in TERA PC - General Discussion
So i was a loyal Tera player for a couple years back when it was Subscription based and even recently. I loved this game to death and everything was perfect. Then something happened. Optimization went down the drain about the time Ravenous Gorge came out(year ago) and Tera is literally unplayable for me.
I would LOVE nothing more than to play this game but i cannot. I run across people that say they have a very bad computer, yet can still run this game smooth as butter. I paid about $1000 3 years ago for my setup(FX 8350 and R9 290) and even on lowest setting, my game is laggy. For me at least, low FPS=LAGG. I linked a video of my 30 second boss fight to demonstrate how bad it is. No, that is not your video buffering, that is my real time gameplay on Preset 2.
Before you ask, yes i did the optimization guide and nothing helps. Am i going to need to build a cheap PC just to be able to play Tera?

    Tweaking will fix your game easly. Not allowed to talk about it there so you'll have to sreach by yourself (from what I saw on the video , you still need to do few optimisations that will makes your game run smoothly)

    i did tweak it though. Every optimization guide did not help

    Tera isn't well-optimized to take advantage of multithreaded systems. I usually ended up with around 20-25 FPS at Vernos with a i7-3770k + GTX 970. Got around 40 FPS after disabling hyperthreading. In other words, gettin' gud frames in Tera requires better single-threaded performance.

    Hmm recently i build myself a new pc, core i5 6500k with 16gig of ram (nothing amazing, i know) but without a new gfx card, still deciding what would be good to run with this setup, but even like this the game runs like butter for me now.
    Its really wierd considering i seen people with beast setups having these problems, almost makes you believe even the optimization problems in Tera are a part of RNG.
    I havent even optimized Tera yet, all i did was a full defragmentation of my hdd together with freespace defrag, using piriform Defraggler, perhaps you could try to defrag your hdd, if you havent done so, makes wonders sometimes.

    Generally i seen people saying the game runs better on intel processors then amd.

    That's because they can't, "tweaking" as mentioned earlier does nothing but nullify certain effects. You can run it on a NASA supercomputer and the game's fps will tank in dungeons or anywhere with a lot of players or effects going off with maxxed graphics. Those saying they getting 60-120+ fps in dungeons are lying, end of story.

    Looks like aerial isnt off.

    They ninja fixed the aerial to my knowledge. I've had it on for awhile now with no problems.

    Yeah AMD CPU is pretty bad for Tera. But even AMD CPUs shouldn't perform this bad. This looks more like some other programm is hogging CPU resources. Probably.

    - Check CPU/GPU temperatures and usages. Next try installing a fresh Windows to rule out mal-ware/viruses.
    - Zooming out also help a bit with FPS.
    - Running Tera on an SSD also does wonder with spikes/freezes.

    That's everything on top of my head at the moment.

    I wouldnt say that. I have core i7 4770s, HT fully enabled and turbo boost enabled too, and GTX 980 reference card from nvidia, I can get 66 FPS most times in cities after reducing lucid effects from max down 1. However, the only time I get down to 40 FPS dependson number of sorcs and reapers, or how long someone maintains growing fury. And yes I've been down to the 20s with all those hailstorms going on and reaper explosive ring going off on them... wasn't fun to be trying to tank during it, glad I wasnt on healer then as it would likely resulted in missed aims for titanic favor...

    I think a way to improve it too is to optimize it not in the gamebut through the nvidia control panel that you can access when you right click the desktop. Mine is still mostly on default settings though so not sure. I just need to go back in there and lock my fps as I'm using a 60hz monitor at 1080p.

    We can't.

    And if someone tries to tell you they're getting 120fps in dungeons, laugh in their face and flaunt the fact that the UE3 can only render 90fps when networking is enabled.

    So, any idea which monsterous-computer-specs would run TERA in stable 60 `Faps Per Seconds` ? :D

    None, unless you turn down all the settings and have a heavily modded engine. Even then you probably won't get 60 consistent FPS in combat. Then you get into mass PvP.

    i5-4690k overclocked to 4.2ghz and gtx 970 I get a constant 80 fps in low populated areas, 35 fps in highwatch channel 1, 30 fps in bg's like fwc and corsairs and 50 fps constant in all dungeons. I am playing on Preset 4 with PC distance at max and characters on unlimited.

    It's all CPU, man. 6700k @ 4.6 with EVGA GTX 1070 FTW and 16gig ram. Get 60-80 fps constant in every dungeon on preset 6. Only ini tweak I use is particle resize.
