[1.07] Lower frame rate in MP than in SP since new patch

[Aardvark Bellay]

Hi all, i'm asking this on behalf of somebody in the german subforum (he has the game registered, yes).

The problem:
Since 1.07 the frame rate in multiplayer is 25 in contrast to 60 fps in singleplayer, but it worked well before the patch.

The PC:

i5-3450 (3,1ghz)
8gb ram
gtx 560 ti

Thats about the information i got.
As he mentioned that he got 60fps before the patch we ruled out anything regarding the host (no changes on that side), internetspeed or his machine.
So any ideas ?

Has anyone else seen this or just this one guy? If just him it has to be something peculiar to his machine or installation.

Has he checked for newer video and lan card drivers?

 

[Aardvark Bellay]

It didnt happen to him before the patch, but maybe the new patch needs newer drivers ?

I asked him, lets see what he says and no, up to now nobody had such question, but most are probably good enough in english to visit the Techforum themselves.

I'll be back.

He said he bought the PC just 3 weeks ago, did an update for the Graphicscard and that those drivers are probably all up to date.
Another point he mentioned is that he already got 25fps in the lobby before even starting the game.


AndrewT do you need more data, files or anything ? I have no idea on this.

Can you post a full dxdiag.txt please.

Well I have to say I have no idea why this is happening to you and no-one else. It seems the PC is stepping down the graphics speed due to some conflict but I can't see what.

Do you have any other games that use Direct Play? If so do they cause it too?

He didnt have any problems so far. Maybe this problem gets solved by another patch accidently. It seems he (Goldenboy) can deal with it.
Well thanks AndrewT.
