Horrible FPS after the update

[Herr Riebmann]

So that's it again. Every couple of seconds the game has hiccups and FPS generally went down on the same hardware, even while chilling on the Morningstar. Amazing update thus far!

[SHADOW]

same here, i dropped from 240 to 110 in the morninstar, same settings

[Taiji]

My fps is ridiculously high since update.

Same. Performance go so much better for me.

[Dadadudu]

My Performance went to ♥♥♥♥ since the Update as well. Same Settings (mine weren't even reset) and i even lowered some and im still dropping below 60 FPS frequently and my Hardware isn't even remotely at capacity, i guess they made it better for AMD GPUs and worse now for Nvidia GPUs but im going to reinstall it later, going to see if that fixes it.

[butters]

setting got reset with the new hotfix so check them but yes in some parts in SOME maps my fps goes from like 100 to like 30... it sucks

Your settings not resetting is a sign that the update failed.
Uninstall the game.
Delete the 'appdata\roaming\fatshark\darktide' folder.
Install the game again.

Also, another user mentioned that Nvidia reflex causes a big drop in fps and I found it true for me too.

And try using DLSS with AMD FSR frame gen.

It's a crapshoot with this game.

For me? It's now running solid again after the recent patch that reset the graphics settings.
I am using the same settings i was before.

13700K
6950XT
32GB DDR5
980 Pro Nvme

[Sev3nBelow]

my game is cooked, have to restart the game after 1 match.

[Prussian Wolf]

LOOK AT YOUR SETTINGS. Christ.

[Tunnfisk]

But but but.. Fatshark said it wouldn't affect performance!

I've also lost a lot of frames and stability. The game crashes several times per day with the same settings.

Did just that, now my Settings were back to the default ones it applies when checking the Hardware but the Game still runs worse than before (and i still got Fullscreen?). AMD FSR just makes the whole Game look like trash.

I have now (almost) the same Settings aside from even having lowered the Mesh Quality, Ragdolls and Sharpness a bit and i have all my Mods removed but im still only getting 60-80FPS and i got an 4070 Super - prior to the latest Update i had no Problem constantly remaining above 80-100FPS with higher Settings, like 80FPS would still be fine for me but when it drops to around 60 you can really feel it almost like as if its actually below 60

Full Uninstall and Reinstall, no more Mods, lower Settings but still get worse Performance than before...just not fun playing like that when i had better Graphics and Performance before :/

I would try DLSS frame gen if I had a 40 series - But you probably already tried it.
My system:
Latest BIOS and drivers
3080
- Auto OC by Nvidia App
7800x3d
- Curve Optimiser -10
64gb 6000mhz
1TB samsung 990 pro ssd
- I don't believe the ssd or ram type & size matters much.

Windows 11
- Graphics settings
-- Hardware accelerated gpu scheduling OFF
-- Optimisations for windowed games OFF
- Gaming
-- Game mode OFF
- Nvidia CP
-- Anisotropic filtering x 16
-- Max Frame Rate 237 (240hz screen)
-- Gsynch enabled
-- Power management prefer max performance
-- Everything else set to default

I run the game with these settings:

To contrast with your performance, I would have problems getting down to 80-100fps -Usually much higher than that.

And if I turn on frame gen it's absurdly high, but ignores my fps limit in Nvidia CP and I 'feel' a stutter from time to time.

[grasmann]

I believe the constant suttering is triggered when FSR 3 frame generation is enabled but no upscaling is enabled.

Enable either FSR upscaling or Xess upscaling or disable FSR 3 frame generation.
DLSS upscaling might also work, can't test it since I have AMD.
FSR 3 frame generation I think needs some form of upscaling being activate, to get the frame data to generate frames from.

I think atm the option menu in darktide supports having FSR 3 frame generation enabled with no upscaling enabled.

Apparently darktide needs a restart when the error is triggered, changing options accordingly doesn't fix it without a restart.

[Taiji]

The tooltip for FSR frame gen indicates that a restart is necessary.

[Herr Riebmann]

So i've tinkered a bit and turned on "Frame Generation" since i use a 4070 Super. Thing is now its very smooth sometimes, the suddenly super stuttery and then smooth again. Its better overall. Is there a way to show the FPS and Ping ingame? Or just with 3rd party tools?
