Reduction in Graphics quality in Online play

[h106frp]

I did find a site that used the same 'vaseline' description and they attributed it to 'resolution scaling' I know this is usually associated with monitor native and would not be load dependent but the later AMD driver appears to process everything internally at high resolution and then has some sort of dynamic scaling system that outputs the image - lots of 'dynamic' stuff going on 

A lot of these advanced features (including Vulkan support) seem to have only recently been made backward compatible from newer cards to the older models - has this behavior started after a graphic driver update or system rebuild?

That is the multi million pound question. Exactly how long this has happened for I am not so sure but it is only recently I have really started to take notice of it. So I think it would be a fair bet that a 'quite recent' update is the cause. Maybe some roll-back is needed. Again, if I can reproduce the problem consistently the cure should be close behind. Thanks.

But this is supposed to give BETTER results in terms of AA, not worse.

Weird stuf ...

Can rule out GPU temps and stuff all rock solid 44 degrees, 26% Usage max (bar a spike to 85%) .

But GPU Memory Usage is 0% Is that normal? Also I am normally seeing up to 190 FPS but online now at only a steady 60, whether on track or in the garage.

Something is amiss! More monitoring required.

Frame rate hit was also reported as a bug with the fancy scaling systems and some existing games, witnessed at the same time as the texture problems

my framerate is dropping significantly on the silverstone server now that so many people are on it.

very strange.

[Napalm Nick]

Yes definitely seems I am locked at 60fps.  No .ini changes to warrant that - it should be capped at its default 200.

So next step is the Catalyst Crap. Lol.

I will have to check that for my game too. MMA cannot stay connected for more than ten minutes it seems. Think we have been EMP'd again

Yes me too. Never had fps problems as bad as this, becoming unplayable with 11 players on it.

I had no problems but i removed the framerate cap, runs fine in game.
(did not test GPOC1 silverstone server)

My entry in core.ini

Code Select Expand


[framerate]
cap = 5 ;; Default = 200, Any value over 1000 or under 10 disables the cap.

I cannot even join it !

[h106frp]

60fps could suggest it has locked to the refresh rate of a monitor profile

[Napalm Nick]

good point H thx

[doubledragoncc]

I noticed a drop of 40fps at some points on Silverstone today.

Did some stream tests and were really jumpy to normal.

the plot is thickening!

[PeterV]

just tested it @ GPOC1, had no problems with framerate.
no drops or big rises hovering around 200-250
