Kylegrey2 31 Posted July 14, 2019 This game always stutters for me during up close firefights which is the worst time for a game to stutter and lag. Ironically, this only became a consistent problem after upgrading my core 2 duo. Have had many upgrades since then... running a 6 core cpu and it plays like garbage. Hence my use of an opgl. This is the only game that bottlenecks my cpu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cores are irrelevant in APB, you can throw 32 cores at it and get the same FPS as you would with 2 or 4 cores of similar performance, because it only utilizes one core.

So ive been told... seems like a pretty big flaw considering where cpu technology is headed. They might want to do something about that. Shouldnt have to downgrade to a single core just to play an ancient game. I wonder if the engine upgrade will have any beneficial effect in that regard.

Fortune Runner 796 Posted July 15, 2019 nothing is getting properly fixed without optimization and that will take a engine upgrade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tako 93 Posted July 15, 2019 Same, big fps drops from the big riot patch, and even worse since very last patch, it's getting pathetic at this point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlatMan 711 Posted July 15, 2019 I'm still above 120fps average. I get drops into the 80s when there's 10+ players shooting at the same time, but it's always been like that. I would say there hasn't been much in terms of performance different in at least 5 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eisena 86 Posted July 15, 2019 Have you tried lowering the resolution or graphical fidelity yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kylegrey2 31 Posted July 15, 2019 1 hour ago, Eisena said: Have you tried lowering the resolution or graphical fidelity yet? Theres no amount of tweaking that will completely fix the performance issues... ive tried them all. As stated above, the issue is that this game performs poorly on multicore cpu's. I have an above average gaming rig and can hadle every game i throw at it, including a huge library of oculus titles. They need to optimize the game for modern hardware.

CookiePuss 5379 Posted July 15, 2019 For anyone viewing this thread, the patch in question caused a detriment in performance (severe in some cases) without the players themselves changing anything. This isn't a thread about the typical and long known performance issues APB has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
