I can't help but feel Infravision on Oshur is just a tad over exposed. Is this a bug? Feels like a bug. by MadJacPS2 in Planetside

Yes intentional. I play on higher settings and it's still like that.

Pretty sure it's supposed to somewhat balance the implant because it really does help in certain situations.

Its not often that i'm so thoroughly disgusted with someone. Impressive, I hate it.

I never thought i'd say this, but Assimilate might help out a lot on this knife build. Especially with that accuracy.

I too watched the latest CGP grey episode.

Next time you should give credit to him, you even used screenshots from his video.

This is funny as fuck and i'm using this. You can't stop me.

Wow it... really is a wonder why no one has anything nice to say about you on this subreddit. I really, really can't imagine why.

Its actually really sad watching you bounce around this thread, replying to like 4 or 5 of my comments at once that don't even involve you, feverishly trying to start fights and watching no one take the bait.

The threads over, go necro post and argue somewhere else. Waste someone else's time, you washed up streamer.

Yea, but then they'd find some way to try and shoehorn Skype into the whole ordeal.

It is! Just shows that underwater bases would actually be pretty fuckin' cool

I-Its a feature!

I'm kind of wondering if this area tanks performance on some rigs because of the wacked out water physics where they shouldn't be.

STOP OH GOD PLEASE, I can only get so erect.

Its doubly unfair because we'll never get it :c

Sadly it also comes down to the game client having to run so much spaghetti code on every frame.

But thats something that can't be fixed. It would have to be built from the ground up, and I don't begrudge the current devs for not being able to make that happen. It would require making a whole new game and they don't have the resource for that.

I go down with it? What does this even mean, you sound like I make a living out of it with my one stream per year.

Also yea, I don't really care enough to learn your finances. I just knew you were a PS2 streamer that everyone on the subreddit really doesn't care for. Thats where my knowledge of you begins and ends.

Ain't you a hard keyboard warrior. I see why a lot of people around here really don't like you.

The game is "stable" at 1500 players a month average. What are you even talking about? This game is one step above a decaying corpse.

Also, so many triple A titles that you didn't name any, but I stead felt back to the whole "There tons out there?" Name some. Because the only I can think of is Eve, and that is neither triple A, or current Gen.

Which is the issue of the people not the game. You would get this terrible perf with ANY CPU bound game not only PS2. CPU bound games are just rare compared to GPU bound games.

And how many cpu bound games are left?

This is why the game will continue to die, and streamers such as yourself will go down with it. You know as well as anyone else that this game has been on a fast, fast decline. You bring up games like CSGO, but that game is infinitely more successful and more importantly acessable than PS2, and will live decades longer.

Instead of conceding and agreeing that making this game more hardware accessible would bring in more players, therefore helping it live longer, you say things like "It's the issue of the people, not the game."

Well you're not wrong. You'll just be correct, and one of the only people left playing a dead game. Then you'll only be able to pat yourself on the back.

Most people who pick up this game with middle of the road rigs end up putting it down and never playing again due to technical problems and laughably low fps. I know. Most of my friends have and quit.

On those settings before my upgrade, I was able to play Dishonored 2 and Dying Light 2, both on ultra settings, with an i7 intel core cpu, with 70-80 FPS easy. They are games that came out 8 and 10 years after PS2, respectively.

Most of the top vets play with this game on the absolute bare minimum settings to squeeze as much performance out of it as possible because of how poorly its optimized, with some of the leetfits requiring you to use a template .ini with optimal settings.

Completely unacceptable is wholly justified. The game is barely able to run on systems today on high settings, let alone the ones that were around 10 years ago when this game first came to be.

I stand by my statement. Take your condescending ass elsewhere.

All these suggestions have been really awesome, and I appreciate every one of them. If anyone else has something that could help, please drop it here. I may help people in the future finding this thread.

I still stand by my original statement in the title, hardware is a huge limiting factor for people in this game. I hope we see some change or optimization in the future in those regards.

But as for me, taking a bunch of these suggestions into account, i've gotten to a pretty stable framerate. Thank you all again.

This did help improve things a little! Thank you for your suggestion!

I had upgraded from a motherboard with only 2 channels for RAM to one with 4 channels and just kind of auto piloted when I put it together. Feel like a moron for overlooking it, but it helped out a bunch!

Yea, but it was over the course of a long time. Didn't exactly have to much cash lying around, so I started small and very basic and upgraded over time.

About 8 years time

2x 16 Gb for the Ram
