Although, tbh, this game usually struggles during free flight events anyway.

Or just in general.

Besides updates where overall performance has tanked for a bit, if you generally have issues playing this game then that's more likely a hardware issue.

This game is not optimized and requires a beefy CPU (Performs best using an AMD with 3D v-cache ), a fast SSD (HDD will tank your FPS with all the streaming of assets that needs to happen), and a decent GPU.

The game has been running well since they got rid of the dupers, even with Xenothreat running... now if they would just fix the UI so I can see who I'm shooting at when there are targets/friendlies all over...

Nah. It's directly related to player count. It's the servers & engine.

[–] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That definitely plays a part, but if a player doesn't have a computer that's up to spec, they'll have a bad time no matter what.

Sure but that's a very generalized statement for any game and clearly not what I was getting at. Standing in one location and having FPS fluctuations of up to 50 FPS based on server load is definitely not a PC spec issue.
