Dexek Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Hey all, There will be a system update in approximately one hour's time. This will be to fix some graphical issues, and to relabel and add another Dungeoneering world. Mod Easty This is the first big step to the FPS fix. Myself as well as many others are now sitting on maxed 50 FPS. If anyone would like to share how happy they are, or comment on how long the fix took, feel free to do so. Also, please mention whether or not you've noticed a difference in your FPS rates. :thumbup: The dungeoneering labels are now as follows: W32 Dungeoneering: Levels 1-80 W77 Dungeoneering: Levels 100-120W117 Dungeoneering: Levels 80-100 Performance Improvement Update 10 hours ago Today sees the release of a significant performance improvement update to RuneScape which will improve frame rate and the general game play experience, which has been an issue for some players recently. Performance As many of you will be aware, some our previous anti-bot initiatives caused an adverse affect on the frame rate and performance of the game. The Game Engine Team has been working very hard on solutions to this and the update should bring significant increases in overall playability for the vast majority of those affected, noticeably more so on lower-spec computers. Bots As part of our ongoing effort to combat bots, this update also contains additional adjustments to the engine which will significantly disrupt bots. Future Updates These changes are only part of our ongoing efforts to continually improve the performance of the game, as well as to combat bots, and we have further updates in these areas planned for the next few months. At times we may go a little quiet in these areas - this is because it’s often hard to share details of what we’re working on without giving bot makers information that they can use to their advantage. Rest assured, though, that we understand how these issues affect how you play and enjoy the game, so solving them is of paramount importance to us.

Pirkka Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Your dial up has nothing to do with your FPS. Only your CPU, GPU and memory affect it. On topic, I had steady 50 FPS before, and I still do. No change for me, but I'm happy if other people's FPS is getting better. 40,919th person to access Turmoil. 21,559th person to access Overloads. Are there any hidden bonuses here?

Scotticus Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Internet speed has nothing at all to do with FPS. As mentioned above it is your GPU (Graphics Card) CPU (Processor) And your RAM (Memory) FPS Is frames per second, Calculating how many.. Frames per second are being processed.. Back on topic.. I went from 15 FPS To 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwreeTak Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 This seems great. Let's hope at least some of those bots disappear now! I haven't had much troubles with FPS before, but sometimes in places with a lot of people it have become quite laggy. I have tested going to the GE and the LRC on W84 already, and it works just as if there was pretty much none there except myself. So with this update Jagex succeeded anyway. Great work!

Noxx Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I've gone from spending the majority of my time at 5- 7 FPS to now spending the majority of my time at at 50 - 51.I like :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceus Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 So Jagex has taken a low key approach to bots this time, just as they tell their players with report abuse. Hmm.Meanwhile my fps seems to be up to 30 in a completely empty world and around 15 in world 1. That's a slight improvement over about 20/10 before. But I do get 50 fps in the lobby.

Mylez Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Shouldn't affect me too much, my FPS was never THAT bad unless I went maxed settings with AA/Bloom. Happy for the many players it will benefit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I should be able to run max settings at 50 fps, but I've only been getting above 10 in fixed mode and min detail. Let's hope this update changes things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaur Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 After a bit of testing, this stuff really worked.Constant 50 fps in most places instead of normal 30. Haven't tried busy areas yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I don't know whether I'm happy or sad right now. I desperately want the FPS rate to be fixed as I often find myself hovering around 6-10 down from ~40 but on the otherhand I was using the pitiful fps rates as an escuse not to attempt Jad :P Looking forward to trying it out this evening... while still staying in the RuneSpan of course ;) Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Dexek Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 I wonder if this is Optimus. It's just the beginnings. Most bots are online atm, only ones I haven't seen yet are green dragon ones, but it can take time for them to log on. As mentioned, we probably won't see the impact of a large anti-bot update for a month or two.

Mercifull Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 According to Jacmob Optimus isnt just a single bot nuke (like clusterflutterer) but a platform for quickly distributing constant nukes. Perhaps Optimus has now been deployed but the nukes have yet to fire? Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Poppe Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Appears to help me a bit in more dense areas where my fps would drop 10-15. But I know a few friends that had horrible fps since the nuke, so this should be a welcome re-leaf for them :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sohkmj1 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I consider Darkmeyer and Burthope to be the benchmarks because they are the most graphically demanding (and also the most poorly optimised). In Darkmeyer I was up from 10+ FPS on min to 25-30 on all max settings, and from 15+ FPS on max to 50 FPS in Burthope, also at max settings. I'm impressed, although this update was long overdue, and rather smart of them to release this after a controversial update to an already controversial update.

Sy_Accursed Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 FPS on my mac seems to be worse now ='[But then it could just be it needs a restart cause it's being sluggish in general today.

Kirschen Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 So now I can actually rotate my camera without suffering deathly lag and run around areas like Edgeville without wanting to cringe at the thought of a whitescreen. Now I might actually do some things again since I won't suffer so much for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
