FPS drops and poor optimization.

[Vircyo]

Soo many people have FPS drop problems after the winter update.

Get your ♥♥♥♥ together devs, its going on 2 weeks+ now

Give us an answer at least, you want our money? Then fix your game so its playable enough for us to want to invest buying skins rather than getting uninstalled.

I'd rather play garbage OW at this point because at least it runs properly

I've not been able to play a single game since the winter update. My game stutters and it's like it has a massive memory leak. I have no clue what to do to fix it. I've googled it several times and tried all the fixes but nothing seems to work.

My GPU is at 10% usage and my CPU is at 100% I'm still trying to figure out why the game isn't forcing my GPU

I spent like 40 mins optimizing and tinkering my game and now the game runs flawlessly on my 8 year old machine at like 120 fps. Optimize your game and youll fix it.

Literally have not been able to play the game since I installed it. I've tried every single fix known to man or at least that has been posted online. Nothing, absolutely nothing. I cant go half a game without it crashing. The fact that theres thousands of people dealing with these crashes and there hasn't been a single announcement about it is mind boggling to me.

It's cause those thousands of people are expecting to use the system they've used for years to run the engine that is less than 2 years old. If your computer predates UE5, 100% your config is the issue. I had problems myself on my old rig so I picked up on Black Friday an Acer Predator Helios Neo 18. It has a 4060, i9 14th gen, 32gb RAM, m.2 SSD, and chief of all it runs Windows 11. Especially the windows 11 bit, you NEED DirectX 12 Ultimate for optimal performance. The current version of DLSS is optimized for 40 series cards too.

Plenty of people who haven't given up and have troubleshooted their own problems have solve them on these boards. The most common fixes I've seen have been upgrading to Windows 11, using an SSD, rolling back the latest NVIDIA drivers to the previous release, disabling some Steelseries software, lowering the polling rate of an 8k mouse to 4k or lower, disabling Lumen, turning graphics down and killing DLSS, and changing server in game -- literally, some servers just seem to perform better.

I disabled graphics card scheduling, control flow guard on both launcher.exe and the game exe itself, I think it helped the stutters immensely. I read lowering mouse polling rate from 8k also helps. I myself have a pretty lousy 10400f and gtx 1070, so I hope this helps you.
