Game is like slide show on a decent pc

[Van ZAN]

Hi everyone. I got this annoying problem that drives me crazy. I am on a point of giving up playing the game.

Game works really like slide show. Like character moves in pictures with no animations. I can't even dodge mob's spells/abilities. Any kind of PVP is not possible for me. For now I am doing only gathering.

Here are some wierd things I cought. I have a good pc and 2 monitors. Main monitor is for gaming and the second one for other stuff while gaming like browsing or watching something. One of the wierd thing is when I start gathering like mining a tier 5 stone node, I go to my second screen and browse and do other things. When I go to my second screen game works smoothly unless If I go back to my main screen and click on game. When I am on the main gaming screen fps: 50-60 , ping: 180 , ms: 16-20. And when I go to second screen while game runs fps: 140+, ping:180 , ms: 5-10. But when I am on the main screen it feels like it is 5-10 fps.

Second wierd thing is cpu and gpu loads. while I am on the second screen cpu:30-50% gpu:60-80%. When I am on the main screen cpu:10-30% gpu:20-35%.

Games setting on ultra and everything turned on. V-sync is also turned on and on fullscreen. I read somewhere that v-sync makes it work better on fullscreen but can't see any differance. The way the game works while I am on second monitor really good and smooth.

Please help me out with this annoying problem. Thanks from now and have a nice day.

My system is 1080ti, 7700K.

@Johnyboy420 I am not gaming on both of them. Main is for gaming and the other is for browsing or watching youtube. This also makes a problem even if the second monitor stays on desktop?

it wont matter if the game is being played on both or you use it for just browsing, its the way they work you need too try a do 2 dif refresh rates on one card rather then just do one it takes more memory and bandwidth its no dif then trying too run 4k and a 1080 res at once

lets also take into acct that your running Gsync with a non Gsync and you wonder why its
taking a dump

i learned this along time ago everything works best in 2's IE the same type not brand type
(this rule is dif when we are talking Raid HDD modes IE brand and type have to be identical)

this rule also kinda the same for GPU cards as well, as even tho you can put the clocks to the same lvls one may have an aftermarket PCB or cooler which will also make them perform differently GPU's that cant run close the same performance get micro stutters when in SLI/crossfire

try unpluging your lowend monitor and restart, see if it makes a dif

Disable the name tags and health bars of other players, keep them on only for yourself and party/guild/alliance members, makes a big ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ difference for me at least.

@M4steriPi I haven't tried turning of my secondary monitor while gaming. I will check it out. I haven't seen this on other games. What other games you had this issue with?

Mostly "Indie"- Games like Rust, Satisfactory, They are Billions, Kenshi and Pagan Online.
Games like Overwatch, WoW, Anno 1800, Apex Legends, also the Resource Hungry StarCitizen works normaly.

@M4steriPi no PC/videogame likes it when you use 2 dif refresh rates.... its like trying too run crossfire/SLI with 2 dif clocked GPU's it just dont work

rule of thumb: same res same refresh rate's

Thanks for the confirmation, i wasnt 100% sure iam right with it,but i can retrace that.
its just i had the 60hz and later with the new System i bought an 240hz and yeah some Games really dont like different refreshrates.
Maybe it gives also trouble that the 240hz has Gsync while the 60hz would need V-Sync, but the 240hz needs Vsync to be turned off to let Gsync work at is best :S .
I use the slower one normaly just to watch some stuff while playing , for example prices of Albion Markets :D

Thanks again Johnyboy420. I am new to using 2 montiors so I didn't thought I could have issues like this. Now I will read more abouth it. So I did everything had been told here. Moved to SSD, turned off steam overlay, using only one monitor and ingame stuff. Game works pretty good now. But I am still gonna use 2 monitors and it is pretty fine with 2 monitors. I can do all pvp stuff now. If anyone is having issues with the game should try these things.

This game is really wierd. Otherday I was doing dungeons and we went out after we finished. When we went out it was so lagy and someone said "it will be fine if you leave the party" and than it really went back to normal. Just leaved the party and this fixed it.

I am playing many other games but I noticed this only on this game. May be this issue was too obvious for this game.

What made you think that? lol

This is weird because my vintage 2500k/GTX 680 pc run this really well. Only time the fps drop is in cities where the screeen is filled with players/npcs

It's been there from the start, it's not your rig, it's not steam, it's the game!
