The really bad drops (single-digit) indeed seem only to happen upon entering an area, ie. after a loading screen. Though I did hear from a friend – using a nVidia card with the proprietary driver and DynamicLights=false – that she's seeing occasional drops/micro-freezes as well. Please note that this is all with the DynamicLights option set to true. If there's some kind of info I can provide you with, which would make this clear, let me know. Maybe Ian from Aspyr can help as well (especially: might any option listed at <<a href="http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/ConsoleCommands.html">http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/ConsoleCommands.html</a>> help in debugging this? Are there other options that might produce helpful output?)? (In reply to Michel Dänzer from <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=84570#c17">comment #17</a>) > Can you attach a new GALLIUM_HUD screenshot corresponding to a remaining drop? Done. As you can see those aren't as bad as they were initially and that's with DynamicLights=true. Still they are noticeable. This graph shows a drop during a fight (first drop till those smaller drops before the last big drop) and afterwards I was running around in that same small area I've been fighting in and was collecting the loot (from those smaller drops till the last big drop). If you stand still the FPS usually go up to ~40 FPS and stay there with only minor fluctuations. Jumping and turning on the spot can trigger a big drop as well. Overall though, I would call the game playable now. Not sure though, if we should split this bug, so one can stay open for Intel and the Radeon version can be closed (maybe with a follow-up along the lines of "Borderlands 2 shows FPS drops – more optimization needed")? Any chance those kernel patches will be applied to the 3.17 tree (point releases)?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
