serious lag issue please help

[Gourami37]

my computer is less then a year old i can run resident evil 2 bfv arma 3 so on so on on high settings but this game lags hardcore even in the character creation screen, im talking 15 seconds to swap from face 1 to face 2, is there a lag fix or something ? hoping its a known issue, im on windows 10. the combat also lags sometimes to the point im not sure its gonna crash or not, but most movement in the game is fine its more interactions when it needs to "load" something like dialog or what have you

really enjoyed the game except the lag i wanna fix it so i can play more!

Your best bet is to search Obsidian's official forum for potential workarounds. Also post your hardware details and graphics driver version here for people to have something to compare with.

Long story cut short: various performance issues with the game are known, and for a very long time, but not everyone is affected (I've never had such a 15 secs delay, for example, but at most a bit of slowdown in the heat of a big battle). The cause of it has not been found, and therefore no fix has been made available. Not every high-end gaming rig guarantees perfect performance with PoE. It's likely related to Unity engine and how the game uses the engine to do tons of 2D animations/effects. The character creation screen is known to make fans spin up because of causing massive CPU/GPU load, although only a single 3D model is rendered.

sorry at the time i wasn't able to look it all up this is a newer computer only a few months old
for a game like this it shouldn't be performing as it is my pc can for sure run this ill have to look into drivers and see if that helps and report back later but everything should be up to date, id imagine heavier games that i play would be affected first but this is like unplayable right now

iv updated my drivers and it shaved a couple seconds off but its still lagging incredibly slow load times for character creation 10+ seconds still at the moment between a face or race swap

Enable XMP in your bios? If it slow it due to the low end GTX 1050 Ti it not even better then the GTX 1060. Try Med or custom setting it should help.
