FRAME DROPS/STUTTERS

[zennby]

historically this game has had issues with optimization and making everything run smooth, but it was tolerable for me and i assumed a large amount of it was because of my extremely outdated GPU (rx570). Today I upgraded to an rx 6650xt, but my frames are still incredibly low, around 50fps in game and dramatic drops to 15fps ive seen, or even lower.

The persistent drops and stuttering has been happening for a little over 1 week now and I thought surely a brand new GPU that is twice as fast as the one before would change at least SOMETHING ?

Does the game heavily rely on the servers / your internet connection to render everything in-game ? I can't figure out why i cannot get this game to play as smooth as it should.

first of all this game is a cpu intensive game, second that processor and gpu are midrange I believe and should get way more fps than you are getting. Is your ram bottlenecking your system?

Are you using linux?
After the Unreal Engine update I have **** issue the game is power capping the GPU use after 3 matches, restarting the game fix it, but it is a pain

"brand new" as in out of the box lol. I have 32gigs of ram

i am not using linux. no amount of game restarts or pc restarts has fixed this yet.

the game is completely unplayable like this. and unfortunately it is the only game ive wanted to play for the last 2 months.

I often have the orange or red network icon displayed at the bottom right of each game. This does not come from my fiber connection which is very good. I have an RTX 4090 - Ryzen 7800X3D and 32GB DDR5, all the drivers are up to date and I am on Windows 11 64bits 24H2 up to date too !

3060ti gddr6x + ryzen 9 7900x + ddr5 32gb on 6600 Mhz - i feel stutters in new season (and havent them in previous)
edit - red network icon is a thing too

This is really bad

I can feel it

same, both AMD happens constantly.

The game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass there is nothing to do until they fix it

This game is CPU heavy.

I know the optimization is bad but i get more frames than you despite having technically a inferior hardware, check your configs, something is up

here are my specs

CPU: i3-10105F
GPU: RX 570 8GB
RAM: 16GB

I get around 70 - 100 frames last time i checked but i have a mix of low - medium settings and TAA on 85

I am also running 5600x but i have 0 stutters (except when you spawn after show off) my game runs fine 150-185 fps. Frame drops do happen when multiple teams fight and destruction going on, but towards playable amount (90+). They will happen even on 9800x3d,its unavoidable because hows the game engine and hardware works.

My general advice to people is:
1 use two sticks of high speed ram (atleast 3600 cl16) .
2 tweak your bios - enable cppc,disable all the useless stuff like nx mode, virtualization etc.
3 tweak your windows. amd chips are very sensitive to things like power plans and system processes (IO still not optimised). There is even a bug with storage controller which can cause stutters.

Feel free to contact me if you need help.

i play to much and it stuttering, i need to reset graphics to default and then set to max again, anyone same as me ?

The problem is Unreal Engine 5,

1. More Advanced Technologies in UE5
• Nanite and Lumen: These new technologies in UE5 enable massive geometric detail and advanced dynamic lighting, but they significantly increase hardware requirements. This can cause micro-stutters (stuttering) on ​​configurations that can’t maintain a constant stream of data and computation.
• Memory Management: UE5 is designed to take advantage of systems with fast NVMe SSDs, but on older or less capable configurations, asset load times can cause stuttering.

2. Shader Compilation Issues
• This issue existed in UE4, but it seems to be exacerbated in UE5. On first run, the engine often compiles shaders in the background, which can cause temporary stutters. In UE5, due to the accumulated complexity of visuals, the compilation process is more cumbersome.

3. Game Optimization
• UE5-based games are still relatively new, and developers are still learning how to optimize their projects with the engine. This sometimes results in less stable performance compared to UE4, which has benefited from years of improvements and better developer understanding.

4. CPU and GPU Stuttering
• UE5 puts more strain on the GPU, but it is also very demanding on the CPU to handle its complex processes. Older or poorly balanced configurations may experience more stuttering in UE5-based games.
