previous version vs. memory leak

[PsyBlade]

Has anyone tried to go back to the previous version (i.e. 2023-03-19 vs 2023-03-25) to avoid the memory leak? Seems to have helped but I have yet to try the area most problematic to me (the first boss).

(if anyone wants to try: Enter "download_depot 1649240 1649241 9040347422599518007" in steam console and wait for it to finish downloading and tell you where to.)

I tried this solution and it help a lot, still i don't understand if DLSS is working correctly or not :/

This fixed it for me. Just played on ultra for 1.5h without saving and then went to beat phrike without problems. Neither during nor after the fight. Before I was struggling on medium even when saving right before before jumping down. And then I had to to save right after too. I'm so staying on the old version. The changelog is unimpressive even when counting DLSS (which I don't use).

Does this even out frametimes?

[PsyBlade]

I didn't measure anything but it stopped the game from becomming all blury and stuttery. So yes, it did.

Awesome. I typed the command above into the console, but I'm not sure it did download the older version. Is there a way to check?

[PsyBlade]

Look at the console. You don't see any progress but when it is done downloading it prints the location where it was downloaded to.

[BleakCoffee]

Ah, very cool. I had played a game after initiating the download, so there were a lot of lines between where the command was entered and the download finished. Thanks for the help!

Unfortunately, although I think this build is more stable, it still hitches a significant amount for me.

You can move the mouse cursor above the Steam icon on the traybar. If you see speed in MB means the console took the command correctly!

Ah, good tip. Cheers!

The really sad thing about all of this is that I went back and played the PS5 version just now, and it runs so smoothly by comparison.

Is there any way to play the old version without needing the new version installed as well? I like that DLSS actually works but that extra 50+GB is really chewing up space. lol.

[PsyBlade]

When it was done downloading I simply replaced the whole folder. While I did keep the original("2023-03-25") one around Steam should not know about this. So I assume it works fine without.

yeah just move the old version to the place you would have the game normally installed and overwrite the game.

[landfillao]

That worked. Thank you both for the help!
