fps drops
anyone else getting fps drops in the forest where last light inn is? I keep my fps capped at 60 and It stayed at 60 for all of the other area but in this area I'm dropping to like 20 fps in some places, my specs are in my profile but I should't really be getting fps drops like that especially when I'm playing at 1080p

Act 3 is bad as well dropping sub 30 even with all settings on low. Funny that going down to low from ultra only gets a few extra frames.. CPU bound maybe.
Switching from Dx11 to Vulkan made me go from sub 10 fps in the City to flat 60. Worth a try?

Vulkan crashes my PC unfortunately. I’ve heard of the performance hits and am not looking forward to the towns/cities with my antiquated GTX series.

I was on Vulkan but since the last patch was getting graphical artifacts in convos. Swapped to DX11 still no improvement in FPS but the artifacts went.

Try turning of "Bloom" solved the artifacts for me, Credit goes to another User though :D

Game was running smooth 60 until I got to moonrise towers, there I started having frame drops to 35-40, now in act 3 it's almost unplayable, can't get more than 40 frames on my 2060super, have tried Vulcan, low settings, DLSS on/off, lowering all settings, lowering resolution, nothing seems to work sadly, was loving the game

same I'm at moonrise towers right now everything else is fine while playing but the cut-scenes are unwatchable they jump from 60 to 20 or below even when I'm just sitting on a choice screen and nothing is changing.

it was bad before but bearable now I'm actually just considering dropping the game and that's a real shame because I'm loving it.

That's odd I also have the frame drops at moonrise and in act 3 but cutscenes are always smooth for me. NVIDIA just dropped game ready drivers for Baldur's Gate so here's hoping there are improvements!

game is kinda wonky still. ACT 1 runs PERFECTLY as, but severe fps drops in the City and random areas in act 2 and 3. this is on a 4070 @1440p.

Having fps drops into 30s in act 2 moonrise towers (cutscenes mostly) as well. @1080p and RTX 2070. Most of the game just runs perfectly between 60 and 130 fps

Ok so I’m also having FPS drop at Moonrise towers (specifically during a big fight on the first floor). Game has been running smooth at 60fps this whole time but the moment I entered combat there FPS dropped to 30 randomly. Once I’m out of fight, it goes back to normal. Walking around and cutscenes work but I think the amount of spells or something was affecting the FPS in that area. Not sure! Last Light Inn also has random drops but it has been fine for the most part. I would love for them to optimize some of these areas. I’m almost scared to get to the city if the drops happen randomly like this.

RTX 3060ti @1440

Same problem here 60 fps during act 1 and 2 and when I arrive at the big city it's unplayable (even on low DLSS performance) i have a laptop rtx 3050 and Core i7-11800H 8 Core CPU Speed 2.4 - 4.6GHz
I understand that my laptop isn't the best but drop from 60 to 20 it's sad

Yup same on 6950 Xt, Vulkan/dx11 are exactly the same. Game needs some big time patch’s for act3 performance, No way in hell they are going to get this act running solid 60 on ps5. Moonrise tower itself had similar fps variance.
