What I'm currently asking myself is how your aim as a client is hampered by the host's fps?

Isn't that rather a lag issue?

 

Unreal engine calculates every enemy action depending on FPS. The more FPS - the faster they react and the faster they find you and shoot you. 

This game was made for consoles - meaning - 30 FPS. At 60 - you're already playing against a harder A.I. with much better accuracy.

Yes, I'd never do such a thing. I lag with some of my friends that have good fps but I'd rather have a hard time than have a dumbed down game for everyone.

 Considering locking an fps at 30 frames only affects client end, sure. The only reason for lag in this game is either your connection, the host's connection. Or both of your connection's to Mass Effect Servers.

Oh, okay. So when someone else says literally the exact same thing as I've been you agree with them but suddenly I'm accused of being a "noob"?

As for my group affiliations - At this point your assumptions are just making you out to be an ass. Especially when a fair number of those players are in all likelihood better than you. And for the record? We've both been playing long enough for any comparison between our experience to be a moot point.

I don't have to be in the game with you to recognize that the possibility of your host being desperate enough to intentionally cap his FPS is low compared to the far more likely possibility that he's a gamer on a budget. Especially if he didn't have a mic, which supports what you're describing. Maybe you should've asked him?

Congratulations on making yourself out to be a total ass.


In this thread, their are two players I can say are definitively better players than myself: Feneckus and Bolo_Xia. I am not the worlds best, but I hang with anyone just fine.

As for my assumptions.... I see you did nothing to disprove them. Perhaps because they are not assumptions at all but actually fact? There is a burden of proof now on you, if you want to call me a total ass prove I am wrong.

Congratulations on getting yourself butthurt in a BSN forum :wub:

No sane person would freely lock their fps to 30. On my computer ME3 runs only at 15-30 fps and I tell you, it does NOT make the game easier at all. Try it! And of course I do not host.


OK.

This is a legitimate possiblity, that the host was hosting on a toy.

As you yourself said... "of course I do not host." Good on you....

...

As Air Quotes has said then, this game for PC is actually fundamentally broken. There is no normalization in gameplay, and not enough of a minimal requirement on the user-end.

I still contend that it was exactly the case I describe... The host of that match did lock his FPS, there is no other explanation that fits. I would prefer to never play in a match like that again, thus this thread.


Yes, sadly any competitive part of this game on pc (solos, speedruns) has lost a lot of its meaning, because the achievements are no longer comparable to each other, knowing of this fps issue. This game is more broken than I thought.

Uhm, ok. I'm well aware of that and it's got nothing to do with my question. :?

Wrong post quoted maybe?

On the opposite end - people who play 120 FPS make this game a nightmare for everyone else. 

 

Played it. Not thaaaaaat bad. 

 

For a seasoned player. But it's no way the intended difficulty.

it is really kit dependent.  Tank classes are easier.  Playing 120 as host is actually not bad. Playing it off host sucks, even local LAN.   But that could be the second macine I was using is a crappy computer.   But at 120 the more lag to host you have the worse it gets.

How do you know the host capped his FPS ? 

Besides, if you had a three shot raider, that had nothing to do with his framerate. Just lag.



I was wondering for some time... What exactly is a three shot raider? How it works, is it just the sound? I noticed I got it a little when I started actually using it, not so much nowadays which is a week later.

I didn't do anything to disprove them because I recognize they're completely irrelevant to the topic at hand, and I have no desire to engage in an e-peen fencing match. Ew.

You're the one who for some strange reason wants to suddenly bring player skill and experience into this. At any rate, you're on PC, I'm on PC. We can play together sometime if you'd like.

Seriously, how does that have anything to do with what I've been saying, anyways? And do explain why the moment someone else says exactly what I've been saying you'll trip over yourself in your haste to agree with them. I'm sorry, have we argued before or something? I call you out in another thread? Look, if you can't maintain the objectivity needed to read others posts based on the merit of their words alone without nursing past grudges then how is anyone supposed to trust your credibility with regards to what you're saying.

The core problem is - the game is not consistent at all.

We all play at different difficulty levels, we all create different experience for PUGS who join. All records, solos and all that are meaningless.

Stuff you can do at 30 FPS is a lot harder at 60 and nearly impossible at 120.

Oh, let's stop being naive, BSN. In my experience there are a lot of pc players with subpar pcs hosting, but...

Running with the pizza started with comments on bsn -> someone made a video -> most pugs now know how to do it.

FBW? I remember people from here talking about how easy it was. A thread explaining how to farm. Vids on youtube. Pugs farmed until Bioware changed the map.

And Glacier's room. Before pugs started to farm, surprise surprise, BSN was talking about it.

Someone explained how to cap fps on the ini in that thread and people on the very thread said they were going to /did it.

I gave credence to said poster because he has a system that cannot handle the game at 60fps, which did back up your point and made me recant slightly. I conceded that point to you and him, how you failed to notice escapes me. I guess I should have said something in that quoted post "Oh I am so sorry SavagelyEpic!!!1!"

I am not engaging in an e-peen fencing match. I believe that I know what I am experiencing in-game and you chose to argue with me about that. This is an argument you cannot win, since you were not there and (probably very happily for you ATM) we do not share a mind. I bring up your in-game time and experience as a way to tell you: hey dude, I know what I am talking about here, since you weren't there and I have probably played a lot more, and and a higher level, than you.

This is not me saying I am the better player. It is me saying that I am probably the more experienced player that has probably seen more of the game and its craziness than you have. It is possible that you can run circles around me in-game - it wouldn't be the first time I have been pimpslapped on the scoreboard. I have threads upon threads in this forum illustrating myself getting woefully outscored. And vice-versa, of course.

Nursing past grudges confuses me.... What are you talking about?

If you do not want to show me your manifest, that is fine. My point was that your opinion cannot be more valid than mine; by definition they are both opinions.

Regarding credibility: My experience in this game is an open book. I have 100 friends on my list, and many of them are on the BSN. I have opinions, I state them freely. I generally try not to make blanket statements, but there are cases where I am not perfectly objective. Seems that while you are happy to point out that I cannot be objective (which I find lacking in truth frankly) - your saying that I cannot read and comprehend posts based on merit of words is bs, and you are the one that started name calling here. I am not rich, I work hard in a well-paid blue collar world of heavy lifting, dirt and sweat. How was that an objective statement and not a opinion based on.... ???

Whether the host had his frame rate locked or not is irrelevant. Glenn brings up a very pertinent issue. Because of Caratinoids discovery, people will be experimenting with hosting at locked 30 fps. I doubt there will be an epidemic, per se, but Qui-Gon has the right idea by bringing up the issue now.

sure it is possible that the dude is a budget gamer, but also doesnt mean people should get hostile about it.

what kind of responce did you expect after saying "Congratulations on making yourself out to be a total ass."

just because not everysingle player comes to the forums does not mean that everyone we run into doesn't, nor does it mean they do.

argueing over the chance possibility of either is kinda silly, the OP described what could be considered symptoms of FPS capping, you argued that it is a budget gamer.

but it seems like to me, that the OP is calling out to people and asking them not to use a 30 FPS cap while hosting, which he believes he came across based on the symptoms.

could it be a budget gamer instead? sure, but i see no reason to get nasty about it.

I doubt anyone would be willing to play at 30 FPS if their PC could handle 60 FPS.

60 FPS is just soooo much better. The enemy might have better accuracy, reaction time and whatnot, but the overall experience is so much more enjoyable.

Hell, I play at 90 FPS and the game feels a bit weird when I'm recording and I have to cap the framerate at 60 FPS.

I can't even imagine playing at 30 FPS :sick:

yeah not to mention its actually possible to solo plat with a low level kit useing crappy weapons when you cap your fps below 30, i always wondered how bronze was harder than plat (as seen in vids) till i read about capping the fps, i then checked mine out and discovered my pc is running at 120 nativley (which is why i stopped hosting games very often) its better if everyone plays at defualt fps because it stops a lot of the weird syncro errors, and helps people who end up in a laggy game aim off for kills.....

oh and yes i have played on the xbox and the frame rate is nice and slow and plat on the xbox is like silver on the pc in terms of difficulty based on how the enemy target you........

I have almost 800 hours in this game and three shot Raider if anything does tell there was lag involved. Capping FPS to 30 should halve the amount of data transferred versus 60 FPS game, so since there were still lag in game, it actually goes against scenario where framerate was capped.

Most likely your host PC was a laptop with sub-par graphics chip, and / or using poor WiFi.

WHOOSH

Could you possibly miss my point any more? Seeing as you're being intentionally obtuse I'll drop the arguement because it's getting nowhere with someone as conceited and arrogant as you are. Boggles the mind, really.

But I will point out this: "and you are the one that started name calling here." LOL. Okay. Take a minute to scroll up and see who first turned a productive discussion into a personal disagreement/e-peen contest here. I tried my best to keep it on-track (not an easy task with you continuously attempting to make it personal and attacking me), and you're accusing me of name-calling? Let's not be hypocritical.

And what on earth does your job/financial situation have to do with this? Do you have a habit of bringing in completely unrelated topics to try to bolster your arguement?

Agreed, there's no reason to get hostile or be nasty about productive discussions.

Tell that to him. I have only reacted in response to his unprovoked and unwarranted hostility - I did not initiate.

Go away Savagely Epic.... we will never agree, and now you are the one making an ass of yourself. If you disagree with me and my thread, fine. You will not succeed in turning the thread upside down by lying about how I have posted in this thread.

Good use of vocabulary though, mommy is proud.

I honestly can't believe some of you don't think people will be hosting with capped frame rates. The player base at large has proven over and over that they will use whatever tactics they can to make the game easier. If they think capping the frame rate makes the game easier, word will get out, and they will do it. No question.

The more I think about it, the more I'm worried there will be an epidemic.

hey, you can still host if you turn on V-sync, provided you have a 60hrz monitor, which will give you 60 FPS locked.

otherwise there is a guide somewhere how to modify it.
so you can have the best of both worlds, without driving your lobby clients into insanity.

actually here is the link to that guide:
http://social.biowar...ndex/15865602/1

you could even try 70 or 80 if you want, since you are use to alot higher.

Yes, because common sense would maintain that the person who reacts in turn to unprovoked and unwarranted hostility makes said person an ass whereas the person who attempts to start **** because someone isn't licking his feet is most assuredly not.

You attacked me first. Should I have gotten on my knees and begged for your forgiveness, your most high-and-mighty lordship?

Your conceitedness is absolutely stunning.

or the reverse.  Just turn off vsync and set the frame rate to 120 or above, and troll the other players.
