Yep i am running the latest drivers etc, i am not sure about the fps numbers i get but you can feel the difference between medium and low by quite a lot. Ill just run it on low for now, it looks ok still, but would rather at least have it on medium. :(

You're not the only one.

I've gone from a 3.5GHz 3 core, 4GB, WinXP, 5850 to a 4GHz 6 core, 8GB, Win 7, 6850. Literally NO difference!?!?

Performance on both is 'poor'. I get 60fps on high detail (great) but it often drops to 30fps (awful).

Two completely different systems, one monsters ALL games I throw at it and yet Tribes kills it not even on MAX settings.

WTF? :confused:

I am seeing a trend of AMD processors and graphics cards here (small trend). It is most likely a driver issue or an issue with the game.

I guess the only thing to do is to try different set of drivers, reset the driver settings to default etc...
 
The game still needs some optimisations that's for sure, FPS tends to drop when looking in a certain direction. A prime example of this is on Arx, when you first spawn if you look in the direction of the front entrance of the base it causes a huge FPS drop, in my case drops me a good 60/70 frames.

This issue doesn't happen to everyone, but for the people it does it's extremely annoying.

Some maps are fine, Crossfire, Drydock, Katabatic for example.. no matter where I look my FPS stays consistent and smooth.
 
Gone back to playing this again :) (vip) had to unlock stuff again , and some new maps too :)

I've not got a problem with it. Specs are in sig, and I've got 12.3 drivers.

Just curious, has anyone got any plans to set up an OCUK server when they start renting them out?

I was going to rent a server with some custom rules.


My idea was to get the new Capture and Hold game mode, but take away the spam from it.

So either introducing Friendly Fire, or removing the Mortar/Mirv from Jugg, and the Fractals from Brute (Though I get the feeling to remove spam totally, most grenades would have to be removed, but that would be restricting it too much).
Then I'd possibly remove Tech turrets and double-triple the price of call-ins (Not inventory stations), but reduce the cost of vehicles too and make Grav cycles free.

The idea is to remove the spam from the game play and make it more tactical/fun for everyone, because tbh atm the spam really destroys what could be a fun game mode.

Have they said anything on how much the servers will cost to rent yet?

Not a peep, but I'd still like to have 1 if people would be interested in it. We could decide the rules between us (What to ban and what to leave) and hopefully make a nice home for people to play on.
There is an extensive rules list, so it'd be interesting to see how the server would be created. Would need to keep it filled though.

Had a similar problem on the old system, completely different spec and OS! :confused:

Also noticed that MSI afterburner OSD shows Directx9 before the FPS, I wonder if for some reason the game is running in 9 or that's just a mistake?

It should be running in 9 so dont worry, you can force 10 or 11 but you get some crazy artifacting.
 
Well it's very odd, running some other benchmarks and my system is singing... just not in Tribes.

Shazbot!

I might try tweaking the ini.
 
I can hit Blue Plates pretty consistently with the Soldier and Infiltrator.. But soon as I try the Pathfinders I can't hit them at all.

I'm told all 3 of these weapons are the same.. yet I find the Light Spinfusor so difficult to use at the level I can use the others.

So annoying. :(

You tried messing with settings in CCC?

Well here's a really odd thing, considering my GPU stats suggest around 75-80% use if I overclock I see FPS gains.

In fact I just ramped my 7850 up to max gpu and memory speed and now I'm practically glued to 60fps, which my spec should achieve.

Weird!

The light and stealth spinfusers are the same

The soldier uses a medium/normal one that does 930 damage on direct hit. I find it much easier to use than the light one.
 
Got a few levels on this over the weekend, first time playing. Decided to play TDM to get used to the style and it seems like a good game. Will be giving CTF a go tonight.

Soldier name is OcUKSenZ if anyone wants to add me :)

That's weird, I feel much more comfortable with the Stealth than the Light. The Light projectile (disk) seems smaller to me, I don't know if that is what's giving me a hard time or what, maybe it's just psychological. Or it could just be the fact that when using the Light I tend to be moving faster, my enemies are generally moving faster too, probably just having a hard time adapting to it's inheritance.
