Poor performance in Dirtector's Cut compare to OG
Original was running smooth af, no stutters, no frame drops, but in Director's Cut I'm getting fps drops from 100-110 to 60-80 fps while using fast vehicles on roads, also stutters when using scaner.
My setup: RTX 3060 12gb vram OC, Ryzen 5600x, 32gb ram, game running on SSD

Does anyone else have same problem?

P.S. This issue occur only when you import save from OG version. If u started a new one, u won't have any problems.

Same problem for me. I tried everything, even a fresh Windows install. No solutions for now

My game is running just fine, same as it was before the DC Maybe a tiny bit better.

NO I did NOT import my OG save file, I wanted to start a fresh game.

Max settings NO DLSS
150FPS @ The shooting range (a common area where we would be able to easily compare performances)
110FPS inside the Distribution Center West of Capital Knot City
105FPS Running around out side the Distribution Center West of Capital Knot City

Samsung CHG90 3840x1080 32:9

AMD Ryzen 9 3900x @4.7Ghz
Nvidia RTX 2080Ti @2.1Ghz
32 GB DDR4 @3600Mhz
Samsung PCIe3 NVMe SSD 970Pro / Samsung 860Evo
Custom EK W.Loop 1200mm Rad space

Window's 11
Nvidia driver version 511.23

Win10, 5800x, 3080, 32gb ram, and installed to a 1tb nvme and the DC performs worse than the original. In areas where the original would be pretty solid 144, the DC version ranges from 100-125 with dips under 100 in some places. Its not as nice as it used to be.

Nobody's making you enter these threads and answer them either. Food for thought.
I'm having the exact same issue.
SPECS: rtx3060ti, ryzen 5 3600, 16gig of ram, running off a 970Pro Samsung SSD.
I did import my save file.

I'm experiencing FPS from 80's down to the mid 50's, especially when I'm on the bike, on a paved road, and when enemies show up. Whenever I toggle the settings in-game, it seems to make the drops worse, I've switched from MAX settings to default, DLSS at quality, I get drops, switch it to performance DLSS, still drops, switch it to ULTRA performance, and it drops still to the low 50's. I've found that if I cap the FPS to 60, it stays at 59 fps around 60% of the time, and low low 50's the rest of the time.

Do you not see how posting the same information in multiple threads is counter productive ?

I dont think so, more people talking about it, more chance developers will notice and fix it.
[XGS]DonkyBoY Mar 31, 2022 @ 6:49pm 
but a single thread with the topic talked about and more information from more players all in the same place would make it easier to solve the issue.

Not to mention weed out the troll posts and stop the spread of false misleading information

All helping people having a better time and fix things quicker.

Yes, this was an imported game save.
Khser Mar 31, 2022 @ 8:08pm 
i have 0 issues, didnt import save though, started anew

The problem exists, there is no point in discuting here. The issue is relevant for owners of not very powerful CPUs. For example start location screenshots on OCed AMD FX8300 + 1070 on the same graphic options (max preset, then no DoF, no motion blur, no CAS/FSR/Scale image, no VSync, TAA enabled):

Old version:

DC version:
https://ibb.co/j5r9L9j

Even rounding it will be 70 vs 50

Probably a side effect in the changes in render distance/lod distance.
