[GAME BUG]Choppy Gameplay/Spikes(Workaround)


(captivatingDaze) #1

Set HUD Alpha to 0 to fix this problem. Will disable crosshair and HUD if you do it.

Hello

Just wondering if im not the only one but within 5 - max 10 minutes of gameplay my game goes sluggish and slow and choppy as anything and is really difficult to play on.

Does anyone know if this is a major problem that is going to get patched in the up and coming updates? or if this is an individual problem

(I apologize in advance if this has already been posted by another user and discussed)

Thankyou

Yup, this has been happening for a while now, still seems to be a problem.

I have no idea if it’s even a memory leak. For me it’s fine when I’m spectating others, but as soon as I respawn and start moving about everything gets reaaaally choppy. Super irritating and makes the game unplayable. Hope it sees a fix soon…

Yeah this is a common problem for players.

Some fixes I’ve seen in the past are:

-Run Steam in Administrator
-Update Drivers

Really hope this gets fixed soon in up and coming updates

Have heard that it is a client based problem meaning that there is nothing that can be done unless the developers do something about it

That’s most likely correct, cause I’ve tried literally everything to fix the choppiness after 5-10 minutes of play. I think we’ve given these guys enough information to have fixed this by now. I’m now losing my patience. Bought the game 3 months ago, been having the problem since. Game runs flawlessly 150fps constant until 10 minutes later. If it wasn’t for this issue, this would most likely be my go to game… along with many others. If you guys don’t mind, can you post your PC specs? So far this is what I’ve got -

  • Game starts getting choppy after about 10 minutes of play.

  • Happens mostly around the time a new part of the map is opened up (although sometimes it DOES happen before that)

  • Game is lag free during spectator mode

Tried that a month or 2 back, doesn’t work for me.


(thoughtfulGrouper) #7

Well, I’ve figured out what’s causing it. The HUD. When the lag kicks in, go into your “game” tab in options, put hud alpha to 0. Game runs flawlessly… except you have no HUD. Not saying it’s a FIX, but I believe the HUD is to blame for these drops in one way or another. That’s why when you open the scoreboard (gets rid of HUD while scoreboard is open), the game runs fine while these stutters are happening.


(captivatingDaze) #8

Its funny also cause in warmup even after I am copping all this lag, i can run around so smoothly then game starts its gg im useless

yeah here are my specs

  • i7-4770 @3.4ghz
  • gtx 760
  • 8gb ram
  • 2tb hard drive

This needs to be fixed asap! Can we get a mod to contact a developer on an ETA for a patch/update for this?

Memory leaks are related to general optimization. As the game becomes more polished the issue will disappear. :frowning:

Not sure if you read above, but the HUD is causing it.

Yeah. AKA the Coherent UI process in Task manager. As they work on game optimization this issue will hopefully be addressed.

ASUS H97plus

Same deal.
Please let us know how much longer this will be an issue. I really have been enjoying the game and i’d love to actually be able to play it the way it’s intended to be played, but for now all I can do is hop on for 10 minutes and leave. Just plain frustrating as I genuinely enjoy the gameplay but I just can’t deal with the choppiness.

I must just ask, how hot is ur CPU while playing?
Have u tried uninstalling the game and take away all the ini files it left?

If u still have the problem could u link me a log file that is in this path and the name of the file is like this one as an example.
Launch-backup-2015.06.20-20.42.35.log
C:\Users\yourname\Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\ShooterGame\Logs

and later link me the engine file ShooterEngine.ini
C:\Users\yourname\Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\ShooterGame\Config

I had a problem with getting horrible fps more or less 5min into thegame and i had the game since closed alpha and i noticed that the ini files are left on your computer even if u uninstall the game and beacuse there was alot of new stuff in the game i got alot of problems and my log files got up to 10MB big with playing for like 90min. and they were full with this stuff in them. and uninstalling the game and reinstalling wasnt enough i neeed to go into my location were i had my ini files like the shooterengine.ini file and delete them all.

This is an example of how my logfiles had in them.

I’m having the same problem for 3 months now. Please fix that!

My logs files are very high too http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/305061logs.png


(Spaisekraft) #17

Also having this problem. Game runs butter smooth for the first 10 minutes or so and then just goes to complete crap. A solid 144FPS in those first 10 minutes, then it’ll start dropping to 50-100. Sometimes it’ll stay around 100 but stutter so hard it’s unplayable.


(Ardez1) #18

Thank you for reporting this bug.


(MandrewJackson) #19

So I have noticed the HUD has a bug. When i set the Alpha to 0, my game runs completely smooth as it should be considering I have a pretty decent computer. Are there any fixes for this? I obviously cannot play with Alpha set to 0 because I have no crosshair or map etc… Any comments appreciated :slight_smile:


(Fatcamp) #20

Could i ask you guys to try my engine ini file? http://pastebin.com/rYzn1wK3
I have tried following peoples config files etc but it always ends with me getting framedrops and this is my own one i have made and for me it works perfect. I have almost no hitches, i get a hitch here and there but nothing more than that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCazyypoPMs
i recorded with my phone beacuse i didnt wanna make me get worst performance by recording beacuse i got alot of hitches if i did record. and also sorry for the horrible quality , my heavy breathing and my horrible play. I had the phone between my knees sitting with my knees under my chin almost. so my breathing got picked up alot and beacuse i was sitting really wierd so did i have really bad aim and movement. But as you can see on the bar i had maybe 1 hitch each 10 second that was maybe for 100 ms. i know it is more performance heavy on a server with alot of people on it but i still had the same performance on them even if i played 5 games in arow.
my computer is i5 2500k amd r9 280. 8GB ddr3. SSD windows 7 64-bit pro sp1.
this file is made for a cpu that have 4 cores, a cpu speed between 3-3,5GHz, and a graphiccard with 1GB or over in vram.

If you have less than 4 cores or under 3GHz, and a gpu that have under 1GB vram write here and i make the changes to it.
