When people say they get bad lag in villan zones, how low are they talking? for me mercy, st martial and grandville all clock in at 6-8fps, every other zone is like 8-12fps. all hero zones manage about 10-13fps so these figures for me are playable.
although recently, if there are a large amount of particles and/or physics then it takes a dive, maybe a bit better than half as brutal as a hamidon raid.

My system:
Pentium D. 3.0 ghz. 2 giggs ram. Radeon x1800xt 256. Creative sound blaster audigy 4. I play on freedom and as a villain
On a lot of missions in groups I go as low as 7 fps and hoover around 7-13 fps. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. Turning graphics down doesn't help either. Its obviously server related.
This is a wake up call you guys better get your [censored] together or your going to be losing your player base. EVERYONE i talk to in game is heated and are about to quit. I don't care if you think this is a sweeping generalization its the truth. ITS SO FRUSTRATing.
There are so many MMO's out their and more coming out that you can't afford to have such crappy performance. I've just finished writting a detailed letter to Marvel telling them how I think cryptic should not handle their game cause they can't get their performance [censored] together. I URGE EVERYONE ELSE TO WRITE TO MARVEL AS WELL. THIS IS UPSURD. Fix your game already. All my friends are leaving this game because of the crashing and performance. And I'm going to leave too if you don't fix it or give us a time frame to when it will be fixed.
This needs to be the top and only priority forget everything else who cares about all the content you can add when we get [censored] frame rates. i'm tired of dying cause of fps. and forget about pvping. SERIOUSLY JUST FIX THIS ALREADY.
Ummm guy...you are on the MOST populated server in the game and to top it off I bet you are on during the busiest hours. Those of us not tied to one server with a similar build to yours are not having any trouble. I stay away from Freedom server like the plague. Maybe your server selection is part of it. So while I agree they need to find a way to address those issues of how many folks are on a server at once. I think your response is WAY over the top. I won't write Marvel as I believe that Cryptic is exactly who should be making their game.
Oh and I bet "everyone" you talk to is on Freedom also? Hmmm?
That's my two cents.

First off your 2 cents is not all that valid. While I agree that the response was not appropriate, however consider this, I have played on Freedom for 20 months, pre-I8 I had zero crashes, zero lag, and zero problems. post-I8 I had slight laggy moments and an occassional crash. However the second the christmas event kicked in I began to crash every night 4-5 times average up to 20 times in one evening. I have stuck with it and I am still consistantly crashing 2-3 times a night since it ended. There is a problem in the game, it eats memory and processor resources like they are candy. And thats my 2 cents.

You know what they say about assuming....
I am NOT on Freedom. Don't even have a toon there. Pre-i8 I NEVER crashed, mapservered occasionally but that's gonna happen but NEVER had a crash.
My rig is built for this game and ONLY has this game installed.
Post i8 I can't exit a PvP zone without have to restart due to lag from a hard core memory leak bug. I have to restart half way through base editing because of memory leaks.
I crash at least once or twice a night since the last patch and that is an IMPROVEMENT from the 5-10 times a night I was crashing post-i8.
There are serious issues with the coding of the game period, end of story. Issues that seem not to be as critical as getting pretty new costume pieces or an invention system.
My 3 month payment renewed in February and I hate to say it and be one of "those people," but if things don't improve by the time my next 3 month payment is about to hit I'm done.
I'm not going to pay for a crappy product like this every month. Would you continue to go to a diner once a week when the food gave you food poisoning every time you went?
NCsoft is starting to loose a lot of their players over the mechanical issues of the game. I know 3 people that have quit in the last month because they got so sick of the crashes, bugs and other BS.
I have experienced the exact same issue. I ran on several 8 man teams for hours with good, solid frame rates (in the 20s and 30s) until we finished an outdoor mission...then the framerate died (down under 10) and was only fixed by a complete close and reopen of the game (tried reloadgfx, but no dice).

Between I7 and I8:
AMD 2.1 Gig processor
GeForce 6600 256mb RAM
1 Gig DDR RAM
80 Gig HD
When my settings were tuned down fairly significantly I got about 50-60 FPS in missions solo, about 25-40 in missions with larger teams.
35-45 FPS outside runnin around
Post I8:
everything the same except I upgraded to 2 Gigs of RAM
Getting about 25-35 FPS solo in mission, settings turned down.
18-25 FPS in mission with large teams, and sometimes lower.
25 FPS max runnin around outside.

Did some tweaking on my settings and have been able to up my framerate back to between 45-64 in mission, solo.
Outside it is a bit better, anywhere from 15-30 depending on the zone. Faultline I find my frames drop outside moreso than older zones.
Inside missions on a 8 man team, I am now getting flip book style framerate action. Was on an 8 man team in Faultline, lvl 23ish with my Ice Tank. All the missions we ran were indoor and my FPS was consistently between 2-8, sometimes I'd get lucky and get up to 12, but that was usually when we were takin' a rest.
The thing i have noticed more than anything that makes my frames bottom out imediately is Warshades, Peacebringers don't really do it as much, but when the WS joins the team, the Frames hit the floor. I thought maybe it was Tendril effects in general, but the Darks don't really affect it the same, i.e. Dark scrapper/Dark defenders.

Before I8 Had no problem with much except for low frome rate during hamidon raids or large scale PvP battles. After I8 Once the holding phase starts and the debuffs are added my framerate drops to 1 and I freeze up after 30 to 60 secs. The changed animation on /rad effects seem to overload everything. I have other friends with same problem, safe mode does not help, tried almost everything to improve performance but it alwas seems to freeze and lock then boot me.

This may make some people mad but I beleive it points at bugs within the client itself or client-driver clashes as the source of most head aches.

The game runs great in high/high, only time i ever have to lower settings is on teams of 6+ in coh or 4+ in cov. Standing out in a rough part of st martial my fps sits around 18. Most missions it runs 25-45.
1024x768x32 bits
4x AA
2x Aniso
Vsync on
Low shaders with bumpmapping (highest my card will do)

PS: AA, Aniso and vsync are set from within the driver rather than in coh.
OK,I think it is high time for a Mods. reply here....HELLO......anyone home.Hmmm, guess not, they are all gone.As will be the player base if they get no reply. This is an ongoing issue.There are at least 3 different threads all saying the same. Some are coming in with numbers,some are coming in with solutions that they could possibly use to fix this problem.What I don't see are replys from any moderator.
Mr. Lighthouse,it is my understanding that you are here to help with community relations. I am not attempting to chastice you,but for the love of this game,someone needs to stand up and post a response to us.You have been quiet for far to long.It is very obvious we love CoH/CoV,however,communication is a key factor in all public relations jobs. Please inform us that you are at least reading these posts and are looking into them. Remember-- communication can make or break a good business, and in this case a very loyal player base
