Odessa 1.8 lag report

1.8 reduced the draw distance some and did some optimizations. You should find your FPS have improved a bit(about 5FPS on my end) and the memory usage has seen a solid drop.(less stuttering) With that in mind...how are things on your end? Is this map playable for you?

Re: Odessa 1.8 lag report

It's playable for me now, but going over to the US side of the map as I did last night, I was getting alot of chugging. It made flying the littlebird particularly hard, and using the rockets in the helos makes things slow to a screeching halt also.

I can see the improvements, I just think there is room for more, a pity because I love the setup of the map.

I must say I am missing my un-gimped Sokol though, too many hind pilots out there now.

Re: Odessa 1.8 lag report

Unfortunately, this map is barely playable for me. Then again, I didn't yet delete some of the unnecessary files on my computer (shader cache etc).
I'll try to clean and return with a report...but if others also have problems on this map...please report

Re: Odessa 1.8 lag report

I chose, "FPS is a bit low compared to every other map but I find it completely playable," but I would amend the word "completely" with "reasonably" to better differentiate it from the second option. In the air, I still get the odd stutter passing over the heart of the city, especially when there's lots of smoke pops. It often doesn't leave much room for error; annoying but not necessarily as map-breaking as it was before. Things usually clear up after a couple of minutes and the odd faux pas here and there.

My computer always resets itself randomly whenever I play this map.

this is with a low-to-mid level computer. I had to turn down my video settings when I started playing POE, but I havent had to do anything else because of this map or the latest patches

Re: Odessa 1.8 lag report

It's still choppy as hell for me and depending on how much I move around I tend to get at least three 1 second-long freeze ups every minute or so.

Re: Odessa 1.8 lag report

i just played on it and have to say its much better for me. I still have to play on med settings or its lag (graphical) city. In 1.7 i played on med and studdered quite a bit in the city, but in 1.8 lag-free for me.

Dang. I thought I was actually killing you because I was getting better. I should have known.

Re: Odessa 1.8 lag report

reduce the map size to 32 and 16 players. I am curious as to what happens when this occurs also.
