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?

JoelR6612d ago

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

Confused6611d ago

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

Bad connection maybe?

Breakfast6612d ago

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

Jinxstar6611d 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...

Mc Fadge6611d ago

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

paul_war6611d 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.

LinuxGuru6611d 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.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing35d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit35d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing35d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9235d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
