Random lag spikes/fps drop?

[Candyman]

No matter how low or high my settings are (it runs smoothly either way) i get frequent fps drops. Like, it stutters every 15 or so seconds in game for a second or so. Nothing game breaking, but very annoying. Anyone else experiencing this? My computer meets all the spec reqs.

I have found the same lag issues as well. I'm running it on Medium Settings with my rig being a gtx 770, i7 (4770) 3.2ghz and SSD.

However, I found changing graphics settings while the game is loaded does not seem to impact performance, but quitting the game, re-starting the game and then changing the graphics before loading does affect performance.

Not sure if this is a true solution, but it's worth checking out.

Bummer, I'm also reciving the studdering.. I'm running a beefy system SSD Drive, i7 6700k 32 gig ram, with SLI 980TIs and it's pretty bad. Hope a fix is out soon, makes it hard to play like this.

It's happening to me as well. i5-6500, 16gb ram, and a r9 390 graphics card. Installed to an SSD as well. Getting random stuttering no matter what I have my graphics set to. Please fix soon! Oh god I want to play this :(

Does anyone feel that the mouse movement lags more than just walking?

i have the same problem, thats why i got a refund until this is fixed. please guys fix it soon cause i wanna play it. but it was unplayable for me. i read somewhere that this might be a memory leak, which is probably true judging by how my desktop spazzed out after trying to close the game.

Gtx 1070. Same here everthing at epic at 1440p and getting 60 to 120 ( but smetimes the fluctuation is too high and drops to 40, at low or 1080p it's awfully lagging and getting low 40, changing graphics doesn't impact that much of performance, intriguing fact gpu usage is at 40p, What !!!???. I found that trying to refresh the setting and getting out of game and re-entering solve sometimes. Hmmm crashed after a photo (at least pc didn't need a reboot ).

Hi there,

I have noticed that my game runs fine but FPS drops... From my machine it seems like ntoskrnl.exe is getting out of control when the game is running (the RAM increase constantly then drops when the game stops). Could you take a look at that ?

Performance has been pretty terrible for me... FX-4300, 8GB RAM, GeForce 960, and a plain old HDD. I found an older post by one of the devs saying that the game does a lot of work on storage, resulting in hitching... which probably explains the gigantic ~2 second lock every time I use the picture function (which I keep accidentally hitting while trying to jump.)

I'm hoping some fixes arrive in the next week or so to address the performance issues because the game is barely playable right now - it bounces all over the place from 60 to 30 to 20 to 40 to 60 to 30 to 20 again, regardless of settings. I can set everything to epic and while I won't see 60's anymore, the framerate is no more or less stable than it is at minimum settings.

I really hope they can address it. I really don't want to have to refund this game.

I know this is an old thread - maybe there's a new one, but I am having the same problem. Laptop with NVIDIA GTX 1060 with HDD.
