FPS Fluctuations

Posted by United Kingdom [R]D1ablo on 2010-03-17 02:21:45
In most cases I get 250, but by 250 I mean 250/248 fluctuating.
In smoke is another matter...

What i want to know is when i play cod2 for instance its 250 LOCK, and for what ever reason the game feels a hell of a lot smoother. Now...

Is this because my pc is under performing (which is fine) or is this a cod4 thing? Do others experience the same effect and are there any out there who do get 250 solid?

maybe its pb, maybe its one of your components
make your own listend server with Pb disabled, maybe even temporaly move your pb folder out of the cod4 folder
pb_system 0, all set, go.

yeh my pc is dominant and it fluctuates the same as yours. cic7 pcs ran i7 mostly and were constant 250 but they were basicly stock pcs. so it might be because of that, or the fact theyre i7

if i connect to a server i get 250 fps ,and every 2 seconds it drops to 150 for a millisecond,but thats enough to feel laggy.
lucky me it goes away after a minute or 2.

@ddstr: That's pb lag.

D1ablo, did you try sv_fps 1000 & ob_sleep 500? Especially sv_fps 1000 isn't a really known command but helped me quite a lot.

But it probably is pb, since it didn't happen on CiC, where you probably played with PB off.

Guess it's a placebo then, got it as a tip once @ CoD2 and does help a little.

I think the 250-248 drop is same as the 250 lock on cod2.

drops like 248-250-252-246-254-250 are a COD4 thing, and most of people have it.

PB lagg is like 250-150-248-250-140-250.


248-250-252-246-254-250 is normal like 250 in cod2

Well at CiC7 i had 250 constant no droppings, online i got the same problem (Not cus my pc is bad). Its just because Punkbuster is wank and lags like hell. In pb-off servers my FPS is pretty constant!

I get around 125 cos I have a shit pc. i set cg_drawfps to "0," that way I don't get distracted about it and concentrate on the game rather than the fps. i think most people should concentrate on playing rather than worrying about fps.

about the fps, i got 250/248/252 all the time, its normal, without pb (on lan/private serv) i got 250 steady, so should be pb.

Try windows7, it's a lot smoother and almost always constant 250(on phenom 2 945 @ stock). XP was always flickering, at least for me. The weird thing is - it can hold around 500 or more fps everywhere but 250 is still fluctuating(well it's not so noticeable really). If I change maxfps to 125 it doesn't move at all, so I guess if you use an i7 high-end cpu(plus some good overclock) you could be able to achieve 250 [250-250].

i got the same problem,

its just the pb. becouse when i play on lan, my fps is much better or more stable.
and i think there is nothing u can do about it :)

this really pisses me off aswell :P so ive tested it with my brothe,r set up a local connection and played without PB and FPS didnt drop at all, went on dob server and it flickered so its deffintly down to PB cause of this might be what Srgy said and be the latest promod's fault

Barring the fact that LAN gives you anywhere between 100/1000 mbps.

Not really a suitable test.
25 months ago

true, but if you try go on a server with no punkbuster enabled it still doesnt flicker, problem with that is could it be down to promod cos i cant find a non pb promod server

Test LAN with promod.

Check for even the slightest fluctuations.

Test LAN with Vanilla Mod.

Check for fluctuations again

If there is any issues with promod then it will show.

u guys dont get it, my problem isnt just pb related, my game actually lags at 248fps~ and after 2-3 mins its back to normal for some rounds.

vid_restart is what codehook users use to bypass Xray.

vid_restart out of game, Refreshes directx. (i think)
