World of Tanks Beta

Anyone else get low fps like dropping from 50 to 30 if u look a certain way etc. I have even tried setting most things to low it doesnt really help much. I tried the quad core trick of using a bat file so core 0 of 0123 is free and wot is moved to core 1 instead but that didnt really help.

I use 2x aa and high textures and other things i change to try get better performance but no good.

Wish it just would stay 50+ fps instead of fluctuating constantly. :(

Wouldnt mind knowing what others gfx options are like and if you get constant high fps or fluctuates like me.

Oh and is the ping being reaching 100-110 recently? Has for me.
 
The maus isn't horrible at all, the only major major issue is the gun. It fires slower, has less penetration, and less damage than the IS-7. The armour is totally acceptable on most battles as long as you use it right. The gun is just SO underpowered, it just dinks other T10's 80% of the time.
 
@ Skeeter... what is the ocuk channel called?

my ping is always around 40-50 on the euro server,

Not noticed my fps fluctuating but I will check it later.

Yeah I've got roughly the same system, replace the GPU with a 4870 512meg and I've grown a bit sick of the drops in FPS, its was perfectly playable just really annoying when it kicks in at the wrong time. Set it up to roughly medium settings with some a bit higher and its smooth now. For me the biggest killer was the high texture settings, might be because of custom tank textures though.

For the ping, not played it enough recently to notice but I was getting a lot of 'red ping light' (server lag? or what ever you call it) stutters the other day even though my actual ping was smooth.

Playing with spec in sig @ 1920 x 1200 everything maxxed AA on i normally get 50+ fps. Some levels rape the fps. Specifically the one with the valley one side, town on the other with a lake in the middle with a path next to it. When in the valley at the top, when in sniper mode my fps drops to 10 - 15 but otherwise its runs pretty smooth whole time. I dont think the game is optimised for more than one core yet either.

Regarding the Maus, it does have some weakpoints (gun mantle, taking damage from track shots) but i think they are getting fixed in a future patch. Part of the problem with the maus, is it cant be played the same way an IS7 can. AN IS-7 is a very good solo tank. IS-7 VS Maus, solo battle IS-7 will win. If you put a maus with support + IS-7 with support, the MAus should win. For some reason everyone starts shooting a maus when it appears, probably due to its size. It can take a serious beating while your other tanks are fee to fire. Not to mention in city maps, when the maus cant be flanked its very strong.

Also bear in mind, the IS-7 has something like 60mm rear hull armor, where as a maus has a lot more as well as a lot of hp.
 
Just logged in today for the first time in ages and decided since the beta is almost at an end to use my spare gold thats came in over the last few weeks, the 5million spare credits I had from the 5x exp event and a little bit of free exp I had to go back and buy a KV which I skipped with free exp the first time, a PZ4 which i've never even researched before and rebuy an SU85 & DB that I havnt used since the September softwipe, bringing me up to a silly number of 12 tanks. Been quite a lot of fun, only bad thing is I didnt realise the KVs 107 is different from the Su85s 107 so I've still got to grind that out.

Also I did the memory fix for 64bit and I can now run the game smoothly on mostly high settings, with a constant 40-60fps depending on the map.

I got my VK4502 last week. At first i hated it, felt it was weaker than my King Tiger but after playing it more its good fun. Just started the grind to the Maus gun then only the maus left. I doubt ican get the maus in time but maybe. Im finding it very hard to actually make any money with it though, even with premium. My jt i can make cash very easily, panther 2 not so much but still easier.

Game is looking like end of March for release. It would be nice to test the Maus out first but i think il end up selling all my tanks just to buy it. Saying that ive got quite a few worth a bit (Panther, Panther 2, Ferdy, JT, VK4502, Hummel)

What memory fix would that be? cant say ive come across any issues regarding that but im 64bit so would be interested to know where you found the info.
 
Theres a program somewhere that you run on the world of tanks exe and it changes something, i think theres a limit of how much memory it can address as standard. I downloaded it via a link on the forums from a "out of memory" thread, but i cannot remember if it was on EU or US forums though.
 
Just found this game and it looks really interesting. Is it worth joining the Beta now or should I wait for release?
 
Wait and visit the forums to see the multitude of problems with the game before you start because for some people the problems are game breaking i am nearly at the point of leaving it for good so sick and tired of paying for ammo that disappears when i fire it.
