Potential & Memory Leak + Stuttering Fix [See Post]

[Within]

I managed to fix my stuttering as initially my game was unplayable and full of hitching on a 3080 + i9900k

Memory Leak Fix:

Caused by DLSS for some reason and can be mitigate quite easily by disabling DLSS from the options or alternatively replacing the DLL from the game folder.

Download the latest DLSS .dll from here:
https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-dll/

Navigate to your game install path, here is mine as an example:
E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Tower of Fantasy\Tower of Fantasy\Engine\Plugins\Runtime\Nvidia\DLSS\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64

Replace the nvngx_dlss.dll inside the folder with the one you have downloaded from tech power up. Do so by either deleting the file from the folder and replacing it with the .zip or by copying the file from the .zip to the folder itself.

Stutter Fix:

Ok I dare say it worked, before I used the config FPS was disgusting, jumping everywhere. Now after I used it, its actually buttery smooth, there was initial load stutter where I just sighed but then I noticed it completely stabilised which is fantastic. I should add I am very perceptive of hitching and stuttering as it really bothers me

Here is what I did, step by step.

Head to the following path:
C:\Users\yourusernamehere\AppData\Local\Hotta\Saved_Steam\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Open Engine.INI and head use the lines from this pastebin.

https://pastebin.com/jTh3uatM

Copy everything in there and paste it below the core system mumbo jumbo, like shown in the screenshot below:

https://prnt.sc/t8sKpecMiw9B

Then just start the game, once it loads it might hitch momentarily whilst it loads assets but afterwards it should hopefully run smoothly for you as well.

Let me know if it helps.

EDIT:

I forgot to list the presets for some of the stutter fixing configs:
https://www.reddit.com/r/TowerofFantasy/comments/wpaozv/ue4_engine_tweaks_guide_to_improving_graphics_and/

In the aforementioned threat you can see several configs. I am currently running the extreme LOD + stutter fix config which works flawlessly.

It could just be due to the game running at 4K, I would say that is the potential cause if anything. I haven't gotten to Mirroria yet so I haven't done any testing but every other place has been fine with ocassional hitches. I think when this game came to Steam something happened patch wise that broke a few things. RayTracing is also disabled and nowhere to be seen as the game is running in DX12.

Nah, it still happens even if I change it to 1080p. I'm on a 3080 Ti and 3700x, so I don't think it's on my end. It's just Mirroria's entrance. Everywhere else is fine, including in Mirroria itself.

I know some people have been having problems, but at least for me both RTX and DLSS seemed to be working completely fine, and now even after they reverted back to DX11 I'm still not having any issue with DLSS. But not that I'd use it without RTX anyway.

I do hope RTX comesback eventually because the game overall looks very nice.

I have a pc with an i5 10400, 16GB RAM and a GTX 1660 Super 6GBVRAM and samsung ssd drive.

The game before 2.0 was released I was running at a stable 60 fps. In 2.0 everything is stuck, I had fps drops to 50 and 40. It was horrible to play like that.

I wrote an email to the game support and they gave me very vague solutions to check the internet, lower the quality of the game...

I was about to uninstall the game and I don't know why I checked the steam discussions section. I started looking if anyone was going through the same thing and found your post.

I couldn't be more grateful. I did exactly what you share and to be honest, I thought, it won't even work xd

When the game loads everything is now running at a stable 60fps. It goes like silk. Everything goes smoothly even in combat as before.

In the futuristic city it was where I had the most drops in fps and now it is stable at 60fps

:)

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

It's kind of sad that outsiders have to fix this and not the company.

In overwatch 2 I have the same problem. In overwatch 1 everything was fluid at 60fps and now in 2 I have drops to 50. In the forums and support nobody has been able to help or solve that problem.

Anyway, thank you very much for helping Tower players, I was already thinking about quitting the game. But now I'm going to play it more than ever.

Thank you very much!!! :)

Turns out that it, in fact, was on my end. I don't know when or even how, but my RAM got reset back to factory speed (2.1k). I set it back to the 3.6k it should be at, and now even Mirroria's entrance is a stable 60fps after a few seconds.

Very weird. I don't know if it was the game that caused it or something else, but perhaps people might want to check their RAM to make sure it's set to the correct speed.

Haven't messed around with XMP in so long I completely forgot it existed lmao, thanks for the update chief!

Anyone know whats line in config remove stuttering? I not want to change whole settings for that, have old pc and play at minimum settings.

[MDuh]

Bumping this to report the DLSS fix is good. Thanks OP.

Before the game will eat up to 10GB VRAM on my GPU (I never experienced a crash, but I did notice it was using an excessive amount of VRAM).

Now the game won't ever use more than 6GB VRAM on mirroria @ 4k extreme everything w/ DLSS.

I didn't try t he stuttering fix. I stopped using the steam version. I'm just gonna use it when I need to top-up

Is swapping the DLSS files with a higher version one Bannable ?

I don't believe so I haven't been banned and I did this like 2 days ago, several other people have also done it weeks ago without any issue, however keep in mind you are doing this at your own risk and you can just disable DLSS.

Fixed stutter with SSD installation. DLSS replaced with 2.5.0
