Anyone has the same problem as me?
Battlebird’s movement is a bit jerky. Can’t put my mind to where is the problem; Perhaps it is the screen transition during movement + the irregular vertical hops making it feels a little nauseating.
Its interesting but can be a bit annoying, since we are used to the normal instant cam follow.
Its the same thing that happen when you jump, not sure if you noticed that, but it is a small movement when you jump so if you are distracted you barely notice.
Didn’t really notice that during jumping though, maybe I’m distracted during jumping. Can’t really ride on the battlebird for long for me… feels really weird after a while.
Yeah, when you are moving and jumping you don’t notice much, but when you jump in place you will see that the camera do the same movement when you are mounted in the bird.
I think it is FPS problem. It become more obvious because battlebird unlike penguin only hop. It is like making quick step. The camera have to jerk to catch back character in center position.
If you replay it slowly, the screen jerk when FPS hit low 28.

When you have a monitor that has higher refresh than what a game or animation is producing in FPS you’ll start to see stuttering or tearing. There’s an absolutely good chance the animation frames on the bird are locked to a certain amount for what ever reason. I recently went back to playing FFXI and they now have an addon to unlock animation and graphics FPS which my guess was locked for lower refresh TV/monitors in that era.
There’s also an option for “unlimited” FPS which is pretty funny because the animations speed up into hyper speed because they weren’t exactly made to be rendered that fast. So while it could be possible to fix this game’s FPS problems you’re going to notice every little thing they’ve done to cut corners in the production process toning things down for lower end PC’s in Korea.
weird my battle bird…doesnt have that jerking so it might be ur fps…
It might be the case, might be the vertical movement too which other companions doesn’t have that make me feel weird… :x
FPS problem. For a decent computer, the jerk thing doesnt occur often unless you are in crowded areas like Fedimian. When I was playing on my old pc, the screen will jerk when fps drops to around 20. I dont have this jerking problem on my new pc but what annoys me is that my character seems to “tremble” or shake so much when riding the bird…so much that my character appears slightly blury.
Hmm i think this is the case, it will be really great if the movement is like how penguin or other companions. My computer should be considered as decent, with a gtx980.
I don’t think pc specs will affect greatly. Tos FPS is mostly affected by ping. You can test ping your server ip address.
Normally, my FPS range from 40 till 60. But in fedimian chl1, my FPS can drop till 8 and i can’t even dash. (only around the market and warp statue. I can dash smoothly other areas)
