Broken Mirror - Framerate Issues

I just purchased Warhawk Expansion #2 - Broken Mirror, and one thing REALLY bothers me.

While I do appreciate how much support goes into Warhawk, and how much longevity Incognito is imbuing into the game, what really bothers me is when an update or add-on BREAKS a game.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?

To what am I referring?

Framerate issues!

I can't stand it! The new ice map is FILLED with framerate hitches and slowdown!

It REALLY throws off the smoothness I am used to whilst flying a Warhawk, and it's rather disconcerting to accidentally suicide into a building because the framerate dropped down to 12-15 fps and I couldn't avoid it fast enough.


Warhawk is a wonderfully smooth game, with framerate issues USUALLY only occurring in the LARGEST of battles, and I am absolutely ASTOUNDED that Incognito would let something bigger like this slip through playtesting.

It's REALLY obvious, and it's FREQUENT.

Anyone else encountering this? I've tried it on multiple PS3s, all with the same results.

I used to like Warhawk because of how smooth and silky it was.

Oh and one more gripe for you guys to hear:

There are no more 32-player dedicated servers.

That REALLY F*CKING PISSES ME OFF.

It hasn't even been a year since the game launched, and already, the biggest servers are GONE.

WTF, Incognito?

sorry no frame rate issues for me....
were are you seeing them exactly?

Confused6563d ago

I have both of the expansion packs and i've never had any problems.

Bad connection maybe?

Breakfast6563d ago

Do frame-rate issues really make people that mad? Thank god i dont notice them...

Jinxstar6563d ago

With a game as fast paced a Warhawk it does. Honestly in a game like Drakes fortune or Gears it wouldn't be a big deal but because of pacing it would be an issue because of the pacing.... As in it's not a fast paced game so you could get by just fine but if it's not a fast paced game it should not have those issues... Warhawk is like other games that require 'Twitch' reactions. Call of Duty, Halo, Burnout and without being able to hit those at a moments notice you die and fail... Same time as long as others have them as well it kinda balances out but honestly whoever is hosting usually will have the highest KDR... So yeah I think it does. but thats me...

Perhaps you're experiencing some lag? Or are you certain that the whole thing slows down?

paul_war6563d ago

wow, I've palyed Warhawk for about 100 hours now, including the new expansion and have experienced a bit of lag here and there but no framerate issues.

LinuxGuru6563d ago

I am not experiencing LAG, people, I experience my framerate issues whilst flying in a warhawk over the middle city area in the Ice Map.

I experience the framerate problems while on a dedicated server, while on a player server, AND while on my own created server.

It's THERE, guys. Do a bit of flying over the MIDDLE of the ice map where the town is, and you'll see. Move up and down as you fly over the town, and that is where the framerate bug hurts me.

Believe me...it's noticeable, and it's a pain in the ass.
