Anyone know how to resolve frame freezes when camera moves fast?

[👻 HauntingTheNet 👻]

I have been trying to resolve my fps issues for ages and have slowly gotten my game so its "mostly" playable now. I usually now sit between 40~60 fps by default and a "decent" 26~34 fps when actual combat is going on.

My problem though is that I still have an issue whenever I have to quickly move my camera left / right or up / down to track a close quarters player who is strafing or bunny hopping. The moment my camera movement exceeds a certain amount of twist in a short time (even a quick left/right jerk results in the same freeze even with the camera remaining in same direction), my game camera will freeze in place for a noticable amount of time and then I am left playing catchup on the enemy. Which usually results in my dying ignobly unless I "spray and pray" and get lucky during that freeze.

So my question is... does anyone know exactly what is causing this? Is it vsync? Smooth frames? A compression issue? An issue with shadows or dynamic lighting? Some other setting I hadn't even thought of?

If I knew the cause then maybe, hopefully, I could change that setting and finally get a more realistic gaming experience. I don't mind losing to people because they play better, but this close fighting issue really bugs the hell out of me. I can't learn and improve from dying since its hardware related rather than user related. :/

In options turned off vsych? , smooth frame rate? mouse smoothing ? Fixed mouse sensitivity? Turned off alien FX
Also can try the advance launcher program which is allowed and helps tweak graphics better for your pc wheather it be low end or high http://forums.gamersfirst.com/topic/323099-advanced-apb-launcher/

Sorry for the long delay, just got around to checking the discussions for the first time in a while. Yes, I leave all of those off because in general they only make bad situations worse. :/

Thanks for the response.

From what I, and others whom I have talked to in-game and off, can figure out my problem is unique because I have a top of the line rig when it comes to everything except my GPU.

My GPU is a Radeon HD 6670. While it is nowhere near as top-of-the-line as the rest of my computer rig it should still easily outperform this game when you compare it to any other graphics intensive game on the market during the same time era. Games such as Battlefield 3 can easily keep over 30 fps, yet APBR fails miserably with frame drop down to 12 fps which makes CQB impossible.

Even with Advanced Launcher it still hovers around 30~40 at best and drops into the low 20s in spikes. The problem is that most of the fixes toward frame loss are designed for a computer that is not top-of-the-line and end up at best failing to fix my problem or in some cases even making it worse.

So... I just have learned to get by and not let myself feel bad whenever I get a CQ death from my camera freezing up when I tried to follow an enemy. It really does get annoying at times though seeing an enemy bragging on district or teabagging when you can not even fight them without that handicap. And saying something like "Just be glad I lagged." just sounds so cliche and excuse-ish that I refuse to resort to that.
