Everything is very confusing.

You run so so so so slow and there is no cover anywhere. When an enemy sees you, you are instantly dead. Except it's not instant because the low budget death animation takes awhile and then you go back to a confusing loading screen. There are no firefights. You can't really dodge or strafe and the TTK is super low.

It's like UT2k4 onslaught knocked up Duke Nukem 3d and they had to put it on Sony's doorstep. I am not sure I can stick with it.

Not sure what happened but prior to the wipe I was getting 70+ FPS but at times prior to those good 2-4 weeks it had some lagging and lockups but hey it's beta..

Not sure what your running PC wise but it can and has run much better and it indeed is fun to play. What are your spec's?

I'm running a dual core E8500 w/ 4gig RAM and it does well but I will state as well this was prior to the wipe and I've not played since after the wipe. I'll start the download/update now since I'm sure there's a huge download again and try it again tonight.

I have about 80gigs worth of fraps movies too during this "good" time and even in the fraps the fps are decent.

look around 15 minutes. His graphics are better than mine but the gameplay I am talking about is demonstrated at its very possible best here. There is actually a ground firefight amongst two large teams with lots of cover and it still just doesn't seem fun to me. The ridiculous respawns, movement speed and TTK especially.

You've never played PS1 I see because all of those same things are in PS1, not much different there.

You need to roll with people and have an agenda and capture things but it's depth isn't what most would find nor state as engaging. It's a Pew-Pew for a few hours, get some points and buy some other certs (certifications) for new gear or bank for something bigger. If you don't like FPS such as COD, MW, etc this won't fancy you either although I don't enjoy the FPS genre as much as many and for some reason PS1/2 engage me the limited time I have (a few hours at a sitting at best). That could be the issue for most and tire many if you plan to dedicate hours upon hours of gametime to it at once.

Sorry it's not your cup of tea but it sounds like it's not the performance, as much, as the gameplay you don't like and unfortunately it's not going to change much other than new items, load-outs, vehicles and maps.

P.S. You still doing APB? My boy was looking at it, again earlier this week. I've not played since the live release bombed but wanted to try it (again, just not enough time anymore)
