PACwoMAN 37 Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) So i've started playing since end of CBT/OBT start and had a crap PC like most of players at that time. It was a Dual core Athlon x64, GTS450 1GB and 2GB of PC6400@800MHz RAM. The game runs on that PC about ~40fps (minimal settings), launched for about ~30 seconds. Ofcourse after I've upgraded my PC and it was Phenom x6, 4GB of RAM. GTX660 2GB. The 1.6 update was released - game launching increased from 30 seconds to 45 or so, fps was the same as with old hardware. It's about 6 years passed but wtf? i7 7700hq, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, GTX1060 6GB - still fps drops from 100 below 50. U can say "laptop is a crap" and u will be right a little because PC are cheaper/better for the same price. But seriously - game launching for about a minute right now from SSD with 16GB of RAM till Login menu. It's too many. Only Batman AKnight launching for same amount of time cuz unoptimized like shit. APB - ~50fps average on minimum@1080p DooM 2016 - ~80fps average on all max (80-125fps) Witcher 3 - ~52-60fps all max (HW off, with HW 43-57fps) GTA V - ~all settings at max, rare drops to 50fps, most of time solid 80+ Dying Light - all max ~52-60fps (VSync is ON) Dark Souls 3 - all max, solid 59-60FPS (capped by the game) FarCry 5 - ~50fps average, 47fps minimum. 74 max - all max settings Fallout 4 with Ultra High Resolutin Pack (92GB on hard drive) - solid 60FPS all max, 4K textures, VSync is ON. I know about the UE3 "two cores usage", I know about the core parking and etc., but the fact is that the game goes worse each year about optimization. CPU usage about 30%, GPU 35%.

Clandestine 390 Posted September 6, 2018 Optimization will come in 2014 after the engine upgrade that will be able to utilize modern hardware Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevkof 806 Posted September 6, 2018 Every game other than apb that you listed is from 2015 or later, give them some time to get the engine upgrade sorted and then you might be able to make a decent comparison. Though we won't know until that actually happens if there actually is any improvement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keshi 436 Posted September 6, 2018 2014 Q3. I think we are still on schedule maduud so not now atleast but SOON...tm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vsb 6171 Posted September 6, 2018 as usual, the answer is "with the engine upgrade" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
owzzy 181 Posted September 6, 2018 fairly sure your gpu should be working at 100% or close to it when playing games. Maybe its a hardware issue on your side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrandonBranderson 672 Posted September 6, 2018 You can thank G1 getting "creative" with the login screen and main menu for the increased startup time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MartisLTU 265 Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) I still cant forget when G1 made optimization for "low end" PC's and made APB even worst for all kind PC's. I mean at 2013 i was using like 10 times worst PC than i have right now and yeat i was playing with more fps and less lag at same settings im playing right now. Idea : make dist. with 2010-2013 updates ( game perform updates ). i bet this dist. would be over pop. cuz of how smooth it would run.

I think that they scapped some optimizations around 2012-13 stating they were incompatible with something and they will be adde after the upgrade. I believe it was Jotun saying it but it's nearly impossible to find this now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember when a core 2 duo with 3gb ddr2 ram gave me 100 fps stable on an oldschool 1280x1024 60hz monitor :') Edited September 6, 2018 by Keshi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrandonBranderson 672 Posted September 6, 2018 Remember when G1 encrypted the game's files so nobody would steal the Cisco model for shitty mobile games anymore, which did nothing except tank the game's performance? I wonder if Little Orbit could do something about that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortune Runner 796 Posted September 6, 2018 4 hours ago, PACwoMAN said: I know about the UE3 Assuming that you also know the engine upgrade is needed for optimization Little Orbit is working on the engine upgrade and other things that need to be fixed as well And after that upgrade is completed then APB can finally be optimized for today. G1 kept ignoring it and now Little Orbit has been doing all the work. Give them time please they have only been here a few months and the engine upgrade is no small task.

Goldtiger 133 Posted September 7, 2018 As soon as the game is more optimized, I might actually be able to convince a couple of my friends to start playing. One of their main complaints about it was the poor optimization... They'd literally be running it at like 20 frames somehow. Their computers are old, but should be able to handle the game, considering how old it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not in APB. It mainly targets the CPU. Well, at least one core of the CPU and perhaps a second one a little? It's just not built for modern hardware, because it's held together by duct tape and prayer already. 15 hours ago, BXNNXD said: LOD pop-in is off the fuckin charts, that better be an editable value the forced depth of field blur really sucks too LOD is really awful in that video. Looks like zero progress over the current engine. I like depth of field, but it should only start at 100m and be rather subtle. I'd still like to see fog (or smog? heh) in the distance, though, just to cover up lack of details (starting at about 150m).

Virgil 55 Posted September 7, 2018 i doubt its just taking advantage of modern hardware. my current rig i purchased in 2013/2014, and back then i was able to keep 120+ fps in apb all the time, with barely any stutters. my rig has not changed at all, except for cooling, and my performance now is barely 50fps with continuous stutters that get worse the longer i play.
