Performance Issues Megathread

[ard_berlin]

Hello!

We've been working hard to make the game run as smoothly as possible, and we're constantly improving its performance. However, you might encounter issues that we couldn't have foreseen (it's just impossible to test on as many machines as there are possible PC configurations out there!).

We plan to introduce further improvements soon, such as better optimization for Low/Medium settings. In general, any information you can share will be invaluable to us. If something isn't working well, please let us know (and share your PC specs, most importantly CPU, GPU, and RAM!)

Here are some common fixes that can immediately improve the game's performance:

• If you have a high-resolution monitor (2k/4k) try lowering the game's resolution to Full HD 1920x1080
  
• Install the game on an SSD hard-drive
  
• Try toggling vSync on/off to see if it improves performance! :)

The game does not run at all. the first 3 hours were laggy and stuttery as all hell but i could at least play. now i have arrived in some village by the sea and i have less than one FPS even on the most basic of settings and i get the good old "task not responding" every few seconds. due to performance i am prevented from playing the game any further. unless i suppose i load an earlier save and never go back to the castle and village. perhaps that or it is the rain. can i disable the rain?

Can we have a toaster mode?

really enjoying the game, sadly runs quite poorly on my (admittedly dated) rig. with an i7-4790k, GTX 970, and 24gb of ram, i can barely run this game above 40fps with all settings at low, 1920x1080p. only reason my computer (which can run witcher 3 at medium settings, 2560x1080p, 60fps) wouldn't be able to run this game is issues with optimization. strongly recommend focusing development towards optimizing the open world, as a game of this caliber should not require such massive resources. i5 8th gen, 12gb ram and a 1060 6gb for *30 FPS* at all low settings? ridiculous.

The GTX 970 has gimped VRAM. Plus that processor is ancient.

nice game.
do engine uses cache? cache could help with stuttering.

changes nothing about what i said. :3

I got constant crashes in the first 30 mins of playing.
Have a 3090 and a ryzen 9 5900x and constantly got random crashes.
Which is a shame as i was enjoying it,but refunded cause of the crashes.
But i will be re purchasing Tainted Grail when these issues are fixed.

[CynicalCanadian]

Currently unplayable. If its not stuttering then the game crashes none stop. Its not my hardware, as I got a 3080ti and 5950x. No matter what settings I change it either stutters to no end, or just randomly crashes. Hopefully it gets optimised soon as the game play is pretty good and the story is interesting.

fps?? i am getting jumping between 15-30 fps (ok i have midend gpu 4 years old, but given extra 16 gb ram via drivers..)... will this game have optimalization?? all low and still getting 15 lowest .

[Ted]

DLSS/FSR would be a great addition as even with a 4090 I am getting massive FPS drops well below 60FPS, which is pretty bad considering the game isn't exactly next gen looking. Definitely needs a lot more work on optimisation

After some testing i think the fog quality and motion blur are causing some issues. Fog quality set to medium and motion blur off gave me a good piece of stability and fps back.
I7 8700 and RTX 3070.

This fixed my issue of: slow/choppy movement. I also turned off the vsync. Now I have fluid movements :)

I have a high end system and I can't run the game above "low" settings. Keeps crashing.

Game keeps crashing, can't play the game for 20 seconds until it crashes. Started as soon as i've been to the fortress.
Set everything to medium/low when i left the fortress and i have now 3 minutes without crashing. Sent the logs to your email

on discord people who had a lot of crashes have had luck with decreasing the amount of cores dedicated to the game if they had a high core count cpu.
one person decreased the cores to 3 and no longer had crashes. you could try that

Images become more and more jerky as I advance in the game. Sometimes, when jumping, I fall back into another orientation.
Core i7-14700, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 4070
I just turned off VSync, and the game seems smooth at the moment.
