Wipeout HD FAQ

[Oryx Crake]

I have no trouble with framerate drops I have to say though hd tvs and computer monitors are slightly different of course... could be you've got yourself a monitor thats optimized for high resolution photo viewing those are generally not as good at fps as your avarage hd(-ready) tv.

of course it's a gaming monitor (2ms), im not stupid u know.
and it's the ps3 that isn't able to deliver 60fps in 1080p when there's alot of action on screen, fact. reduce resolution = higher (more constant) frame-rate, plain & simple. same going as on PC.

I have only noticed slowdowns when there is a lot of stuff on screen, typically at the very start of a track when you have all 8 ships on the grid, but that is over in less than a second and doesn't affect gameplay at all.

I've never experienced slowdown in detonator; and it is incredibly rare in single races. In fact I think all slowdown issues have been online, which indicates it could be a bandwidth issue, which could affect your HDD... but that's pulling straws, and probably isn't the case. NFI, really.

I've been running the game on a Sony 1080p TV over 3 years this month, and I'm usually critical... yet I don't have any significant complaints regarding HD's performance. Oh and, screens don't really dictate any fps drop...

I've never noticed any significant framerate drop either tbh. Any more to the point I wouldn't want to go back to 720p, it looks rubbish compared to 1080.

Anyway aren't we in the wrong thread here?

maybe u guys don't understand what im talking about. i don't mean hard frame-drops, it's more like micro-stutter. i have 'homework' for u, plz set up ur ps3 to 1080p in system settings, go to zone mode, select moa fwd and any ship. now drive flawless until the transition from flash to sub-rapier appears (u should be in the last banked corner after 2nd mag-strip). believe me, u will recognise a very visible stutter during the transition. now set up ur ps3 to 720p in system settings, and redo the procedure explained above, u won't recognise any stutter at the transition between flash to sub-rapier now. hope u'll understand now.

Micro-stutters are a form of frame dropping, and therefore a part of the same category; i.e., they're rare. Next time I play HD I may give it a look, but I'm confident your problem is not widespread.

I am so sick of trying to get the beat zico trophy. Ive got to 30.90 and Ive done 1000 laps on the track to get it that close. I just want to see if i can get someone to do it for me XD. I have been following the video as close as possible and still cant beat it.
