Lagging after update

[MissBlueRoses]

I'm having trouble after the new update - either yours or microsoft update. The game is lagging after each 10 seconds - maybe a sync issue.

Hi! Most of the times we've noticed someone is having its game suffer of frequent stutter, it's caused by Windows detecting audio devices connecting/disconnecting while playing.

This can be confirmed by checking the log file (settings->support->browse log file) and looking for "Audio settings changed" lines on it, or something like that.

This is an issue with the engine we've reported to Unity, but they haven't fixed it yet.

Until then, the best way to avoid this from happening is to make sure you don't have frequent audio device changes. In an usual setup there shouldn't be any, but in some cases there may be faulty cables, shaky bluetooth devices, etc, that may be connecting and disconnecting all the time.

That is not the issue. It lags every 5 seconds and the charakter in the game can not run either when I hold shift down as im used to do. She is really slow and the screen ''jumps'' every 5 seconds.

Ok, then please post the log file so we can take a look.

How do I do that?

Is it like this? Or how do I do it?

[WaaghMan]

Thank you, this is enough.

I don't see anything out of the ordinary in the log, although it's a rather short session (2-3 minutes of playtime). If you're experiencing freezes while playing, I'd check a couple of things:

1- Try decreasing resolution or render scale (the log doesn't tell the framerate you're getting). It's probably not the issue, but to rule things out.
2- Open the windows task manager, check the performance tab, and check for CPU usage spikes while playing (you should be able to see both the game and the task manager if you play in windowed mode). Check which application is getting the usage spikes when you get those lags you mention.

Hello,

Please open a new thread for this, and post the log file so we can take a look.

It helped deactivating the V-Sync.

[WaaghMan]

Mmm, if disabling vsync helped, it might be that the GPU isn't managing to keep a steady framerate, so lowering overall quality settings or resolution/render scale could help.

We don't have a 4060 so I can't tell for sure, but it may not be fast enough to render everything on almost maximum settings at 144Hz on 1440p.

To see the frame rate you are getting there is a screen display option that you can turn on under the Steam settings menu, and then you will always know what fps you are cranking for any game that you play. Now that you have disabled vsync you can go into the advanced game settings and cap a fps rate that won't be causing your system to struggle to put out the max frame rate.

I had the same, check your processes, windows was updating in my case.
