Gryph Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Well the F.E.A.R. multiplayer beta test was released to people with FilePlanet subscriptions. So now the screenshots and reports on game performace are coming in. Screenshots:http://img67.exs.cx/img67/2192/fear3ys.jpghttp://img67.exs.cx/img67/6416/fear20ha.jpghttp://img67.exs.cx/img67/8303/fear30ar.jpghttp://img230.exs.cx/img230/8355/fearcmpbeta15vl.jpghttp://img230.exs.cx/img230/4880/fearcmpbeta22fg.jpghttp://img230.exs.cx/img230/5378/fearcmpbeta32to.jpg This is where I read about impressions of the beta:http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread...56&page=3&pp=15http://ve3dboards.ign.com/message.asp?topic=18531755 Now what's scary is the performace issues. I know it's in beta so it's not optimized but just read some of these quotes from VE3D. The net code was VERY good, i was playing on a server with 120ping and 60 ping and both felt the same....The one problem i did come across is the game did lag alot on my system. a64 4000+ 6800gt 1gig duel channel ram. I could run it at Low-med detail at 1024x768. avg fps was around 20. I asked around and people using ati cards did not seem to have this issue. And not everyone using nvidia had the problem but a few did. I guess its a bug? Now is the time to get your Newer video cards, folks. My P4 3.4/1GB PC 4000 DDR/SB Audigy 2/ATI 9800XT chocked on this game big time. HONESLTY, this is the first game that brought my system to its knees at only 1024x768. I have to run it at either 1024x768 at Low detail OR 800x600 at Medium detail. Just for kicks, I ran it at High detail without AA at 1024x768 and averaged 7fps and got the notice "95% of game ran below 25fps. You should lower your graphic settings." have an ASUS A7V8X-X with 1 GB RAM, Dual 160 GB HDD, Audigy Gamer, Athlon XP 2800+ and a 6800 GT(BFG). I had good frame rates(28-35) at max detail @ 1024 x 768. Here are my system specs: 2ghz AMD Barton512mb pc2700 ramAti 9600 256mb Unfortunately I can't run it at full detail at 1024...I clicked auto-detect then boosted the particle effects and particle bouncing back up to max. It runs pretty smoothly, maybe about 30fps. As you can see, there is a lot of variation in performace. But I think it's clear that an upgrade is in order sometime this year...

Agozer Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Judging by the comments, this game requires a whole lot of number crushing to run smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeval Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I'm guessing a lot of that has to do with the beta-status of the game, but only they know for sure I guess. The screenshots look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryph Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 So far there has been no word on an XBOX version of F.E.A.R. I would know since I'm following this game very closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
