Bad framerate? UC2 had locked 30 FPS and this one unstable? Someone tell me this isn't true.

Server issues, it was running at a locked 30fps in the morning. I was playing at like 3 fps right now, i could check out dat motion blur at least. :lol

 

[Dr. Malik]

Ugh, the framerate. Wtf

 

[CatPee]

the worst beta i have participated in

So I take it you didn't participate in MoH's.

 

[enewtabie]

I'll come back tomorrow..four locked up matches and I was doing ok before each lockup.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

The manager is back for me.

 

[Uno Venova]

First game I played was good, every game after that was more of a slideshow to point that it froze the console.

Pistols definitely need a big boost in damage, I don't even have a problem with the recoil but as of right now they are pretty useless in firefights damage wise.

 

[Wario64]

It's unplayable right now, lol. It's like running in 2 FPS now.

 

[10dollas]

I don't understand why they slowed down everything. Moving around and aiming feels like I'm drenched in mud. I hope it feels more natural over time

 

[Enron]

the lag is probably making the framerate look worse than it really is.

 

[Rebel Leader]

So I take it you didn't participate in MoH's.

i don't recall that game

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Played a match on airfield where the wheels of the vehicles were moving, but the road was staying still.

 

[ChocolateCupcakes]

I don't like the menus much. I think its the background that makes it look to crowded.

 

[jett]

The menus are no doubt just temporary. You can't even see if your friends are in a party.

the lag is probably making the framerate look worse than it really is.

The framerate is fine, the server are all fucked up right now, that's what's causing the current wave of slowdown across all games apparently. Dat netcode.

 

[BannedEpisode]

This is what happens when a 5 month prior Beta is mistaken for a full fledged demo.

Its unfortunate that recent beta's have made this a common mentality because actual betas usually arent pretty.

 

[LProtag]

Looked fine from what little I played, until I froze.

 

[AngryMoth]

First impressions: muscle memory keeps making me hit r2 for grenade, HATE new sound for the AK, controls could use some work maybe they feel a little more tank like. I'm still really good though which means I automatically like it!

 

[cakefoo]

Question, is this beta in 3D.

Yes it is.

Some issues I have with the 3D (as it is a beta):
Depth needs to be adjustable
Buddy location icon on the hud is hard to focus on
Left and right image inverts when in tight spaces

These all contribute to eyestrain, so I'll play in 2D most of the time of this beta.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Remember the Hong Kong beta?

Good times.

 

[Bruiserk]

Question, is this beta in 3D.

Read the OP.

 

[Card Boy]

I was playing in a match and the framerate was like 5 FPS. What the hell is this bug

Yep i got this too on the airstrip map. I dont think i have ever played a beta this bad.

I played Socom: Confrontation, Resistance 2, Socom 4, Uncharted 2, MAG, Killzone 3, Bad Company 2, Killzone 2 PS3 betas

At least the menu is good haha

 

[Gouda Jouji]

I'm getting Error initializing session manager again.

 

[_RT_]

Well... I'm def done for the day.
4 hard freezes and constant problem with connections, lag, sluggish controls... etc...

I'll come back for more tomorrow.

I still got love for ya ND!

No it's not, not everyone is a pleb who can't tell the diff between latency and low fps.
The game will slow down to like 2-10 fps then crash.

 

[Norml]

I wish didn't need to use the crappy beta online just to get in the menu so I can at least view cinema recordings.

I have had no lag or framerate problems,but do have constant freezing.

 

[Chamber]

The game froze the scoreboard. We're stuck at 49-38.

EDIT - And now there's no respawn. lmao

EDIT 2 - And now I get booted after going 16-3. FACK!

EDIT 3 - And now it's frozen again. I'm done.

 

[LightofRohan]

Yea I hope people realize it is a beta and the game still has 5 months or so!

But with that said, when I played it at E3 it was a little sluggish with delays.

 

[DarkSoul520]

I'm getting the "Error initializing session manger" every time I try to connect.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

My impressions:

- Game feels much slower than Uncharted 2. It's sort of Uncharted 2 x BFBC2 hybrid. I personaly don't like it much and I firmly believe ND should have kept core gameplay mechanic from Uncharted 2 intact. I haven't seen anyone complaining about it.
- Perks are imbalanced. Some are comoletely useless (like the one used to spot player who killed you or to spot power weapons).
- Powerplays are generaly OK, although I dislike them in the same way I dislike catchup in racing games. Curse powerplay is a complete joke and needs to go.
- Weapons have balancing issues as well. AK-47 is completely useless, as is the bolt action sniper and its always on zoom. Pistole needs a huge damage buff, as it does way too little damage.
- Regarding the maps, Airstrip has huge issues in the openning sequences. Attackers usually go down in flames, whether because they accidently suicide or get destroyed while boarding the plane.
- The Castle map is generaly OK, although it's nothing memorable.
- Graphics and especially IQ is a step down from Uncharted 2. I don't know what's the cause of this and is it only caused by usual beta lack of polish, but I remember Uncharted 2 beta looking better than this. I am dissapointed.
- Music is wonderful.
- Facebook conect didn't work for me. I kept pressing Log in (or whatever it says in the FB menu), but it didn't work.
- No crossgame invites and presence data is a dissapointment (although the latter may get fixed I guess).

Overall, I'm not feeling the game. I thought this was going to be simillar to MW1 --> MW2 upgrade - same game, with enhanced gameplay and deeper customization options. Turns out, it's more like KZ2 --> KZ3.

Dude, everyone's complaining about it. This Justin Richmond guy should have never been made game director.

No it's not, not everyone is a pleb who can't tell the diff between latency and low fps.
The game will slow down to like 2-10 fps then crash.

Dude I'm telling you the game was running at 30fps without any problems in the morning.

 

[AngryMoth]

I'm getting Error initializing session manager again.

Same. Think I'm gonna call it a day

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

*UGHLGRLRRRP*
That's the sound if me throwing up in my mouth.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Lag or a bug is causing the fps problem. The framerate was fine earlier when the beta was released. That's what he was saying.

 

[BlindMonkey]

Well I still can't progress beyond "Error initializing session manager"

 

[TacticalFox88]

Yeah, I want some dedicated servers in this bitch.

 

[SneakyStephan]

Dude I'm telling you the game was running at 30fps without any problems in the morning.

Yes and now it's crashing and clearly running at 5-10 fps in the minute before it crashes.
When trying to move the camera around you can clearly see the frame on the screen not changing for 'ages'.

May be the net code causing the game to slow to a chug and crash, but it's definitely low fps and not just high latency.

I'm just responding to you telling people what they are seeing is latency.

 

[Mizzou Gaming]

This game is unplayable right now and thats not exagerrating at all. I'm clueless with how games are made and I know this is a beta but should I be concerned about the awful framerate at this stage of development. The lag was expected but I wasn't expecting the huge framerate problems. As someone who really likes the multiplayer in Uncharted 2 please hold me and tell me everything is going to be alright.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

[Dr. Malik]

Yep, it was running smoothly, then they opened the flood gates and boom, it breaks

 

[KevinCow]

Well I was in a match that was running fine.

Then I died and it wouldn't let me respawn.

 

[DarkSoul520]

Just got in, finally.

 

[Goreomedy]

Wow, what a mess. Finally got into a match, only to get rocket juggled by fire that was coming from behind the walls of the Chateau. Betas on day one are awesome!

 

[spindashing]

What does the Facebook connectivity feature do for this game?

I'll play tomorrow, I have a test to study for and it sounds like the servers are getting hammered anyway.

 

[pigeon interrupted]

Looks ok for a beta, flakey as hell, tho.

Quite bemused by the lack of option to flip the gun reload and grenade throw buttons. Twas there in UC2.

Really makes it hard to aim and throw for me, as I don't sit with four fingers on L1, L2, R1, R2. I have to adjust my grip on the DS3 to release an extra finger by which time I'm dead and the grenade flies off over a building

 

[CryoLombax]

Framerate is fine for me. But everyone is getting freezing. People are complaining about the most irrelevant things so far, *It's A Beta* for the 1000000000th time.

 

[Rewrite]

Remember the Hong Kong beta?

Good times.

I know, man. It's painful going from that smooth experience to this travesty.

IMO,the jaggies for the most part are gone which was the worst part in Uncharted 2 for me.Looking at the guns in cinema are way better than Uncharted 2,so are the faces.Everything else seems about the same but this does have god rays added.

 

[Melfice7]

Still no option to do region locked matchmaking? sigh

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Yep, it was running smoothly, then they opened the flood gates and boom, it breaks

Better in beta than retail.

 

[jett]

Dude, I meant that I haven't seen anyone complaining about Uncharted 2 gameplay.

Dude! Ok.

ND has made unnecessary changes. Sad thing is that Uncharted 2 multiplayer will probably die after UC3 comes out...

 

[SneakyStephan]

Definitely looks closer to 480p than 720 p atm.
I actually exited to XMB to check if I wasn't in SD mode before seeing anyone mention it (which I often switch to to play on a crt when I take it along to my brother's).
