Dropping to single digits FPS

[madman19979]

Did the game get an update or something? It was running smooth as butter for the last 3 days, and now all of a sudden I'm looking at a slideshow. Used to go up to 100 fps, now the highest it goes is about 60 with drops to 10 and freezing for like 5 full seconds at a time. Happening to anyone else? I'm on AMD CPU and GPU.

The same problem, I don't know why it happens, but something that causes lags was obviously added or changed during recent updates, because one or two weeks ago I didn't have such drops and the fps was stable.

Same. I have NVIDIA GPU and Intel CPU, so I don't think it's related to brand. It got worse after the winter patch, but was still playable, but today all of a sudden it's really bad. some maps are much worse than others, and it's worse during team fights. I've lowered all my settings but my fps is still dropping terribly.

I also lost around 30 frames these days, Unreal Engine for you

Start by going to Users/your user name/appdata/local/Marvel/Saved/Config/Windows
Open the .ini file there and put this at the bottom.

[/script/windowstargetplatform.windowstargetsettings]
DefaultGraphicsRHI=DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX12

Save it. Set the file to read only. Enjoy.

I have the same issue. when I load the game it drops to 1FPS. If I Alt tab and drag another window around or type in a browser, BAM 60 FPS on the game. But as soon as it is the active window it drops to 1

Same. Game runs like poop for the last few days and i dont know why. I even install mod with potato graphics from nexus and its not helping.

disable the fps counter overlay thing in the game, fixed it for me (show fps disabled)

same problem, I have some sort of memory leak which is causing stutters. Is using 8GB ram, before it was 5-6

Thanks. This seems to have done the trick.

Forces the game to use DirectX12

Nothing. It made no change to performance for me.

I think disabling steam overlay in game fixed it for me

will try that out

Didnt they disable ini file edits anyway? You might be experiencing placebo.
What doubled my fps was lowering my rez to 1080p and turning on TAAU anti-aliasing/res type and setting render scale to as low as possible (50).
I was aiming to get thick borders like you can get in Overwatch, this is the thickest I could get them and the game still looks good graphically (somehow, would look like trash this low in Overwatch)
