When I say serious performance issues, I mean the game is basically un-playable and suffers from the following symptoms:
1) Network stuttering . I'll be playing fine when I first join a game, I'll be walking along, minding my own business...then my screen will freeze for about 3-4 seconds, I get that little grey computer icon flashing in the bottom right hand corner, and I die. And this happens repeatedly once every 20 seconds.
2) Framerate issues . Whether I play on full-res or on the absolute lowest settings--it doesn't seem to make a difference. When I first join a server, I'll get 100-200 FPS. Then...for some reason....everything slows down. My frame rate dips to 20....then to 15. Sometimes it'll go back to 30 if I look at the sky, but will dip into 10-15 when I look down at the grass.
I think I have a pretty good computer and other graphics-intensive games run fine.
My Computer
Intel Quad Core (Q8200) @ 2.33Ghz
6.0 GB of RAM
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT
64-bit Vista Home Premium; Service Pack 1.
Can you help me please? I have no idea what is causing these problems.
