The SF-MMO WildStar has been out for a month now and while it is praised by many critics and fans, there are still some players who find little joy in the MMORPG: FPS issues ruin their gaming experience. Now, a forum post has raised hopes. Apparently, one of the technicians has found a fix for AMD processors.
The SF-MMO WildStar is not exactly a graphical giant where one would expect frame rates to drop, but that is exactly what is happening to some users, who cannot explain it. Numerous tricks and tips are circulating in the forums. Some help, many do not – we have already presented some of the most popular solutions. Since WildStar relies on fluid frame rates due to its dynamic gameplay, this criticism was already a sensitive issue in beta, was often mentioned, and has likely already prevented some players from buying.
Carbine’s president Jeremy Gaffney reassured players before the release that the performance issues of some are due to the new interface 2.0 and that they would soon optimize it. These hopes were not fulfilled.
But now a post in the official forum gives users hope, especially those who rely on AMD.
„I have incredibly good news! One of our technicians has made a major breakthrough regarding the AMD issue! It is now in the testing phase, keep your fingers crossed for everyone,” reported the Carbine employee Virtue just yesterday.
The fans reacted joyfully to it and hoped that the fix would come as soon as possible. This much enthusiasm was probably too much for Virtue and Carbine. Later, Virtue clarified: “To be clear, this is not magic that fixes all problems. We are still testing it. We do not yet know how much better it will run for AMD users. It should improve performance, but we do not know how much yet.”
Tips: Among the tricks that many users swear by is to delete all files in the following folder: C:Users%username%AppDataRoamingNCSOFTWildStar
Even the latest beta drivers from the graphics card manufacturers may help some.
