rain performance tank

[r0ttingplague]

anyone having major lag when it rains in the game? im gonna be hopeful and its demo only problem

[SPEKTRA]

I just got my first rain and my performance tanked too

[MINUANO GAMING]

Yup. Rain is dropping me from 100s to 50s, and the performance hit remains even after it stops raining.

It might be a bug? GPU utilization remains at 100% when it rains, but my wattage drops from the high 200s to the mid 100w.

Me too, i needed to restart the game, i hope an update soon to fix that.

+1 yeah it's starting to get annoying knowing I have to restart everytime it rains.

This bug is starting to drive me insane. Rain is so random that it started raining, I closed the game to fix the performance, opened it again, took five steps forward and it started raining again. 🤡

If you exit to the title menu and then reload, it clears the weather and that usually helps me. I haven't found it necessary to exit the game entirely. Hopefully there will a fix for it soon.

After some tinkering I noticed that the game puts itself to background priority every time it enters "rain mode" and stays there with a very low priority in CPU task scheduling.

So if you force the game to be always the top window with high priority you apparently can overwrite the game´s own behaviour by that and keep your performance at a normal level.

You will still take a performance hit during rain but not nearly as bad as before and the overall performance will recover after the rain phase.

I am using the app "Display Fusion" to achieve this and will maybe test a little with "Process Lasso" later this night, but the web is filled with tools that have an "always on top"-option, so no need to make a commitment.^^

Hope ist helps. Have fun!

I have to take a step back here - just had a session and had one rainfall which tanked the performance regardless of "always on top" until I restarted the game and recovered. After this I had a second rainfall and everything went fine, performance stayed stable, but nevertheless I can not describe this workaround as reliable. Bummer.

I have found a "workaround" for the sake of exploration. Get to chapter 5, when Ichiban volunteers to clean aloha beach at sundown. The weather is fixed at this part of the story and it never rains, so you can enjoy the game without having to restart it every few minutes.

Sadly you can only do exploration and side content, no main story missions.

Better than nothing, thx a lot!

By the way: In the Anaconda shopping center there is a sidequest with a guy playing an ukulele and singing something about "rain or shine". And accompanying the lyrics the rain is scripted to set in for a second... and everything goes to hell again.^^

I really, really, really hope this can be fixed pretty quick.

Also having this issue.

My performance never went down during rain, but i had different performance problem. On plaza next to orphanage i had huge fps drops into 20s (otherwise im always at rock solid 60) during dusk in chapter 7. Tbh that was first time i noticed THAT time of day at all and i was there multiple times

Cant try for now because at work, someone tried if the new update fixed the rain performance problem?
