Zandog Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) The DirectX 9c 2010 redistributable for framerate and graphics optimization that was passed around really helped a lot of people with med to low systems seems to have been changed. I was getting 15-20fps (barely playable) before the idea for this work around was suggested. After installing and overwriting the current redistributable, I was getting 25-40 fps with the same graphics settings and it was a huge difference in gameplay. This latest patch has seemed to have effected or disable that hotfix. Now my FPS is back down to 15-20fps. Is anyone else noticing a drop in framerate?

oursacrifice Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 If true - it wouldn't be the first time Bioware has done something with a patch to remove user control over game performance. One of the earlier patches supposedly removed a .ini configuration that a lot of people were using that improved their performance as well.

Not running that but have noticed a stutter when I actually played until I got a serious ocular migraine from the flashing crap in the UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zandog Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Anyone running DX10 or DX11 distrib's should see no effect. Anyone who is running the DX9c overwrite may be s.o.l. Sure enough the .ini was set back to DX10, more than likely by the patch config defaults. I tried to set it back to DX9c, but it will no longer write permenently. I tried overwriting the DX9c files again, no luck. I think they locked the DX driver set in place so people can't mess with graphics alternatives, not sure. If so, it really screws over people who found a fix for their FPS issues and now can't implement the hotfix again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
