Can This Game Have A Stable Performance At All?

- disable shadows
- disable weather
- disable window effect

- /hidetrust on
- /localsettings blureffect off

Depending on your system you might want to install project mercury and enable "no CC switching"


The game has and probably always will run like utter crap

It sounds like you may need to upgrade your PC?

I had a lot of the same issues but then I bought a new PC (Decked out, too) and I only experience a SMALL frame drop when 5-boxing at Apex Eft (usually PACKED)

Stop plugging this garbage, it doesn't actually do anything useful for 99% of users.

Windows has done it on it's own forever. It's a creative idea, I'll give you that. But, windows already has it implemented so unless you have some really really weird priorities set then PM does nothing.

If you run crap resolutions you will not get low fps.
but compared to what would be a moderne day resolution ( above 1080p) the game just runs crap. it wants high core speeds
That why I run my mules in smaller windows they never lag.


also its highly subejtive what peopel percieved as laggy.
if im not able to run the game as a contants 60fps) i consider it laggy in this case

Nope. Never. The only time my FPS drops below 30 is literally Apex Eft camp where there are 10-million players and their trusts and bubbles and I'm 5-boxing.

This game is known to be completely trash at how it handles graphics and will try to run everything on ONE core if Im not mistaken?

That's the most pertinent information I could pull from a quick CPUID CPU-Z pull. But yea, I almost never experience frame rate drops in this game. The only time it happens is when I'm SUPER LOADED. Any other time? Never.

Edit:

I play my main on max Resulution (Whatever max actually counts for in this game is lul) and everyone else is Stock. Shadows, Weather, etc.

Anything over 30fps on this game isn't lag, and that system should run it just fine, I'd just turn off more of your effects during battle.

How updated is your video card? That’s really the only thing I can think of. Before I got this PC, veritical confluxes used to murder me. If it’s true that this game only uses one visual core at a time, updating that should solve the problem I think. This game’s graphics are very poor (because this game is very old) so it should be able to run fine with what you have without playing with the settings. I think if you upgrade your visual, you’ll be fine

BEST OPTIMIZATION

PS2 limitations

I only have issues in Dyna D and my fps is stable there but the ping is terrible. Like macro press takes 2seconds to work sometimes.

dual/tribox apex efts, 18man alliances else where, AFAC burns, all are perfect fps. Dyna D does need to be optimized.

However the game is handling instanced content really needs to be overhauled.

In Dynamis D as COR, because of 3 sec delay for action to happen after I click it, if I need to double-up more than 5 times and use Snake Eye, then I usually fail to roll XI in time...

what the autistic...

No, just no.
