    Default WAR performance issues?

    Anybody else with WAR having some performance issues? I can run AoC in almost maximum settings without experiencing any lag. Yet when I run WAR even on medium, the FPS seems fairly low. I tried reducing everything to low and it still doesn't help much. What's wrong?

    High enough to run AoC on almost maximum, lmao.

    People have had problems running WAR smoothly, I don't know why.

    it seems like one of those problems that happens to a few people around, I myself didn't have any kind of trouble running WAR at all on max settings

    I can run AoC on max but can't run WAR on low without lag. ._.

    I'm not sure why, haha.

    Well, it can't be helped. The WAR engine is far from optimized, but Mythic is working on it. There have been a few hotfixes out that have improved performance from OB and launch.

    well i did some research. i guess i'm saved after all. my system can handle the game better when it's finished. but not at the moment right now because the game engine wasn't finished before they released the game, so it doesn't optimize right and it is total crap. and second it causes a memory leak, so it clogs up your ram and eventually cause lag even in the most high-end computers.

    eventually all these things will be patched up, and i'm sure i can run the game in higher performance. so i'll just wait it up.

    and yeah it's not that big of a deal right now, but it's just that i'm kind of curious why it would only run at 30-40 fps when the graphics aren't really the best. although it's good, i should be able to run these type of graphics in a mmo a lot higher.

    so i guess i'll just play it as it is right now until they patch it up.

    There will be a patch this week that focuses on optimizing the game engine, so far for me though, the game runs flawlessly. I just hope they ****ing patch the "need, greed, pass" setup, I hate it when faggots roll for shit they can't use.

    Maybe as you lower the settings it caps the FPS at X.

    Just saying.

    but WAR kinda sucks IMO... i regret buying a 60 day game card, but when Aion comes out.
    lol...war>>>>>>>>>>aion is just pretty gfx and dare i say another generic asian grinder. you gonna be super disappointed if you expect anything else.
    and any game will suck ass if your playing with 3-15 fps thats barely playing at all more like screen shots of what your doing...get a better system. and if you get 3-15 fps in war you prob gonna get like 1-5 fps in aion with all the glitter asian's like to put in their games...
