Lower Performance?

[chrsle]

Since it's in test, I won't let myself worry too much...but I get a pretty major performance loss using the same settings that I do on a normal server. Does anybody else? Is this natural? Will this be fixed by launch?<div></div>

It cuold just be because all the zones inhabited by toons under 20 are <b>packed</b> this week.  I've been using my same old custom setting ("high quality," with a few tweaks) and doing just fine, with the same caveat that dungeon crawling or raiding mandates turning it all the way down to extreme performance.  But good ol' writs in the Sinking Sands aren't posing a problem. *shrugs*<div></div>

<div>hm, thats funny, I actually experience better performance on test then on live server, althou, AB is starting to get infamous on those issues.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div>

Up until these test changes now I have always seen better performance on test, but with these and the addition of quite a number of people I finally ran out of memory and had to shut down and restart the game. Yesterday I added another 1 gig to compensate for this situation. Maybe just some kind of optimization issue with so many changes coming at once. But I don't think it is too much to worry about now. I am sure they are aware of this and will be addressed before going to live servers.

<div></div>I've had to adjsut my settings while on the new outposts.  It might just be the number of people running around the zone....at least that's what I hope it is <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<div></div><p>This is a /complete/ guess, but I would imagine the test client is a build that has a lot of extra debugging info in it and would probably behave different from live in terms of perf.  As to the person who said they get better perf - I got nothin'</p><p> </p>
