FPS drops to 20, normally 60-80

[HEY KID IMA COMPUTA]

I just bought this game and did a fresh install on my computer:
I7 6700k
8GB ram
R9 390x

When going thru snow that has fog or mist, the FPS drops very dramatically, especially when going fast. It makes the game very unplayable. I was getting about 60+ FPS in high settings, and about 70-80 on medium settings but when I am in an area with fog/mist coming off the snow my FPS tanks down to 20, sometimes even more.

Is there a way to disable the fog or reduce fog quality so I can actually play this game? As it currently is the game is nearly unplayable.

Mmmm. Nice.

I updated my AMD drivers, no difference. I have minimal background apps running so I didn’t do that step especially since no other game behaves this poorly. My windows is up to date. Game is set to launch in Admin mode.

I installed the provided DLLs in the support folder of the game, DX apis and the C++ runtime and whatever else was in there besides UPlay, following exactly the instructions on your link and... reallllll nice.

After the windows boot animation, I only see a black screen. Now I have an even bigger problem to deal with...

[HEY KID IMA COMPUTA]

Alright... found some laptop guide that said to remove the battery so I yanked to power cord on my PC instead. Same thing right? Restarting did nothing anyways, and I couldn't figure out how to reboot into safemode since my windows account auto logs in and there is no log-in screen, or it was black.

Anyways... the updated DLLs did not help. In fact I think they made things slightly worse. The dips are lower then before when I run the benchmark.

Here is a google drive with the benchmark results. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/170lvmnQalbt350DqhKGxmbX-kvhdeZfF?usp=sharing

NoSSBC-High.html is the High graphic setting preset without SSBC AO.
SSBC-High.html is High graphic settings with SSBC turned on
NoSSBC-High-PostUpdate.html is after installind DX?? and the C++ runtimes provided in the support folder of the game.


Please let me know what I can do to fix the terrible FPS dips in the game.

PS. Please revise the support links you provided me, especially the one that tells me to re-install random dependencies like the C++ runtime. It's a really bad user experience to reboot after the repair install and have windows be a full black screen. Plus random non-tech people don't have a whole lot of business messing with these dependencies anyways.

Please offer more help then this. The game is rather unplayable for me and apparently a sizeable chunks of players.

Dont confuse poor optimization with your PC not be able to run the game, optimizations can only do so much, eventually your hardware just wont work for new games that are extremely graphically demanding such as this one.

Yo fam I heard deleting the temp files boost performance I've done this and I've hit from 60 constant to 70 I have gtx 1070 amd CPU 8 core 32 gb ram warning not responsible if you try this and it messes something up but it shouldn't I've done this multiple times

[The Grin]

I have a desktop PC, AMD Radeon R9 480 4GB, AMD Fx 3850 4 Ghz and 16GB RAM....the game doesn´t play very well in fact. the FPS drops are tremendous and i play in high preset ! This must be fixed, i don´t want to refund that awesome game!

[HEY KID IMA COMPUTA]

Came back to this game after giving up on it for a couple of weeks. Whatever updates to the game and/or AMD driver seem to have magically fixed the issue for me. I'm glad the game is running at a consistent FPS for me.

Sadly don't have any advise to give others that are experiencing this issue. Just update your drivers/game and hope for the best, it's what ultimately worked for me.

[Leffli]

same problem with radeon 580x,AMd ryzen 5 2600 and 16 gb ram anny solution?

[Leffli]
