Sorry, but that's some pretty poor wording there, borderline an outright lie.

It can be said that absolutely every person could see benefit from optimizations. It's entirely a different thing to say "most users are having problems with poor optimization". I can speak with authority no more than you can, but I would venture to say most people find settings that work for them are aren't having any problems to do the current level of optimization. I use "problem" as a term describing anything that renders the game a nuisance to play or, on the extreme end of things, renders it unplayable.

It would help if you posted your system specs, but I'm guessing your system isn't exactly cutting-edge.

Regardless of the current level of optimization, you should easily be able to find suitable settings to play at, even if it means not being able to max every single setting in the game and in your driver's control panel.

Sure, just be warned ahead of time, a single 7950, even OC'd, might not like you much after this. Back up your own INI before hand.

This is not a fix, this is making PS2 push my hardware even harder then it does on High, by pushing settings to their actual max. The results are pretty, if your hardware can keep up.

PS2 is a dx9 game and because of that all d3d9 rendering/work needs to be done in one thread. They can't give more work to other threads, it just doesn't work that way. And Sony was never good at making games. PS1 has so many bugs still, but that's sort of what made the game fun. Learning all of it's wonky bugs and quirks, and the hilarious things that often happened because of bad programming are what made me keep going back to play the game.

So unless they plan to move to DX11 I should wait for Haswell and hope WCing can get it to 6Ghz?

I just read that apparently setting everything to Low makes more stuff get processed on the CPU. That might be making it worse.

The shear blindness of aircraft doesn't help things at all, obviously, but have you seen how much fire a liberator takes? I can kill a Magrider with rockets faster then I can kill a liberator with anything. AND Liberators can use decoy flares.

Yeah Libs can take a lot of punishment. I've found it works best to empty rocketpods/shoot off nose gun/switch to rocketpods and then to stay on top of them to avoid their main gun. If they have good gunners a well placed shell can take you out in one hit. Not sure what upgrade it is that does it but if you see a lib pilot angling his belly towards you it's best to bug out for a bit cause it packs a nasty punch.

Also the turbo laser is a really great main gun for anti-air. It has thirty rounds but it reloads quick and you can work on the mag size/reload speed. Right now I'm certing into rocketpod reload speed just so I can be that much more annoying though. I guess I'm placing a bet also on the fact that the splash damage reduction won't hurt their functionality too bad. Seems to me that they will still be fine against armor and only slightly worse against infy however.

hahahaha after taking the crown (as TR) after a 3 hour ordeal (11pm - 2am i think) i'm not surprised about the 7 hour thing. The fight started before i joined so that might have been the same fight. A well place sunderer makes all the difference imo.

You didn't happen to be on the Aussie server too right? I was on TR and we were in a squad with a platoon of like 20-25 players, i wasn't there for the whole 7 hours, i had a break for a few hours inbetween, and even ran some other bases.
