Those that are experiencing performance issues and crashing

[Cryemore]

EDIT: As we suspected after discussing it in this thread, Win11 version 24H2 seems to be what is causing all the issues.

24H2 is known to cause issues with many games. To check which version of windows you are using, press the windows key+R, type winver in the command line and press enter.

The process for reverting back to 23H2 is beyond the scope of this post and can be found through other sources easily enough if you do not know how.

OP:
If you are experiencing performance issues and crashes and come here for help yet fail to list your hardware specs how is anyone supposed to help you? Are we supposed to divine your operating environment?

I have had zero performance issues or crashes.

Win11 (23H2)
i9 11900k
RTX3080ti
32gb ram
samsung 840evo

If you do not know your hardware specifications for whatever reason, type dxdiag in the search bar and execute. If these crashes and performance issues can be narrowed down to certain operating environments the community may actually be able to help you.

Edit: With the game running my resource manager is showing the following:

Freedom Wars Process:
CPU utilization: 23%
Memory: 591MB

System Wide:
GPU Utilization: 30 - 50%
GPU Memory: 3.1GB
CPU Utilization: 23 - 30%
Memory: 8.6GB

All of my other games are fine but I have experienced 3 crashes and a black screen that won't progress any further than the cut scene. Frame stuttering too. I don't want to review bomb this game yet. I will explore more threads on similar issues for a solution.

Loved this game 10 years ago and 800 hours invested into it. I sort of want to repeat that again on PC.

Really just frame stutter, but it's pretty noticeable and frequent
Tried various in-game settings, PC restart, Overlays off
If anyone has any fixes, lmk thanks

Ahh the early days of a bandai port. Wait 8 months then buy hopefully they will use the OG localization then. i dont need all the " how about you cool cats" dialogue updates.

Seems to be locked at 30 fps almost, the stutters make it unplayable. ZERO issues on my steam deck though.

game issue no point listing spec

i just get light frame drops but i think the problem is this game uses 0% of my gpu and only 10% of my cpu

So far the hardware data listed here is fairly diverse, some of which is superior to my own, yet I have not experienced a single issue while everyone that has posted here supposedly has.

The only thing I've experienced that could even remotely be considered an issue was a frame drop when my sinner pulled Julien from the abductor. Other than that I haven't even had a stutter, let alone a crash.

Everyone that has bothered with listing their operating system is using win11, so the problem is not with win11.

Every Nvidia card listed is a 3000 series or above. I can only assume and hope that everyone is running up to date drivers.

We have people running both intel and amd.

Why are all of these people have issues while my experience has been as near to flawless as possible?

Is everyone here running an antivirus/malware software other than what is included in win11? Mine is stock windows solution. Same with firewall, etc.

I am running openshell and explorerpatcher, so my windows environment isn't exactly standard but it wouldn't effect any games.

the original Japanese dub is still available, but they put the menu in your bedroom instead of somewhere you can access before starting the game.

it's a bit silly, but that is where the original game put most of the useful options including control settings and accessibility features.

Wonder if this is a 24H2 windows update issue. I'm on 24H2 with basically a brand new rig that I built last month.

I tried disabling my anti-virus and run the game and I'm still getting the stutters. There has been a lot of issues with 24H2 update that windows pushed out, so I'm probably guessing that's the major culprit.

You could be on to something, as I am running 23H2. Maybe we can get a few others to chime in.

For those that don't know how to check their windows version, press and hold your windows key and press R. In the following dialog type winver and press enter. This will open a window displaying your version information.

For reference I am running version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.4602)

Win11 23H2
R9 5900X
RTX 4070 TI
32GB 3600MHz RAM
Samsung 970 SSD

I can see it stuttering constantly while in my room, and everytime it stutters, Nvidia overlay drops from 60 to 57, then back to 60 for about 5-10 seconds. It's very weird.

Is this happening while your character is just idle in their cell?
