Low FPS when turning or looking around?

[Lenk]

I was able to play perfectly at 60 fps on ultra quality and 100% resolution before 3.6.1 patch, but now I can play at 60 fps just at the beginning of the match, after 1 or 2 minutes playing my fps go down, but only when I'm turning or moving the camera to look around, but fps keeps stable if I just run forward. It means that persecutions become so hard cuz when I'm turning right or left my fps drops around 15, but if I run without moving the camera my fps keeps normal. It happens to me intermittently, I can play 1 or 2 minutes perfectly but then I can't play correctly because fps drops when I move the camera to make a turn. I've already tried verifying integrity of game files, updating GPU drivers and windows to latest version, even scanning with antivirus and nothing worked. I've also tried playing on low graphics but there's no difference, the problem persists the same way.

Acer Predator Helios 300 CPU-i7-8750H GPU-GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 RAM-8GB Display-FHD 144Hz HDD-1TB OS-W10.

vsync on or off?

[MattIvory]

this is from another steam discussion (and originally from a dbd dev posted in the official forum)
to increase your FPS:

Go to your windows search bar and type in %appdata%
You should get a folder called roaming.
Go back into the appdata folder and click the local folder instead.
Now click the Dead by Daylight folder.
Go to Saved, Config, WindowsNoEditor. It should look something like this:
AppData\Local\DeadByDaylight\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
[this is also where u turn Vsync on/off - i recommend off]
Now open up "GameUserSettings".
Go to the bottom where it says "FrameRateLimit=x.000000". It should be zero.
I changed it to around 200 and my FPS when up like crazy.

its recommendet by a mod so dont worry, you wont get banned.

if this doesnt help:
put resolution to 60-70% and the game on low ofc. also check your resolution in the usersettings

[Lenk]

I think it's off, cuz I set quality to low and I reached 130fps (I made the test in the tutorial), but assuming v-sync is on, where can I turn it off?

[MattIvory]

additionally you can add this text:

[/script/engine.engine]
MinDesiredFrameRate=22.000000
SmoothedFrameRateRange=(LowerBound=
(Type=ERangeBoundTypes::Inclusive
(Type=ERangeBoundTypes::Exclusive

[WindowsApplication.Accessibility]
StickyKeysHotkey=True
ToggleKeysHotkey=True
FilterKeysHotkey=True
StickyKeysConfirmation=True
ToggleKeysConfirmation=True
FilterKeysConfirmation=True


to the "Engine-File" unless its not already there. you can find that file above the gameusersettings in the same folder

in the GameUserSettings
once opened Press Ctrl + F that opens a search bar: Type in "sync" without the quoutes, hit enter and u will be right on the spot of vsync options. set "true" to "false" and done

or just scroll through the text in the gameusersettings :D whatever is easier for you ^^

Thanks for the help, I just tried all you told me to do and effectively, now I have higher fps (around 80) but the problem remains the same, If I move the camera fps still drops around 10. V-sync is already off

[MattIvory]

then idk. i would really recomment contacting either the dbd support or even better to usw the official forum, the mods and devs are really activ there!

I appreciate the help, I'll try contacting support. At least now I have higher fps at times when the game runs correctly :D

if you weren't having this problem before maybe roll your graphic driver back see if that helps.

I've already done it but it didn't work, I also tried installing the game again and it didn't work either :(

[EasilyShot]

have you tried just lowering the setting while in game quality wise i mean,I usually run the game on ultra but i have to lower the settings to play the game some of the map reworks give me problems from time to time, for me though it usually ♥♥♥♥♥♥ net connection (i blame coronavirus) or something that happened from a certain patch might get fixed in the next patch - make sure you bug report it.

[Fabio]

Very unlikely to be the case but are you maybe playing with both controller and mouse (controller in your left hand, right hand on the mouse for camera control)? because the game can't handle simultaneous inputs from the two.

It also gives random controller prompts even when you're not touching it but that doesn't affect performance as far as i'm concerned.

I'd try to unplug your controller if i were you (that is assuming you have one at all).

Yes, I tried lowering settings, even reducing the resolution to 0% and it didn't work, fps drops happens the same way if I played in ultra, makes no difference
