FPS problems with great hardware

[Shooting Shark]

I recently got back into AW after years of not playing, only to find out that the game is unplayable on my setup. Back when i started it i had an i5-4570 with a GTX 760 and had stable 40-60 fps everywhere. Now i upgraded to a Ryzen 7 3700x and an RX 5700 XT and the game runs at 35 fps(with some 70 fps spikes) and the graphics are not even at maximum(high). I have tried fiddling with the settings but nothing seems to work. My specs are way above the recommended.
Anyone else with the same problem or some suggestions for fixing this issue?

Update : With some changes in the adrenalin software i managed to get somewhat better fps in battle ( 70 - 120 fps) but they are not stable at all. In the garage it goes from 45 to 100 fps depending on where u look(weird).

Its not your hardware, its the game. ive been playing a lot recently but the lag at times is stupid considering they were supposed to have fixed it.

Meaanwhile, I'm running 60fps maxed on a 3700x and 2060s, with no framerate dips or other issues (aside from the usual 'servers are inconsistent' one). Could be a 'just AMD GPU things' problem rearing it's ugly head again.

[Shooting Shark]

Unfortunately i think you are right JtDarth...
It has to be the AMD GPU curse, i just hoped that these things were supposed to be extinct now
Well Ampere and Big Navi are just around the corner now

Try in the "Settings" : Vertical Sync = off , maybe ...

[Shooting Shark]

Its one of the first things i tried...i too hoped it would help but alas

[Wulfthofen Gaming]

if your getting lag when playing downgrade your video settings to like medium worked for me

[Shooting Shark]

Heh if we are forced to play medium settings with a 400$ GPU on a 10 year old game then something is definitely going very wrong

Recently I've got similar FPS drops in-game. Mostly with a lots of particles flying around including snow on winter maps. Thought it might be related toward a driver, but I'm also running the same AW game with the Wishlist Game launcher outside of Steam without any of the mentioned stuttering. So it has to be related toward Steam.

Running on Garuda Arch Linux (Ryzen 7 5800X, RX 6800 XT, 3440x1440 144hz monitor) , but never encountered that issue until a couple of weeks before after one patch.
Tried different Proton variants, including Glorious Eggroll...9-16 actually, no difference.
Also dimming down several graphic settings didn't bring change.

It's like something is filling up until breaking point and than the stuttering starts. Re-starting the game helps...also for a given time, until it fires in again. Mostly winter maps or bigger maps.

You'd have been better off starting a new topic on this honestly, but I'm on Nvidia hardware (and windows) ATM and getting some odd performance issues that weren't there prior to the switch away from mycom launcher to wishlist games one, and I'm running the standalone because they STILL don't have the ability to carry over my account onto the steam version, as far as I know.

3070 and 5800x, noticed a lot of frame dips when looking through semi-transparent foliage, and maps with weather effects have a LOT higher util on both CPU and GPU than seems reasonable for that being the only big change from the non-weather ones. Heavy rain, sandstorm, snow, doesn't matter. They all do it, and it has issues when looking down zoom reticle, which gets compounded with the performance drop from how they are handling foliage transparency.

Runs at a locked 60fps EXCEPT for looking down zoom reticle with heavy weather effects or nearby foliage. There I see stutter and dips as low as 30fps.

I also seem to have horrible issues with their servers, that only show up trying to connect to Wishlist's servers. Not sure if bad node somewhere along route, or just their servers, but it only shows up during this game, and it's latency spikes that imply packet loss spikes. These packet loss spikes do not show up in other games, nor in general web browsing, even when doing cloudflare's network quality test.

Yeah, thought about, but this thread was the only one related to, so I thought probably someone may have subscribed to it.
As for carrying over the usual account to Steam...that won't happen, as they outlined in their FAQ. I guess they have to pay a fee to Steam on every buy. But, as I have heard from a friend, it is possible in general, as they are listening about a request the other way arround, changing over from Steam to WLG launcher instead.

Well, all i can say is, that all this doesn't happen with WLG launcher, so the man-in-the-middle is the Steam client. Possibly Steam's synchronisation is causing this issue or some adjustments with Proton/GE-Proton. Still working on it. Got better results with GE-Proton plus downgrading all pixel-related settings in the game for one degree.

Running 144Hz with arround 120 fps, somehow dropping to 80 fps, but the game is still running normal. Only issue is, that my eyes can see single video sequences followed by a small micro stuttering. That is causing motion sickness to me as the result.

Did you switch off seeding at the WLG setup but also at the Game's Steam settings? I was very astonished to see seeding allowed on both ends and some friends on WLG launcher told me that they got rid of some of the described issues by switching seeding off after downloading latest patch instantly.

There is no man in the middle for me. I do not use the steam version of the game, because my account well predates the game's launch on steam, and they never sorted things out to let me link my existing account to my steam one.

So, no, these issues aren't a result of steam being in the middle, as steam isn't involved on my system. Seeding was also immediately turned off because I'm unfortunate enough to have to worry about data caps on my landline internet. Yet these issues popped up after the switch to WLG, and I'm on windows at the moment, so it isn't proton doing proton things. Also currently nvidia hardware, so it's not an AMD thing. Basically, I'm saying the recent patches since handover to WLG seem to have broken something that was previously working, performance wise.

[Kepos]

Yeah, different angles, got that now. Thought you are playing on Steam. My bad.
Playing 2 accounts, one on Steam with spoken stuttering and one on WLG launcher, using Lutris as wrapper, without any of the performance issues.
