Game is unplayable

[Mango]

Hello, I am playing with rtx 3090, almost all the games are running smoothly, but this game... it feels like I am playing with 1990 released PC. I don't know what can cause problem, I am using rtx 3090 and it doesn't matter if I lower graphics settings or not. Maybe it's not only me

[SirMisterDredge]

What's the issue? Random FPS drops?

[Mango]

Yes, fps drops, stuttering, I can't even walk. I had to leave last match, because when I met with survivor, I was looking at picture, not frames.

weird i have gtx 1050 and i have solid 60fps have yoiu updated you drivers?

The last update was rolled out pretty trashy. I found it all but unplayable till I gave it a clean install. I cleaned out all of my pending updates and messages and did a clean install of my nvidia driver and the game file before a reboot. It seems to run better now. I'm not seeing much of a resource change but my card reads hotter now on my FTW 3070.

The hair change was stupid and now everyone looks like they have half rendered hair. Looks like I have to hunt down one more setting.

[Mango]

Yes, I have lastest drivers

the hair looks weird if you have taa antialiasing turned off. but in my opinion the game becomes more clear with taa turned off, so i just leave it off. a shame that dead by daylight needs every form of sharpness filter and anti aliasing just for the game to look slighly less ugly but in turn makes it way more blurry.

So did I. I did a clean reinstall of both the drivers and game and it seemed to help. They also changed from Unreal 4 to Unreal 5 and most players have been calling the game a mess.

Sounds about right I saw their top of the line render a few years back and 90% of the resources were being put into blurring the world. I think one was a film grain filter even.

I also have those issues. It's weird 'cause on my gtx 1650 the game runs perfectly without any lag spikes, fps drops etc.

[Do Gens, Not Drugs]

I'm getting this too, and it's driving me crazy. My issues don't sound as bad as yours, but my game will keep stuttering throughout my matches. It's not game-breaking, but it's very annoying, especially when it happens during chases.

[Drunk_AF]

Hey man, i thought it was the game too, it is NVIDIA latest driver, try re-installing it, and it fixed the issue for me.

[Jevins]

I have a AMD RX 6600, and my game stutters while I play. I have messed around with the file settings and AMD drivers, reinstalled the game and still have stuttering. It's not super bad, but makes the game harder to play, like if it stutters during a skill check or a chase. It even stutters when I'm in the game menu LOL. I don't see how this stuttering or overall bad performance is still a issue for a lot of people and not fixed by the devs. I can run other games like BG3 just fine on medium to high settings.

[Mango]

Okay, I've found problem, when I restart PC, problem is being solved, if I play it too much, I've to restart again, I think problem is cache related

Download and install MSI Afterburner, then monitor these metrics:

GPU: usage, memory, temp, core clock, and power
CPU: usage, temp, clock, and power
RAM: usage
FPS: framerate (Avg, 1% low, and 0.1% (you can ignore this))

Also tell me the rest of your rig's specs, if you want.

I run this game at 1440p120 with an RTX 3060 ti paired with an Intel i7 13700K and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM @5600 MHz

Some complain a lot about this game not being optimized, but here are my results:

Average FPS: 119
1% low: 70+ (sometimes 60+)
0.1% low: 5+

These are not bad results for a non-fps multiplayer online game in terms of optimization. Setting 0.1% aside, the 1% low could have been better, but still not bad by any means and I don't feel too much stuttering while playing like you said - at least, recently!
