Unnaceptable lag on a good rig!?

[Mortius]

Hello I'm having a very laggy experience with the game especially when I enter an enemy base to the point where it's unplayable and got killed because of the lag. I'm able to max out Battlefield 4 therefore this game shouldn't be tanking my computer... Edit: I know that people are probably going to say "it's a beta, stop bashing on it" Battlefield 4s Beta ran 10x better than this and that game is a mess.

I would try running the game and then bringing up the Task Manager and forcing the game to run on one core using Core Affinity. I've noticed some games that are not optimized for multi-core do much better when restricted to a single core.

Talking about BF4s beta running better? To each their own.
I couldn't run BF4 beta worth a ♥♥♥♥, and when I tried to change settings ingame, I got kicked, every single time. I ended up banned from all the servers for it.
Now that the full game is out it runs fine. It's hard to make things work for EVERY SINGLE PC SETUP OUT THERE.
Be patient and give them time, beta is beta whether you like it or not.

That's not the case for this game, I'm running it on a quad core 8 thread CPU (Intel i7-960@3.7ghz)with hyperthreading on and it works fine with default affinity set.
I do have all cores unparked though, and I'm running an HD6990 and 24GB RAM.

Wouldn't that make my cpu hotter?

Yea mines unparked.

Lag is a problem, my computer can run some really good non-pixle based games no problem but when more the 3 enimies are on screen or shooting or if it's raining or something the lag seems to go on for years.

Can't really play this game until something is done. Looked up everyknown fix and none of them worked so I guess I gotta wait :/

Same with me... Trying my best to cope with the current lag.

Only if you've overclocked it.

That was something to try IF you have a problem with running it not if you're doing just fine. I appreciate the feedback however.

It'll make one core run hotter and at a higher load than if you have the load spread across multiple cores.
Overclocking makes CPU run hotter for entirely different reasons and purposes.

Unless you've got a ♥♥♥♥ cooler, setting a program to one core will not overheat it. I've done it several times and the CPU never got any hotter than normal.

I doubt the games code is going to change between PCs in terms of how it handles multi core support. It may work or not work as well depending on PC setup but nothing would effect the games coding like that except actually changing the code itself.
Windows is fairly good at using proper CPU affinity anyway, and developers can set programs to use certain affinity settings as well, so it's not really needed and is more detrimental to do it yourself.

I never said overheat, I just said run hotter.
My cooler isn't the best so it does make things run hotter on one core like that, but does it hit the Tjunction or Tcase max? ♥♥♥♥ no it doesn't.

Core affinity has nothing to do with changing the code and as such running a program designed for single-core that's running erronously on a multicore cpu will benefit from setting it's affinity to a single core. I had this problem with the older version of NFS:MW (not the new jacked-up version ), the game was running erraticly fast until it was set to run on a single core and then it ran normally. A similar problem cropped up in a virtual world like Second Life and an MMO City of Heroes. Again setting the core affinity corrected the issue.
