It's weird, when I updated it to the only version that supports wide screen play, I COMPLETELY killed my frame rate. Common sense tells me to re install and not update, but I really don't want to play it non-wide screen.

Hardware: Asus P5QL Pro
E6550
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (512 MB)


It doesn't matter what resolution/settings I input, the FPS is never more than 7. Before I updated the game I got 60 easy on high settings.

I have the same issue here, latest version and bad FPS running on Vista 32.

If you're talking about FEAR 1 frame rate issues vs FEAR 2, it's odd you would say that after claiming the card you're using is not much slower than an X1950Pro. My X1950Pro is even a mere AGP version and I have no frame rate issues with FEAR.

Where did you get FEAR 2 from?
No, F.E.A.R. is what I'm talking about, and that alone. I updated(not installed the sequel) and now it has major frame rate issues.

Maybe try changing (or forcing) vsync and/or triple buffer settings in your video drivers. For the most part, if you have one on, then you shoudl ahve the other. But i've seen both setting do some strange things to framerates.

Have you tried the offficial forums? Surely you're not the first to experience this,.

Didn't I just say if you're talking FEAR 1 vs (meaning as opposed to) FEAR 2? It being FEAR 1 makes my point all the stronger, because an X1950Pro will handle it easily even though I'm on AGP and my single core CPU is a slight bottleneck.

Just checked and both are off. I'll try it with them on, but I doubt that will somehow give me better frames lol.
Edit: I stand corrected. This cleared everything right up! Thanks for actually suggesting something helpful!

You're a genius. I just have to start by pointing that out. Just don't reply to my threads anymore.
I already said that I can play the game great if the game is not updated, but the non-updated version of the game does not support wide screen.

not to mention thales100 with a much better system than I, saying he has the same issues. Obviously proving it is not the video card.

So either stop replying in my threads altogether, or stop trying to make a point about the damn 1950(Which I also have) VS the 2600, especially when it has nothing to do with the issue.

Original F.E.A.R. had a problem with mouse drivers which put the FPS to a crawl even on heavy systems. Check out the disable hid-compliant post here:

Well, it seems both of us had our problems fixed with the vsync and triple buffering changes. Thanks though.
