Unstable FPS and stuttering

[kondorasGR]

The fps are going crazy between 120-70 and game is unplayable,ive changed servers (EU) nothing changed,anyone else from EU having this issue and any possible fix? my system i7 4790k 4.7ghz ,rx6600 8gb and 16 gb of ram

if 70-120 are your fps fluctuations then a target fps of 60 vsynced might be the solution for consistently smooth framepacing

well when i limit my fps to 60 the fluctuations are 48-60 its more playable but still not ideal,i know my cpu is old but i never had problems in the past...could the network affect the fps fluctuations?

hmm quite strange the fps becomes even lower. i guess it can help to monitor your latency (F1) when these issues happen, and try a different server/gateway.

also in my case i had some stuttery framerate due to Windows full screen optimization but only in windowed fullscreen mode, but i dont suppose thats your issue as well.

at the start of the league i was playing fine in 4k resolution but had to drop it down to 1440p at some point due to having too many light effects on screen that would skyrocket my gpu usage from 70% to 100% while dropping fps to 40. in 1440p its fine so far though

im having same issue cant even play hardcore cause of the frame stutters the should fix their fking servers or whatever these are so obvious but they ignore it since as usual money before everything. Pathetic

[Franxx]

same for me today is unplayble for me cpu and gpu ms going up and down crazy it wasnt like that before today idk what to do

[kondorasGR]

Actually i fixed my issues,i switched to Vulkan and disabled Engine Multithreading support, framerate/frametime is fine now.
I will test with dx12 and see how is it,so anyone with same issues should try disabling the Engine Multithreading and see if this helps!

ah sounds like a shadercache building issue then maybe. i know vulkan and DX12 handle that better than dx11 where one would experience microstutters on every first time experiencing a new gfx effect/object

Try disabling engine multithreading in your game settings; that helped for me.

Switching to vulkan helped a bit for me.

in my case , switching to Vulkan and disabling engine multithreading fixed my issues,i guess hyper threading caused this for my intel cpu,you can try it

It crashes for me after laging like hell. Disabeling multthred and switching to vulkan dident help.

Yes. So there aren't many options. I also downgraded the driver because there is information that it is more stable. but no...........
poe1 is now in buggy alpha status.
