Inventory lag, anyone know a fix?

[TangoSKC]

The inventory screen, and only the inventory screen, drops my FPS to like 5 (compared to 120 when I'm playing the game).
Anyone know a fix? I tried google but couldn't really find an answer.

Thanks.

As the screen is static, it does not require a lot of FPS to show on screen.

I have an 11 year old computer: i7 4790k processor, Gibabyte Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard, 32MB RAM, 500GB SSD + 4 more drives, GTX 1660 Ti graphics card. I have the game at the highest detail it will provide even with TTAU antialiasing (new patch 2.0.1.7). I'm getting a stable 60 - 80 FPS with 126 buildings and 169 people. Something you have set up wrong or something is taxing your system resources. It's not the game's fault. The new Starfield game on this old build doesn't drop below 40 FPS for me on medium detail. That's my minimum configuration and the game shouldn't be able to run on even the smallest of details. :)

This was a joke by the way, your FPS should stay stable with low variation.
Check your set up and display drivers.
If it is only an occasional happening, I would ignore it.
Hope you find a solution.

That's one hell of an assumption.

Just because the game works fine on your machine, does not mean that it will necessarily work fine on everyone's machine. It may be the game, or it may be the setup: it's difficult to say without investigating further.

So certainly, check drivers are up to date, and take a look at resource usage, etc. But it does seem odd that the fps would drop to such low values on the inventory screen only.

My own recent issues with frame drops (not on the inventory screen) using a 7800x3d and RTX 4090 led me to reinstall both the chipset and GPU drivers. That didn't solve my issue, and I eventually put it down to switching to a heavily forested area of the Valley from Oxbow. Probably.

What threw me was the frames weren't consistently bad in the area, and that I was getting drops at other seemingly random points on the (Valley) map, combined with some environmental flickers/flashing (generally solved by a reload/reboot).

At this point I've got Medieval Dynasty's performance filed under "Generally consistent, but with the occasional unusual issue."

By all means check drivers and whatever, but don't just assume there's no issue with the game because it works fine on your machine. There may be an issue with the game, even if said issue affects a tiny minority of players.

It's not my pc. I easily get 120 fps outside of the inventory menu. It's ONLY the inventory menu that my FPS drops significantly.

Same issue here, playing it on gamepass.

As far as I know, a few people started having an issue with inventory lag since an update last year where they changed the drawn outline of your character in the inventory screen into a visual model.
Most people don't have an issue with it, so tweaking some settings (either ingame or on with your system) might help; though I haven't seen someone post about something that worked for them yet.

maybe u activated unlimitied Weight ? , its an absolutly common problem in nearly all games without hardcode item limit, when u activate such settings, that the Inventory starts to making lower FPS, even Freezes, when u open it.

I had the same issue on the gamepass version of the game. I've turned shadows down to medium and left everything else on ultra and it seems to have solved the problem

It should send the output logs from the game to the studio to deveopers. We can't help him here. I have an 11-year-old computer and I don't have such problems. FPS is from 60 to 80 in every period. Something is wrongly set, or something is eating up system resources.

Since 2.0.1.9 (currently on the public_testing branch if you opt into beta), they added an option in the settings to turn off the dynamic avatar in the inventory screen. This will stop the small movements it makes and should hopefully help with your issue. => settings - user interface - dynamic inventory avatar. (don't forget to accept the changes at the bottom).

Could you try it out to see if it fixes it for you?

Edit: this update is only on Steam atm. Gamepass and other platform users will have to wait for the co-op release with all consequent patches.

Tbf even I get a bit of lag on the inventory screen and my computer is massively over even the recommended stats (I7-13700F, 48GB ram, RTX4080 and M.2 Drive).

Think it maybe a bug with certain peoples hardware, cause I cant see it being lack of stats most people have decent computers nowadays.

Using the Gamepass version and having exact same issue. Following the advice of lowering Shadows to Medium helped a bit. It improved FPS from 5-10 to 35 in inventory. But its still an issue because I get 60-144 FPS when playing the game. Using AMD Radeon 5700 XT graphics card and a Ryzen 7 3700x 8 core processor. Drivers up to date.

Should hopefully be fixed for you once the co-op patch comes to Gamepass with the setting to turn off the dynamic inventory avatar.
