IMPORTANT: Bad FPS? Check to make sure it's using your GPU!

[MoonlitDNC]

During the Network Test periods, we found that the game was accidentally(?) trying to pawn game performance off to your motherboards integrated chip, so it's a good idea to check either your Nvid or Catalyst GPU panel for the game's graphics profile, and make sure you are using your dedicated PCI slot GPU and not the Mobo's iGPU!

Here is a quick and dirty guide for Windows 10 users that have no idea what your GPU settings panel is:

tbh only issues i had in the network tests was the performance running around in the camp and tbh i can live with that as long we aint getting connection issues and ingame performance.

Yeah, I'm really hoping that was fixed up because the game was otherwise running perfectly.

was my experience as well. would be very glad if this was also fixed. the last test was much more stable then the first (successful) one was.

Sadly, it seems camp stutter and UI lag is still present. Very unfortunate. I'm better it's something inherent to the PC port that is sadly not going away any time soon at this rate.

You will need to YouTube search which GFX card you have, and look for either a GBO2-specific guide or a general "stop using your iGPU" guide. It has to be manually changed in your settings panel on the PC.

How would you check this and how can you fix it? I'm sure other people are curious, I myself don't know

I have posted a YouTube video showing the fastest way to get to it, you need to obviously locate your MSGBO2 EXE file where Steam installed it (usually steamapps/common/ folder).

Thank you so much! This helped a lot!

Hopefully the video has been helping folks.

If your visuals are muddy, be aware the game isn't using full x16 anisotropic texture filtering by default - you need to force it in your GPU's profile for GBO2.

The live service currently seems to have a bug in its resolution settings menu too where it downgrades you to a lower setting when you try to set it/alt+tab - make sure that if you're using anything other than Borderless Windowed, that you're actually getting the full resolution that the in-game options are reporting by playing around with it a bit!

I've only got 1 gpu and the game still runs poorly. It caps out at using 75%ish of my 6900xt and 1% of my cpu. There seems to be a lot of optimization that can happen.

idk but it's only horrendously laggy in the base, once in battle it's pretty smooth, or at least feels smooth, I have g-sync so never actually checked if I hit 60.

[sgtcuppin]

hell yeah. thank you so much. i can actually play it now. :D

Yeah, something's going on, and I suspect it's something with the Epic EOS api that's causing the weird UI lag & stutter in camp. I have smooth buttery in-match performance though. The matchmaking is likely outright server problems, but I have the sneaking suspicion that the camp stuff may never be fixed so long as the EOS stuff has been shoehorned into a game that didn't need it on Playstation. Could be wrong in my assessment, but the game is working well enough now that I'm enjoying it without hindrance at least.

Hopefully the video has been able to help folks get their FPS fixed. BamCo ~really~ should have made sure to direct the game to the proper GPU before launch, since we knew it was a problem in the Tests.

it didnt change for me
