DLSS FPS Drop Workaround

[jasonBethesda]

UPDATE 12/12/24: The dev team is working to deploy a fix for this issue next week. Thank you for your patience!

--

If you're encountering an FPS drop when playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle with DLSS enabled, please try the following steps:

• Select Graphics Options.
  
• Switch from DLSS to TAA.
  
• Switch back to DLSS.
  
• Exit the menu. FPS will return to normal shortly after.

This fix doesn't work for the Game Pass version of the game still getting FPS drops when moving around for split seconds at a time with DLSS on.

yes, the devs of course are helping their customers but its not the game which cause this issues but their systems. developers just impement those workarounds in their games for systems who are damaged and need to be handlet with exceptional extra code for rare cases. thsi wouldnt be the case if they would maintain their systems properly, otherwise EVERYONE would have the same problems. every single player would have the same problem if it would be the game because everyone has the same game writen in the same code with the same content.
"Not too smart are you?"

And you think that you're smart?
If the people had never had issues this kind of issue in their other games when using DLSS,that means that their system works correctly.
If the devs have to implement things in their game because people have this issue ONLY in this game,that means that THEY didn't do things correctly and have to FIX the game.
If your cognition abilities are too limited to understand that then nobody can help you.

it seems you dont know how coding works... it cant magically change from system to system. its the same for everyone. the devs dont have to fix your issues but they do because its cheaper and faster than do the maintaining services for some people with maybe bad hardware compatibility or something else. even heavy fragmented hdd's could cause such issues and it even didnt need to be the drive where the game is installed. can also hapened on the system drive!
there are tons of possibile issues with a specific game caused by bad maintenance or cheap and/or incompatible hardware, interfearing software, drive failures, transmission errors, damaged files, etc... but there is only ONE possibility it could be caused by the game... a bug and then everyone would have the same bug because then and only then it would be caused by the games code and because of the fact everyone has the same code, everyone would have the same issue. but the game is working like a charm. better than nearly any other game except for doom eternal so if the code is working but only a few ppl has some issues, than its their system and not the code... its like we refueling two identical cars at the same gas station with the same fuel but suddenly your car is overheating but mine still works flawless, what do you think could have caused it? a productionfailure of the engine? no, you just didnt maintain your car well and havent refilled the oil so it was overheating... you dont even need to be smart to understand this fact

Game works fine for me. Stalker 2 as well. Not a single crash. Yall need to stop downloading ♥♥♥♥ and fix your broken ass computers.

I had stutters because I set R_LODSCALE 5, set it back to 1 and now works just fine with full path tracing on a 4070 Ti Super, around 110fps (FG)

[Nomad]

To eliminate the weird stutter / dips I had to turn off Frame Gen.
I didnt mess with HDR (left it on)
I did lower a few texture/shadow settings to squeeze out additional Frames
Left on full RT

9800x3D, RTX 4080 running at around 60-75 FPS with no FG, and DLSS Performance in 4K

Not ideal, would rather FG worked so I can max out settings, but its playable for now.

in gamepass is broken drop the fps every 4 seconds

[Talemann]

who cares about dlss. dlaa is the only relevant option. if you need to use dlss it means 1. your hardware sucks or 2. developer did not bother optimizing or 3. both. same game back in the day was polished and there was no need for voodoo upscaling.

Happens with the Steam version for me. Only with Frame Generation. DLSS Upscaling is fine.

If u go in System>Display>Graphics in Windows and select High Performance as option for Indiana Jones game it should fix that

[Midnight Fawn]

Do we have the right to ask why we should have to deal with this in the first place. It's frustrating when AAA games ship with technical issues that require players to jump through hoops to fix.
A DLSS FPS drop is a noticeable problem, and workarounds like this, while helpful in the short term, aren't a substitute for proper optimization and bug fixes from developers. Hopefully, you will release a patch soon to address this so us players can enjoy the game as intended without fiddling with settings mid-session.

Where is this config file ? I saw a mention of "R_LODSCALE 5" mentioned on the Digital Foundry Tech Review, I assume that is in this config file too?

It's in "%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\MachineGames\TheGreatCircle\base\", for LODSCALE, open the game console by pressing the tilde ~ key and type these values

You can change the size of the pool in the graphics section. Actually being able to set the pool size to your hardware is an advantage over a one size fits all solution.

If this setting is set too high and lacks VRAM, the game may even fail to start, and manually tweaking it via the game’s configuration file gives you more room for adjustment depending on your graphics card's VRAM, the Steam version of the game also forces HQ texture pack regardless of the texture pool size used, they should give a option to choose use it or not like the Xbox Game Pass version does.

Posting this in a few threads for those of you getting the weird stutters while using Frame Gen. This fixed it for me. Credit goes to "Johnnius":

You want this:

Also this:
https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-3-frame-generation-dll/

Replaced NVidia DLSS and FG DLL file to version 3.8.1 that was released on 12/7/24
- Moved settings to "Very Ultra" or whatever
- Turned on FG
- FPS dropped to 2FPS (!!!)
- Did the "TAA / DLSS" toggle and now its in the mid 70's FPS range at the start of the level in Antonio's office

My specs:
Very Ultra
4K DLSS PERF
4080 RTX
9800x3D

I'm on Game Pass version here, 4090, 64GB RAM, I7 13700, Frame Gen stutters like crazy, even with vsync off, reflex off, etc. Also, Game Pass version is missing "Exclusive Fullscreen" mode. Only seeing Windowed and Windowed Borderless.

Mind you, I'm still getting like 80-90fps using cinematic widescreen 21:9 at DLSS Quality with NO FG, Full RT, Supreme Settings. Game is optimized really well.

Every time I walk through a door, the fps completely collapses. Worked fine at the start of the game, the second I got to the Vatican this happens. every. time. when it works my game is running on about 70fps with a 3090 graphics card but when I go through a door it goes to 1fps and I have to wait about a couple of minutes for it to work.
