Stutter, low FPS issues and Freeze

[SturmButcher]

Guys any word about this? My setup is powerful:

I7 4790k liquid cooled
16 GB DDR3 @2400
Gtx 1070
Acer predator with G-Sync @144hz
SSD Samsung 850 250GB Windows 10
SSD Samsung 860 2TB Games
PSU EVGANova 750 Gold

The game freeze a lot from 80-100 FPS to 16, framerate is horrible, not constant for a game with decent graphics(not even demanding) I don't know how I managed to play 50hrs, just because the game is good and addictive I think, but if not I would have killed the game in steam reviews. Any word about this? The game is pretty much bottlenecked I think and that crap engine don't make the things easier. This should be top priority Devs and I hope you do something fast, because the latest beta patch don't address this...

Delete save files except your last one. It helps with an overall performance of the game for some magical reason.
Also: force the v-sync.

[󠀡󠀡]

Thats a decent setup however , of course the devs wont ever admit it, the game is poorly optimised, as you can clearly see, also its using unity thats another cause and reason for concern, at best :

Delete saves keep 1-2( indeed hillarious to suggest this but thats the price us players pay for devs choosing unity ugh... but as you can see, many people and i can too confirm it is indeed helping with overall performance )
Force vsync or limit fps to 75, 80 or 90 or 100 etc.
Disable ambient occlusion see if that helps at all
Use 1080 p ( lame yep but thats what it is untill overall performance is fixed ) , not your fault the game runs poorly even on high end hardware .

In my btech campaigns im using 2-3 saves max and sell any/all items i have ( ..again another hillarious and retarded quickfix but it works!... , because unity.)

[SturmButcher]

The thing is I have already deleted the save games, I do it regularly maintaining no more than 5, but that solution won't work unfortunately

Oh but they admit. Every resolution above 1920x1080 has issues. Its written in the pinned resolution thread.

so guys I have an 1080 gtx and I get low fps as well but for some reason when I check the box windows mode and hit the key alt+enter my fps goes up to 60- 80. so give it try and let people if it works for you.

[Skaldgir the Raven]

I have also notice another thing my fps goes up when I move my appilicans to one of my monitors . so maybe its an multi monitor issue.

The game seems to be surprisingly vulnerable to hard-drive access. About the only time I get stutter at the moment is when something seems to be happening in the background with the hard drive. Not sure about the best way to reduce that, but avoiding having other stuff open while playing would probably be a good start.

I've turned off ambient occlusion, which helped a lot initially, and forcing Vsync seems to help too.

I have noticed that the save game thing does have an impact, but for me it seems to be the between-game pauses - loading things prior to battles - finishing up at the end of battles, etc. Removing all but a handful of saves seemed to really fix that.
(I keep one after I get the Argo, and 2-3 "current" saves just in-case of crashes)

Ultimately, however, it's going to have to come down to post-release optimisation. Let's just hope they're on it. :)

Have anyone managed to get stable 60fps?

I have
intel xeon 2660v3
32gb ram
nvidia 10603gb

And the game doesn't work well. i really often get drop to 30-40 fps even on the first mission (with turrets and mining collective).

[Werecat101]

CPU Intel I7-6700k @4.2Ghz
mem 32GB
GPU AORUS GTX 1080 Ti Waterforce Xtreme Edition
O/S Windows 7 Pro custom install specialist build.

I can run the vanilla Battletech at 4k with very few delays for AI and 60fps well can get 102fps but I use vsync because I don't see the point in running a GPU at full speed for no reason I have a 60hz monitor.

I play the Roguetech mod and still get 60fps

why Necro a 3 year old thread for you CPU which is a 2.6ghz base 3.3ghz turbo chip that was never designed for gaming.

I have a GTX 1070 and some days the game runs like a dog (To the point where it freezes every time I click the fire button) and other times it runs at 75fps with no issues.

I blame Unity, which sucks and people should stop using it. I've seen unity games stutter and slow down in the game trailer that the developer is using to sell their game with.

Bad unoptimize code will perform poorly no matter what engine you use. Unity has a bad rep for quantity of amature devs using it for their pet projects, but there is plethera Unity games which is well optimized.
Besides that most BT issues are about them not knowing how to manage memory, and thread their code properly.

[Vesperal]

Well I got a i9-10900KF & 3070 GTX and game regularily drops below 50 FPS on 1080p when there are actions like moving mechas, smoke raising, etc... so it still runs terrible.

Some lucky people have less issues, but the devs never admitted they did utter garbage with optimization

[Smugass Braixen-Chan]

The lack of proper graphics options doesn't help.

The game is probably running with x16 Anti-Aliasing (So basically running at a 17280 x 30720 resolution) with no way to change it, that i can see.

[Werecat101]

ok you can read and do the things below which are basic things that will improve the performance or not its your choice.



Boot.config can be found in steamapps\common\Battletech\Battletech_Data

the boot.config should be altered to read what that does is enable rendering jobs across multiple CPU cores instead of just 1 thread.


gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1
gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1
wait-for-native-debugger=0
scripting-runtime-version=latest
vr-enabled=0
hdr-display-enabled=0

I was involved in the creation of this guide most of the tips are from the Rogue Tech team.

making your machine perform better with these fixes is simply a question of tuning your PC and making sure it is setup correctly

follow that guide and you should see performance gains.

You mean making sure the GAME that the devs did a crappy job developing is tuned correctly. There is nothing wrong with my PC.
