Does the game still have performance issues?

[zeke]

I haven't played since launch, I recently re downloaded the game and the frame drops are still bad, Have they still not patched the issue? I know they addressed it but just curious if they have released anything else

I guess X must be true. If you deny this, you are denying reality.

Because I found X on the internet, in multiple places.

In multiple places from multiple sources with feedback from users with video evidence supporting that X is true, of course it's fair to believe it.

Aside from going to everyone's houses, inspecting their hardware and PC configuration to monitor their performance, what do you suggest do get trustworthy information?

multiple places?

Mtuple sources?

/On a serious note I suggest you make friends irl and talk to them and their friends to figure out what's up.

That's just flat out making things up.

Just wanted to point out that you ignored his reasoning, and example as to why it can be happening and instead just went to calling him toxic because he disagrees with you. How do you expect to be taken seriously if this is how you act? Not only does this makes me and im sure other people think that the whole FPS issue is being blown way out of proportion but also discounts everything you post due to a clear irrational mindset.

I've had many arguments and many disagreeing with me in the past. I would not call most of them toxic. I reserve that for the rare few people that try to gaslight to the point of toxicity.

Like you.

As I said, anyone that claims these issues dont exist is just lying, pure and simple. Its fine if you say you dont have them, but to deny other people have them is ludicrous given the attention given to these problems.

Saying that isnt irrational. Dont claim that just so you can continue to gaslight without backlash.

Maybe 1 out of 5 timesmy game stutters after leaving a grace or taking thew first 2 steps after fast traveling but outside that its pretty flawless. try cleaning them up or something.

The last one is actually more limited, because the game isn't very CPU-intensive, especially since it's capped at 60FPS. It's also a fresh OS install. Also the game runs on a SSD on all of these computers.

The issue is shader-caching and botched memory-management. I can see people on Alder-Lake CPU's with 4600MHz DDR5 memory and 980 EVO's having less issues, because on all my systems the game never hits even 6GB of memory usage (despite 16GB being available) and then starts paging out excessively and in fact, will crash, if there is no page-file or if you'd run out of disk-space. And since even SSD's are much slower than physical memory, this behavior is where i suspect the bulk of the stuttering issues come from, since the symptoms are similar to running out of conventional memory.

All people in my friend-list say they have stuttering issues, all my computers have stuttering issue, DF having stuttering issues, all streamers, i've seen having stuttering and even VALVe shared their experience with those issue, and how they've tweaked shader-caching and the memory-manager for Proton specifically so ER stutters less on the Steam Deck.

People not caring much for stuttering or low performance? Fair enough. People denying issues outright, when they are so well documented? Just plain weird.

To the people saying that issues aren't common well from what I have seen it is mostly with higher end CPU and GPU systems as these seem to have the most issues especially systems from the last 2-3 years.

Also most people with issues just they aren't very vocal about it running around to all 200 message boards on every site about it. From what I have seen of From Soft PC ports over the years the amount is about the norm for their ports so I don't find it alarming. Most of us are used to it, ignore it and just keep playing cause we know their record that they will fix it just they usually take a long time.

Uh, I don't recall FromSoftware ever actually fixing anything in their previous games.

DS1 - Never fixed
DS2 - Never fixed until Scholar of the First Sin
DS3 - Were there any issues in this one? (don't recall)
Seikiro - Never fixed
Bloodborne - Never fixed

Chances are they're never fixing the issues in Elden Ring.

'Cause the engine can't do any better, it's a miracle that they hacked the heck out of it to be able to run an open world game.

Making a new engine with unlocked fps means reworking everything they've been doing over the past 15 years. At some point they will need to, but they still got away and made bank with ER.

1080 at 16 gigs is higher than the *recommended* (Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070, 8GB) specs... what are you talking about?

I only occasionally have stuttering issues, and they are always resolved by restarting the game. I'm running a 1060 6GB with a Ryzen 5600X, and I average 70 fps.

X is true when I have first hand experience of said issues, my friends have first hand experience with said issues and there are actual videos that you can actually watch with your own eyes displaying said issues. Have I dumbed it down enough for you or do I need to find a box of crayons and write it down for you?

Have two rigs I use for Steam related play, and on both a humble and modern pc I have absolutely zero issues after the initial patch releases.

Truly believe most these days are just propaganda to try, and lower ratings. They are all failing often to even get traction, and verify files fixes most individual issues now.

except for the multitudes of connection errors.

Some permomance issues actaully tied to steam; web client. Because from what gathered, it has built-in Chrome, that like to eat some resources.

So you either start steam friends as offline completely (do not confuse it with offline mode) or you need to do some tweaks on mini steam mode. Some poeple in invisible enemies thread claimed that some got perfomance boost. I got solid 60, but that result in my old rig some stutters, so until I find solution for my own rig, I'll stick to average 50FPS.

How do you set that? I see offline but I think thats the later you refer too.

Deleting the game and reinstalling just now helped me some. I put it on its own 980 Pro SSD with just it on that drive and nothing else instead of the one it was on with someother games. Feeling frisky with experimenting now. I found the option to set it to off on start is this what you meant, aint got steam friends anyway not into non co-op multiplayer.

The one in friends list, you can set visibility of that. Then use task manager and kill web client. It's just your steam's thing inside will be killed, not the steam itself. And then launch the game. But don't touch any other section but library.

Ok so kill the one labeled "steam client WebHelper". Got it.


EDIT: Thanks a bunch, I will have to play longer to see if it helps in the long term but in the short term it does seems to run better now between this and a clean reinstall. my FPS is actually hitting 61 on occasions now which it never did before. I had to kill three instances on task manager of the web helper. I am averaging a steady 58-61 fps now and only once has it dipped with one less than a second stutter so far at 53. Thanks again so far so good hopefully this workaround will stay steady.

Try Linux. I recently switched from W10 to Linux (specifically Solus/Budgie distro) for this game and I'm not going back. It's got better frames, it's smoother and less lag overall and even loads the game faster. There's not much tweaking you need to do but you might need to opt in to the "bleeding edge" beta for proton, all the information and help you'll need is on the protondb site for the game. You can see people's proton tests and what settings/configs they used if any but for the most part, everything works with little to no tweaking including the online aspects (I've tested it myself with friends who were on W10).

[sergantuss]

there was not a single optimisation patch since release.
all what got better is EAC(im sure its still ♥♥♥♥ a game a little).
I dont is servers got any more stable as well cuz i droped this ♥♥♥♥ game after ending like 3-4 weeks ago.
on consols tho servers working totaly fine and you dont disconnect in half of the games.

[NimBold]

The game is not optimized for every system. That's the best I tell. On my laptop no matter which resolution, high or low settings, my FPS is the same: 45 in wide areas and 60 in closed ones.
