I'm noticing it too. I notice things are loading a lot quicker...

Patch notes said this:
The Room Item selection screen in the PC version has been changed to use a [Paged Style System] as a measure to reduce the load.

Think this is the reason?

Loading tunnels have gone from 10-15 seconds down to 2-3 seconds and the normal lobby stuttering mess is buttery smooth currently. This must be some kind of glitch, I refuse to believe Sega have finally fixed this game's horrible performance problems.

My 32-bit XP old PC can't boot PSO2 anymore. When it's supposed to open the window, nothing happens at all.
I dual booted to Win7 and it worked immediately.

So whatever they did probably screwed 32-bit XP install.
Not important to me though. I just have the old PC around to run incompatible stuff.

To be fair, Window no longer support XP since a few years now. So unless Sega get a buttload of complaint, I don't see this change being reverted.

And @Crevox, perfect client mean = no loading lag or lag in general. Which include weapon switching from someone else in the mpa.

I'm not really understanding what you guys mean. What do you mean "perfect client?"

Before the patch, the game loaded the client with random performance drops at start. You could either have a "bad client" with a huge FPS drop on weapon switch, huge area transition time, lag ... or a "good/perfect/god client" with close to 0 FPS drops, smooth game, and short area transitions.

So we constantly had to start the game to check how bad it was, close the game, restart .. and so on, until we could find a perfect or at least decent client.

Now the game doesn't seem to load "bad clients" anymore, this patch is better than porn for people who care about loading time/FPS drops.

You can read more about it in this thread: http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=228755

I never experienced lag when swapping weapons and stuff, but there is that funky delay when loading into areas. My computer is pretty good though, running the game at 144 FPS/max graphics/4x SGSSAA/60+ FPS in 12 man party.

I'm curious now and looking forward to trying the new patch.

Z-0
Nov 25, 2015, 10:32 AM
I run on a GTX980 with an i7, but I definitely noticed this sort of stuff.

Think about when in a 12-man MPA and you might get annoying stutters, or when you go to load the options menu and it freezes for a little bit before progressing, or when you load maps and it just stutters a hell of a lot, causing the load time to go higher.

This is the kind of stuff that a "bad client" makes worse, and it affected everyone, although to different degrees depending on your PC. You'll also notice it more if you do stuff like weapon-switch stepping and care about your loading times as much as possible, as well.

Since the new maintenance, all loads are smooth and no weapons make me drop FPS at all.

Crevox
Nov 25, 2015, 10:33 AM
That sounds exciting, cause yeah, the FPS does spike when the game wants to load things on the fly. If they optimized that, I'm looking forward to trying it out.

That refers specifically to not being able to boot up at all, though, which would be the XP issue. So assuming that's a side effect of the performance tuning there's a good chance it'll be rolled back in the next update. welp

Whenever I install Windows 7 I have to jump through a bazillion hoops just to fix its functionality because they broke so many things going from XP -> Vista -> 7

It sounds like they're gonna look into it, so you probably won't have to quit, Kondibon.

From what I heard, a lot of JP people have really old PCs, so it's doubtful that SEGA would intentionally kill XP support.

I was looking into JP laptop prices and they are literally double the prices where I live, so that's probably one of the reasons why so many JP don't upgrade.

ZER0 DX
Nov 25, 2015, 04:08 PM
It's incredibly insecure now anyway, if you can upgrade your PC components so you can at least run Windows 7 I would highly recommend it.

Also the fact that they were getting complaints about XP means there's a scary amount of JP players still on that OS. I knew Japan was behind the times when it came to PC's, but I didn't realize they were literally stuck in 2003 with them. Explains a lot about their shoddy steam releases that fans have been fixing in under a week lately. Tales of Zestiria says hello.

Hmm, so it was an issue of XP compatibility after all. Was not expecting that Sega would get enough complaints that they would try fixing it though. To those asking why XP still, sometimes we just don't have the resources to upgrade, simple as that. So don't judge, unless you'd like to sponsor free upgrades for anyone still on XP... =w=

I do hope Sega doesn't break what they fixed in the process of fixing XP compatibility though.

My client definitely doesn't run like shit during 12 man MPAs anymore. Lagging behind MPAs has become nonexistent, most evident when I did Maggy earlier and used chain trigger, I could actually start a chain finish without having to compensate for lag by ending it 5-10 seconds early before it would disappear. The game feels much more seamless and enjoyable now.

JP friend with a VAIO that nearly always lags to hell during boss EQs was able to do XH PD without lagging to hell.
Though it just sometimes works like that. Will take some time to confirm that it's because of the new client, but I suspect it is.

Personally, I haven't paid much attention to whether it's been jerking less for me than before. I only got the "bad client" once in a while.
Need to ask my other friend who said PSO2 has been choppy as hell since it started freezing after log out.

Nah, try a OC 4790K (4.6) 16 gigs of HyperX Savage 2400mhz ram, and a EVGA SC 980ti with 2 SSD's and a WD Black HDD for mass storage.

I can smash on pretty much any game that isn't a complete mess like black ops 3 (lmao). Even poorly optimized games like The Evil Within run at a smooth 60fps on my rig. Tomb Raider, MGS5, The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter, and of course my modded skyrim with tons of 2-4K texture mods/lighting mods/weather mods, etc etc. All run butter smooth at 60fps.

Not trying to show off, i'm just being "real" =P

Yet even with my rig I noticed the "bad client". The bad client would make my rig feel like I was playing on a toaster.

PSO2 is the only game that I own that ran like shit. I always found that retarded as hell seeing as all these other games I have look like 100 times better than pso2 and they run awesomely on my rig.

It's kinda lame seeing this game limited to 1GB of memory usage for not being able to use a x64 executable.
It's actually better, pso2.exe used more than 2GB of RAM before (which is suspected to be memoryleak issue), now the process stays still at 1.2GB even though I've left it running since last maint. And 32bit process can use up to 3.5GB of RAM at max.

I'm also running on a toaster laptop, and I noticed the loadings improvement, as well as better performance overall.

I can finally go back to playing in Virtual Fullscreen while keeping 50~60 fps (max setting, except for shadows set to 3), which hasn't been possible since they introduced UQs last year.


I think I have the toaster award in the bag. Vita actually runs the game better.

I'd get a new laptop but I don't really see the need when I have a perfectly good PC with two GTX 680's and an i7 4770k. Just sucks when I'm not at home to use it. Like today.

Actually, I can. I still have a old Packard Bell Legend 747 PC running windows 3.1 from 1993 in the basement somewhere. It's got a blazing fast 33 MHz processor, 250 MB HDD, and 4 MB RAM. I'd try to get PSO2 to run on that but the universe might cave in on itself if I'm successful.

I wish i could have a PC like that :(

I still haven't seen any improvement to load times or performance. I have, however, been getting hit several times at once by the same attack lately. Makes any mistake quite deadly, even with decent HP. Might as well start running a limit break build at this rate.

I didn't have much storage space, so after each Magatsu I quit to lobby and was surprised by how quickly it loaded.
It usually freezes/jerks a little after leaving to lobby, but it didn't.

Dunno if that was because there just weren't many people standing around, or not.

The jerks and freezes in the lobby depend on your client performance, so yes, this update affected that.

I wonder if they'll expand the 1gb memory limit for Episode 4.
Would the higher-res diffuse, spec and normal maps fit into the current 1gb?
And I'm not at all familiar with Vita, but I have to wonder if the Vita happens to have a 1gb limit.

Graphical stuff relies on GPU bruteforce and VRAM, so they can keep their ancient 32bit executable like forever.

I should have known that, but forgot for some reason.
My memory has been so rubbish lately.

You could probably get PSO2 running on minimum settings at about 30 FPS.

I got PSO2 running on Oracle VM Virtualbox a year or so back.
It just displayed the character and some broken background bits. Looked awful, but it worked.

Have any of you tested the 120fps and unlimited fps settings in the launcher?

I did some testing and the "bad" client seems to still be there if you choose those settings.

I'm not really complaining since I play with the 60fps setting because my monitor is only a 60hz monitor so it can only display 60fps so anything over 60fps is useless for me. Plus I use vsync for no screen tearing.

But I just thought it was interesting that the benefits are only for those who play with 60fps option in the launcher.

My game feels very smooth now with the 60fps option but changing it to unlimited makes the lobby very stuttery again.

IMO it's better to set the setting into unlimited, then use FPS limiter app like RTSS, works much better for me at least.

also i noticed PSO2 doesn't go well with flip queue size = 1, have to set it at 2 to make it smoother. that FQS 1 seems to trigger the bad client (i see my GPU only have 60% - 70% usage with that)

Yeah I do a similar thing apart from using Nvidia Inspector to cap game at 120fps. I set the pre-rendered frames (FQS on AMD cards like seilent said) at 2 and its running decent.

should i be setting the pre-rendered frames higher? mines is set to default settings in inspector.

2-3 is alright. Depending on your settings though, assuming you have the same settings or similar as on the Nvidia and AMD Anti-Aliasing thread... 2-3 should be fine. Though, I noticed with 3 and during long, Rafoie inc bursts - sometimes the game lagged/froze apart from my own character and I could still attack mobs but do no damage or anything for a second - few seconds then everything else started to sync back into place. With 2 and during those bursts, no problems whatsoever. Play around with it honestly. If with 3 you're not getting any sort of 'lag' or anything of the sort, then that's all-clear. If not, then 2.

Just a note, the Max Pre-Rendered Frames thing is called Flip Queue Size on AMD cards.
