Extreme Lagging!

[Sean ツ]

Whenever I load into a single player world, and load in a vehicle (custom or pre-made). It always lags when I accelerate. It's really really bad lag. It doesn't matter what engine it has it just always lags. I've turned my settings all the way down, and no change, it just kept freezing and lagging. If anyone has a fix please tell me! This issue is really annoying and I cant get anything done if my game keeps freezing when ever I try and play it.

You should really list your specs.

Also, are you on a desktop, or laptop? If on a desktop, are you 100% sure that you have your video cable plugged into your graphics card, and not your motherboard itself? And, what other games are you able to run? Are there a crap ton of background processes going, or other programs?


Now, the best thing to do is to actually set everything to the minimum. It won't be pretty, but it will help to determine if the game is even playable at all on your system.

Make sure every option is on low (for me this reverts back to default settings everytime I start the game), and that you're running fullscreen and set your games resolution to the lowest number it will go. Also, you should lower the game resolution scale to the minimum, and turn off auto focus under gameplay.

Start a new game and build and load in something really small, like a very basic car with just a base, 4 wheels and an engine, and see what it's like at that point. If it's still the same, or similar, then it sounds like you should really look into upgrading. =P

Thanks so much for replying!

Okay, so I've already tried setting it to the lowest settings and nothing helped. I play on a Desktop snd my specs are below.


Processor: AMD A10-6700 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 3.70 Ghz

Graphics card: R9 280X

Ram: 15.0 GB



I can run GTA 5 at like 45 FPS with decent settings, and I can run most other games aswell. This game ran fine before but one day all the sudden it started the problem. It does the same thing in multiplayer as in singleplayer. Changing the settings didnt help, and neither did making a smaller thing. I've tried reinstalling the game but nothings helped. I'll keep looking into it and maybe you can also help me woth the new info. Thanks a bunch!

Based off of that info, it would appear as if you may have accidently plugged your video cable into your motherboard at some point without realizing and are running off of your processor. That is definitely worth checking out, just to be sure. =P

What are you getting for framerates? Does the game seem to run fine in the menus? How about the garage? Have you recently tried manually capping/uncapping the games framerate via program or config file, or done any other config edits?

Have you tried playing anything else today, like GTA V? Is that still running like before, or is there a difference there as well?

Have you updated your video card drivers recently? Issues happen with some games sometimes with certain updates. Look into either finding a newer stable update, or if it is the newest already, it might be worth going back to something slightly older.

Have you increased your computers resolution recently? Are you running multiple monitors? Even if it's no to those, you could try lowering your desktop resolution and see what happens in game (be sure to change the games settings/resolution again), though I doubt it'd make too much of a difference.

And last, do you have Steam broadcasting on, or In-Home streaming? If so, make sure to turn them both off completely.

I'm running an ASUS Strix Z270F mobo, Intel i7 7700K, Corsair 2x16 GB 3000Mhz memory, MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB OC card, 128GB Corsair SSD, Windows 10 Home 64bit. I can confirm it lags as hell. If a vehicle is more than 500 bricks I don't even try because it will unplayable lag. Even vehicles under 500 bricks count lag sometimes in crashes.

I'm hoping this post gets more attention. because i have a pretty crap PC and i was looking for ways to improve FPS before i buy this game

[Knight]

I have a AMD dual core, 5 gb of ram, a radeon 7850 with 1 gb of vram and the game was laggy for me for some time, but after the update it runs pretty smooth

I also have an AMD cpu but mine is an AMD Phenom II x4 Black Edition, i have 16gbs of ram, and an AMD Radeon 6800 series 1 gb gpu. Even when i just go into the City map with no vehicles i get 20 fps. I think its the graphics card so im looking into buying another one

[StingerPanda]

I can run the 8-15 FPS with all graphics set to medium on my laptop

[Lizzard]

This game and others like it (Besieged, Last Leviathan, etc.) are nearly 90% based on CPU specs vs. graphics cards. And some is based on RAM. Unlike GTAV or the lastest AAA Ubisoft title, with pre-defined models and effects.

My 8-core, 4GHz processor does alright up to about 9,000 bricks. If you get down to the quad cores with smaller caches, you'll start to notice is large decrease in performance for all of these physics-based games.

I can only run at 12 FPS with the graphics on low. :(

[The Somewhat Fantastic Mr. Fox]

I have a Dell Intel inside Core i3
Inspiron 3558
7-gigabyte processor
Hyper-v encryption support
64x based PC
Microsoft Windows 10
My PC still lags, no background programs running, the game is on the lowest graphics settings, and I updated my computer, Still lags like I'm running my game on crappy potato power! HELP!

If anyone in here has an integrated GPU, then that's your main issue.
If you do not have an NVidia GPU, then it will also hurt performance.
High graphical power and high RAM are a must for this game. If you have an AMD GPU, then you need a good processor as well.

Sean, if this is a new issue, then it does sound like you somehow switched to the onboard graphical hardware and are bypassing the GPU. I remember seeing you build thigns before and you had some decent stuff.

I'm totally not a Spy:
That won't run this game. Period. It's not strong enough. I'm surprised it even lets you open the game on an i3. Last time I tried that, it told me that I wasn't good enough and shut down imediately.

VicyX:
Your issue is being 100% AMD. This game runs off of NVida Physx, which is not present on AMD cards. It also seems to run better on Intel CPUs for some reason. The base City map is also extremely laggy and is one of the worst performers of the maps, so that is not nessesarily a good benchmark. If you want the highest possible framerate, use Gridmap.

Sky:
If you have a "crap PC", then it really comes down to your CPU. If you have at least an i5 (or equvalent) and 8 gigabytes of RAM, then you should be able to at least run the game but not do anything with large creations or do Multiplayer smoothly.

Gabor:
I honestly don't know why it doesn't run on your system. Cannot explain that.

i bought this game today and i'm also having problems. for a minute i got like 150 fps but the models and map looked like a 2000's to 1995's era game. i messed with settings and now the graphics are stunning, but im seriously getting like 7 to 8 fps

[nothing_cool]

Do you know your computer's hardware?
If it is a store bought, can you share the model?

[Tuthenutter]

i actually had the same problem for a while and i use a 1070 ti
