severe fps drop with patch?

[loser]

i updated today and have noticed a really significant drop in fps.

intel 2.2mobile
nvidia 7800gtx 256 meg
2 gig ddr2 dual channel 533mhz


i was running the exact same settings as before and the game is now extremely choppy.

anyone else?

Are all your drivers etc up to date?

[loser]

yup.

i run a clean system with only 22 running process's.

winxp sp3.

Hmm, I suppose the patch could have turned up some settings (shadows or something) - have you checked that your settings are unchanged? Failing that its probably worth contacting THQ support about it, although if this is a bug with the patch it must be something specific to your setup as I havent seen anyone complaining about choppyness in the threads in GD (although it is early days).

all my settings are maxed expect shadows.

resolution 1920x1200x32

before patch my fps would never move below 60, now its hitting 12-15 fps.

-edit-

i believe i found the culprit but i need someone with an unpatched game to confirm.


theres a setting in local.ini
screenantialias=

is it 1 or 0 on the unpatched version? because on the patched version this setting is enabled and once i disabled it, my game is back to normal.

That would certainly be responsible - antialiasing takes a lot of horsepower, and I believe it is disabled by default (so if you have never touched it it should have been off before you patched).

i had to reinstall before i patched.

therefor everything was defaulted.

so its extremely weird.
