just wandering what you folks are getting fps wise on this game? and what kind of system you have.....

reason i ask is ive just built the missus a :

core 2 duo e4700 @ 3.2ghz
4 gig ram
asus gtx460 768mb

only running @ 1360 x 768

and getting a lot of low fps into the 20-30s most of the time,with most settings on high, i can get it to run a bit better running everything on low and no v sync.....

just thought it should have run better than this......

Try running it in borderless windowed mode - L4D and HL2 run like dogs if I don't.
 
Over 100fps in 4 player co-op - something wrong with ur setup cause I ahve a 5770 and a 460 isn't far off top of the line, i have q9550 at 3.8Ghz though. Maybe better cpu helps more.

I'm pretty sure I remember someone saying that CPU helps a lot with L4D2. I noticed a difference when I went from a dual core to a Quad.

ive read that too, i even put a post in the hardware section because i upgraded this 2 weeks ago and didnt have much gain over a p4 3ghz 2gig ram and a x800xt......so looks like ill keep me eye out for a cheapish quad.....
 
Windowed (borderless) does improve FPS unless a popup box moves over it like msn or some stupid windows thing, then it crashes down badly for a moment. Unfortunately i have to run l4d2 at a lower resolution than the screen is so if i up the resolution on windowed to be 'full screen' then i end up with a lower fps in the end....
 
hi there ive tried windowed boarderless and boarded, fps is ok but not to my likeing, still drops to 30 fps with a bit of slow down and jerkyness....

i have no problems on mine but im running a core i7 and gtx280.......

im so used to playing this game with no drop what so ever in fps.......

so playing this on my missus computer i can see why she is moaning at me hehe......

im gonna try a quad when i can get me hands on one cheap enough...and if that doesnt solve it then ill sell the lot and build a new core i7 or core i5 quad.....

I didnt realise l4d2 gave people so many problems, I'm fortunate not have had any

I don't, windowed just seems to get better fps. The only other problem i have is graphics issues where you get weird straight lines from a certain point on models or textures, though that happens on pretty much every game on this pc.

I'm very fortunate as well. I've had the odd bug/glitch now and again, but nothing serious. Touch wood.

Are enough people up for another 8v8 tonight?

I'll come along if i'm free.

On another note, Hunting Party (mutation) on Expert is pretty good. You'd be surprised how dangerous 4 AI Hunters are... they spawn fairly often, especially on the finale. Got seriously screwed over twice by them on the NM finale because they spawn so fast after a tank dies. I joined halfway through the 2nd level and by the end i'd killed 92 Hunters :D

What times everyone doing the 8v8 tonight? might not be back in time but if i am id be up for it
Click to expand...

I'm gonna set one to start at around 9pm tonight.

Btw, I've changed a few small things:

-5 hunters can spawn at a time
-2 Chargers can spawn at a time
-Boomer Spews for longer
-Witch health lowered to 2x normal
-Smoker tongue health decreased to 3x normal (instead of 10x normal)
-Survivor Revive health increased to 50 from 40.
