Re: Another Frametime Spike Thread

Talked to a buddy of mine. not sure if he's a computer genius or anything but he said it might be a "memory leak" He said there is not much you can do about it.

  • I just added more sticks of RAM. It seems to have lessened the severity of the spike... but it still occurs like clockwork.
  • Statues update: I dialed back my OC by about 5%, got rid of all the cool guy .cfg settings and moved the game to my C: drive  and it has gone to this (see attached). Does anyone have any insight into this behavior? It's a little less predictable, and it is now accompanied by smaller spikes (not very noticeable).

  • Another status update: I've tried a few things out. I've wiped and restarted windows. I started messing with RivaTSS. The attached is at lowest graphic settings, 1024x768, with frames limited to 60fps. It is pretty smooth, just have these intermittent spikes.

    I started to think that it has something to do with the latency of the server so I also tried a tunneler to see if I could stable out my connection with the server. This also did not work.

    Anyway I'll keep anyone interested posted... any help is welcome.

  • @Arc-ODNWell another day with fooling around with this issue. I was way more analytical today and was monitoring my CPU. Its max usage was the 4th core at 97% but usually hovered around 40~60. My temps were between 45 and 50 C. I'm not sure if its me or the game... I did about 20 different "fixes" such as switching things on and off in windows, regedit, command prompt, etc, and changing the voltage on my CPU and RAM with no luck. What I can say for certain is that it occurs every 1 min and 15 seconds. I'm going to check this thread again tomorrow to see if anyone has an idea.
    This 70ms frametime spike has gotten me killed a couple of times and I'm at the point where I'm just going to go do something else. I tried Respawn/EA.

  • No dice again for another day. Calling this game/thread DOA. Thanks to anyone who stopped by.
