Any plans on optimization?

I too custom made a beast PC for this game right before it went live.

I too use SDD.

When I turn on the option for Depth of Field, the game is very choppy.

When I turn this option off, I have no more choppiness.

I have DoF off and it is still much choppier than it should be.

If I can run better looking games at 60+fps easily, there is no reason this game should run like it does, without all of the settings even maxed. It looks half as good as some other games yet runs twice as bad.

Since 1.18 went live most of the choppiness went away for me, yet it is still very much present at times. I don't have a ssd atm but I imagine with it I should be almost as smooth as butter for the most part Always forget to pick one up hehe Anyone else notice less choppiness with 1.18 as well?

My PC runs Crysis almost on full settings. Individual animated hi-res foliage swaying in the wind with draw distances as far as the eye can see. Smooth framerates.

XIV bad framerates the grass is a flat texture and the chunky trees pop into view within 100 meters also the foliage looks low res un-animated and really odd.

Something is definitely not right here.

I'm not sure it matters but I'd much rather have a lot worse graphics than this and see other players in the distance more. Usually people pop in and out of view way too close. In XI at least it was easier to follow a group because I could actually see them.

Seems like a case of bad servers combined with bad graphics draw-order prioritization.

EDIT: Also, there is no way that other guy is maintaining 60+ fps with a single 5870, unless he is playing at a tiny resolution or something.

I never said I maintain 60+ fps with a single 5870. Where did you read that? I said I have 60 fps most of the time with my single HD5870(which is overclocked) and always 60fps with Crossfire.

edit:
SE please offer a setting to increase or decrease the maximum player count displayed at once. It would help ALOT imo. An even better solution would be to implement either multiple models with different levels of detail or let this be done by tesselation (probably not gonna happen but there's nice techdemos showing how this works).

I think most of the problems with stuttering comes from the servers. I don't think ANYBODY can maintain a solid 60fps without getting an occasional hiccup here and there. Hopefully they'll fix it, but I doubt it's their top priority...though it should be. They should also optimize the game to run on weaker systems.

I agree that it definitely should be a priority. With a lack of content, or a lack of X feature that someone might desire, you can always forget about that whenever you are doing something else in the game. The sluggish performance occurs with everything you do. It's like a constant frustrating aspect of the game no matter what you are doing.

fast SSD (400mb second+) & a fast CPU will solve most your problems (3.4ghz+ 4 core+)

solved mine last year.
