moh framerate loss - Games - Facepunch Forum

i just got medal of honor today, and it lags whenever i look around (doesent lag at ALL when im not moving the cursor) and idea as to why this would happen? even if i run it on low settings it still lags when i move my view around. any ideas?

Probably cause you don't have enough bites in your megadrive.

-.-

Game settings would be useful too!

He just said low. And unless he has like Vegas compiling videos at 1080 or two iTunes' open then nothing would really affect him that bad.

Could be motionblur, turn it off and see.

Dat awful CPU

must be your graphics card not being able to cache textures fast enough

Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo P7350 @ 2.00GHz 80 °C A really shitty CPU that is 80 °C [b]WHEN IDLE?![/b] Jesus christ, buy a new CPU NOW.

Motionblur and vsync (and other obscure advanced settings like ambient occlusion, don't remember which settings MoH has) take MASSIVE chunks out of your FPS so it's better to just disable those, especially with that rig.

yeah, i know my cpu is shitty (real shitty) [editline]03:10PM[/editline] and its a laptop

Get a real PC.

Your laptop should, by the laws of physics, melt upon playing a game if your CPU is reaching 80°C idling.

yeah, i think that it may be a LITTLE inaccurate :P

Ambient occlusion adds shadowing in areas where two surfaces are close to each other creating a better illusion of depth, and it does eat resources.

im actually saving up the money for a "real" computer. or at least its parts at the moment

Ok, all framerate drops have completely stopped apart from these weird lag spikes that i can stop from happening by minimizing the window. Thanks for the help!

Your computer has cancer, I can't imagine a time where my games just slow down horribly then just get horrid lag spikes.

oh right forgot it's ggd where everyone thinks updating drivers fixes everything, continue on then something about the blind leading the blind...

So [I]yoh[/I] framerate loss is done with?.

Yep. And I fixed the spikes too. Now I can run max settings singleplayer with no lag at all! Thanks for the help

Is your CPU still at 80 °C? [B]COOL THAT FUCKER DOWN BEFORE IT MELTS.[/B]

my old cpu used to go above 100c and it never melted, it was overheating though.

[QUOTE=Odellus;25366520]motion blur, especially in this game, will not eat up a lot of resources, and vsync just syncs your framerate to your monitor's refresh rate, it doesn't lower your FPS.[/QUOTE] motion blur depends on how it's made but I have no experience about MoH so I'll just pass that, but vsync does "eat" your fps. If your FPS is around ~60, it will drop it to 30 every time it goes lower than 60. While technically it doesn't eat your FPS, it can make your FPS to stutter a lot, which is noticeable.

Every MOH game I've had has lagged horribly even on super-high-end graphics cards. I still can't get MOH:PA to run on a GTX 260 without having ridiculous framerate drops.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;25414965]Is your CPU still at 80 °C? [B]COOL THAT FUCKER DOWN BEFORE IT MELTS.[/B][/QUOTE] Not sure if it's the norm, but nearly every laptop I've owned ran at about 80c on idle, and about 10-20C higher under load. A lot of them are designed to withhold higher temperatures.
