Massive Performance Issues Post-Update – Are You Seeing This Too?

[Fer1024]

After a couple of busy weeks, I finally sat down to play the new content, only to be met with a surprise: after spending 10 minutes loading shaders, the game runs horribly. I used to play everything on high settings at 1440p with 90 to 140 FPS, but now there’s a massive FPS drop — sometimes down to 1 FPS — and the game even crashes automatically.

I’m running a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, an RX 7900 XTX, and 32GB of RAM. I don’t use any mods.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

You have to manually clear the shader cache from before the update.

[GWSilvertail]

If you're using NVME, then shader caching with that setup shouldnt take more then 5 min so smt goin wrong there.

You dont happen to have mods or reshade etc?

I am trying that. I just clear the shader cache from the game files and from AMD Adrenaline software. Hope this can fix the issue.

If you still have problems, please reply again to the thread. There are users who can assist you if you have further issues.

I use NVMe and as you say when compiling shaders it takes about 5 minutes, sometimes it feels longer. On the other hand, I don't use mods.

For you to properly recompile shaders after an update you have to delete the shader.cache file in the games root directly. If you dont get a long recompile at this point upon booting the game then you'll have to do the force recompile method vie amd adrenalin in the global graphics settings. "reset shader cache" is found at the bottom and click it will reset shaders for all games. expect a proper recompile to be 10 to 15 minutes on that hardware.

I found what was causing the fps drop. I was changing the graphic settings one by one and I was surprised to find that disabling the high resolution texture pack fixed the problem.

Thanks for your comments!

How much video RAM?

I have the same GPU as you and the performance increased thanks to the latest update:

https://youtu.be/piaueuIWi5o

The latest patch introduced performence increase in FPS and CPU utilisation. The direct test-results can be seen here:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3490992567

1.010 Average FPS
Windward Plains: 65
Scarlet Forest: 70
Oilwell Basin: 67

1.011 Average FPS
Windward Plains: 72
Scarlet Forest: 78
Oilwell Basin: 71

The System:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X
Motherboard: Asus Prime X670E Pro Wifi – BV:3222
RAM: Corsair Vengence (4 x 16GB) 64GB @ CL34 6000MT/s MCLK = UCLK
GPU: AMD Sapphire RX7900XTX Nitro+
NVMe: WD Black SN850X
OS: Windows 11 Pro 64bit 24H2
Resolution: 3 x 1080P

As others have already suggested, have you manualy deleted the "Shaders.cache" file in your games directory and let it rerender it?

Also a new BIOS update has been rolled out together with a new Adrenalin driver (25.6.1) and Chipset driver. Did you try update everything? It improved a lot of things again.

If he has the RX7900XTX like i do, he has massive 24GB.

So unlike the guy who uses settings despite they are below minimum requirements. Would be interesting to figure out what suddenly causes the issue and whether a driver rollback will help.

Issues can also happen if the Motherboards BIOS is not insync/compatible to the OS chipset driver and even Adrenalin Version when SAM is enabled.

Thats why i asked when he did update all of that the last time.

Do you two actually pay attention to what has been said? OP has already resolved the issue.
High texture pack is "very negative". Like it should be. Slop quality = red score.

Please consider the actual context of what we have added. The issue he had was not recreated at everyones end. Therefore indentications where given on what the issue may also be related to.

Also no idea what score you are talking about. I can not find any realtion to this threads topic.
