Performance tanked after the update

[KerdaKai]

Has anyone else experienced this? I've been playing game the past few weeks, as recently as yesterday, on a 5070 TI, running at a pretty stable 144 fps with 50 - 60% GPU utilization.

Now, post-update on the same graphical settings (Ultra), my GPU is always running at 100% utilization and 70 - 80 fps, with incredibly choppy frame times. Dropping to the "Very Low" preset gets me back to 144 fps, but still at around 80% load.

Was there some new (incredibly heavy) visual setting added this update that I missed? i don't see other people talking about performance, but mine getting halved immediately after an update seems like it must be related.

Performances are tanking since 1.2.1.x hotfixes (fps drop/stuttering/disconnections). Now, even more?

It will only worsen before they realize playerbase growth and retention tank too, for "no reason" (apart not being able to play the game).
Before addressing issues, they have to be fully acknowledged in first place.

Sorry, a bit salty when I read things like this in 1.2.2 patch notes:

> Improved the experience while suffering from moderate packet loss, which often manifested as desynching and disconnections.

It's like " improved experience of not being able to play the game"

The last patch basically broke the game for me. I lose the ability to cast any skills for 1-3 minutes at a time, then it suddenly comes back.

PERFORMANCE patches , when ?!

It's been super weird for me. Since the start of this cycle it's a total crapshoot if I fire up the game and get a buttery smooth 100+ fps or an unplayable mess with drops down to 1 frame ever 2 seconds or so. This is without getting a bunch between starting the game. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I do consistently get frame drops when the particle effects from those Zerrick looking worm mobs are spewing out the blood projectiles.

The hotfix patch (1.2.3.1) appears to have resolved the problem for me, back to my old performance. I'm genuinely impressed that a minor patch managed to render the game unplayable for so many people in so many novel ways.

They are so ♥♥♥♥ with engine so never, best thing you can do is use fluid motion frames or things like loseless scaling

I can't play the game since last 2 hot fixes. The lag is extreme, memory + CPU usage is super high, everything were smooth before.

we almost have the same hardware but my settings are low with fps tanking. interesting. I have a 4060ti which is the only difference here.

Check if that thread helps you with the issues, it's not the same issue but I guess it does not hurt to try?
