Performance = gone ;(

[Zzonkedd]

Heya, I've been playing this game pretty much everyday and as of the release of today's patch, my performance has gone down the drain. I constantly stutter and drop to 50 FPS, then back to 72 FPS and it keeps on repeating, making it a rather unplayable experience. Does anyone here have the same issue?

Turn resolution scaling down in options, they added high scaling by default on presets.

Mine was already set to 100% when I booted the game. I can't really go any lower, or else I won't be able to see much :(

Oh man, it really is bad now. Not sure why there are spikes of low FPS now, I even lowered the settings to lower than I had before the update and yup, pretty unplayable. Random freezes, even for a split second... making me nauseous. Even shooting guns freezes the game for a short moment.

Can we get an option go to back to the old version for now?

An option to revert the update would be amazing, it has only been one day and I already miss playing...

Do you have a Nvidia card? They removed DLSS to replace it with FSR which makes no sense at all. Many games have both DLSS and FSR as an option. I have never heard of someone removing DLSS before.

In regards to DLSS, I will paste the answer I used in todays patchnotes comment thread.

DLSS got removed due to not functioning properly with our new settings. Also slows down development of features that actually do work for the majority of explorers. In most cases it doesn’t increase performance, but yes, there were some exceptions. DLSS works well in regular games. But in VR it’s a different story due to high frame rate + high resolution and supersampling (which DLSS wasn’t designed for in the first place) and more. As far as we know we are one of the very few (if not only) VR titles that tried to support this feature.

Most VR titles use openvr_api and I can inject FSR or DLSS and tune it however I like. I have a 4080 and FSR in this game makes text and other random textures a wobbly mess, DLSS worked fine. My performance has also tanked and I'm not seeing a whole lot of objective improvement.

Apologies, I love the game - but 2.6 is a mess. No new content and breaking what was there is never going to go over well with your community.

People reporting these issue should share their hardware.
Because there seem to be a lot of discrepancies, as some people report better performances (you don't hear much about them because people only come to Steam forums to complain), and other worse performances.
In my case :
Ryzen 7 5800x with a RTX 3080Ti
Running the game with MSAA and FSR, all on high, and the game upscaled to 200% using FPSVR
Game looks and run great. Or at the very least it runs as good as it did before.

Also, a lot of people mention that turning Shadows to low seems to improves things greatly for them, so people might try that.

almost unplayable to mee too,

Yup... game is laggy and choppy with any settings combinations for me now... I'll be back once they revert the changes or fix it, for sure

I used to be able to run it at max and now I have to run it at medium to minimize the choppiness... very sad that the latest update hurt the game in both update-wise, and in graphics...

To people having issues make sure resolution scale is set to 100 instead of 150 like some presets. Using TAA or turning off anti-aliasing also helps with performance.

Same here, running on medium with shadows set to low
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X
GPU: RTX 3060 TI

Edit: Forgot to mention, used to run the game on high

The DLSS option looked like junk compared to the FSR mode anyway....that was my findings when using with with a 3080 before the recent updates.

Anyways, iv found it runs great (90fps) with upscaling OFF and VARIABLE RATE SHADING to Quality and render to 120%

Wow with this update, the game has so many studders for me now, I have tried adjusting everything but can't get rid of constant studdering. It used to run pretty well, minor studders now and then but tolerable, this is making me nauseous now- i9 and a 3080

Yeah, the problem isn't really the FPS, they are still the same but once in a while, it stutters and drops to 50 for like half a second which ruins the gunfights :(

I stopped playing this game quite early on because of the updates. I'm just waiting for the completed and final build. What I did play was quite good, but I do remember getting the movement stutters, which is more of a UE4 thing than the specific game.

Back when I played I found draw distance related to some framedrops that seemed to be CPU related. Resolution and other details didn't seem to have much of an effect. Running a 3080 12gb, though.
