Incredibly low perfomance in ORvRFollow

PC configuration:
AMD x2 4600+ @2.4GHz
DDR2 4Gb pc6400
9800GT 512Mb
WinXP 64-bit
All drivers are up to date.

I have very low fps in ORvR battles. When entering a keep framerate comes to slide show. In open air mass RvR battles the game is very choppy. The problem exists at any graphical settings. Is there any solution to this problem. I'm looking forward for downloading ISOs of DVDs from retail box. Would it make a difference with patched-to-live beta client?

Dump the beta client immediately and get the actual retail copy installed.

Go into the nVidia control panel and set Anti Aliasing and Antiscopric Filtering to 16x each.

Turn in game graphics to medium and turn off the lighting effects.

You should see normal frame rates in mass ORVR then.

Greetings rushfor!

Agreed, definitely get rid of that beta copy. BUT, do not set AA to 16x (if you can even do that). We need to find out what resolution and screen size you are running first.

If you have a 24" 1920x1200 monitor, set it to just 2x AA, 16x AF. If you have a 20 or 22" monitor at 1680x1050, set AA to 8x. But never set AA to 16x, the quality is not noticeable and the frame rate goes down badly after 8x. Feel free to also turn on the lighting effects and graphics on highest quality, as your card can certainly run it.

I run the game at 1440x900 resolution with no driver options (like AA or AF) forced. Isn't patched to live beta equal to retail copy? It should but the only reason of my low performance i can assume is that i'm not using retail copy.

Something patch to something should never be a guarantee of it = the standalone something. It is strongly recommended to get the retail copy and install it fresh.

I installed retail client yesterday and patched it to live version. Nothing changed. Still having low fps at keep fights and large rvr battles. Seems that the problem of graphical engine. If someone have ok fps (about 30) at fights in keep lord room could you plz post the configuration of your pc.

Try lowering your resolution to something like 800x600 and see if that helps. Then try lowering your graphics settings to bare minimum and see if that helps. There are ways to isolate if a component might be the cause based on those adjustments.

I have almost the identical setup except using an 8800 GT overclocked for graphics and I have been having some of the same issues at times.

While I still have the beta copy as my base (no idea where my original copies are since I just moved) I found that the only way I could avoid that choppiness was to dump everything to fastest framerate.

Other note, if you are using anti-virus software, it MUST BE up to date. I had outdated Norton set up on my PC and finally upgraded it after it expiring for over a year... basically because I was not around for about 9 our of 12 months. This made an immediate increase in my framerates as for some reason there was something partially blocking WAR.

Not sure what else to tell you though...

I play on:

Core2Duo E6750 2.66GHz
4GB DDR2 PC6400 RAM
n8800GT 512mb
160G HD @ 7200 RPM

I run 20-30 FPS in huge battles at 1920x1200 ... So I am not sure what to say.

Is your system running clean?

I'm afraid that WAR + AMD cpu (at least athlon 64 x2) = bad performance. Would be interesting to know if someone has acceptable fps in large ORVR using AMD cpu.

Hmm... define "acceptable FPS". I run the same processor, 4gb ram and a 7600gt and get a slide show (like, 1 FPS) in large scale oRVR at maximum settings. However if I decrease a few things in the settings, turn off combat log, and reduce the buff refresh i get playable FPS (15-20FPS) I could get even better if i turned off spells im sure.
