Game Freezing and Various Lag Since the last Update?

(SiegeFace) #1

Hey guys, pretty new to dirty bomb, I have been playing for around a month or so and loving it!!!

Since the last update though I have been experiencing the game freezing up at random moments for a moment or so and returning to normal straight afterwards and also the game is running at 120+ fps yet it feels like 30fps (maybe input lag or smth) and also huge hitreg issues with the game and a myriad of other performance related issues. I was wondering if anyone else has had these troubles since the last update and maybe a way to manually fix?

A little side note, I did have this issue with the last hotfix update that fixed the spec bug (which funnily enough introduced the bug on my system since i never had it before that patch) but verifying the game integrity/cache in steam fixed the bug and the fps/hitreg/game freezing etc issues but this time around it has not done anything.

My specs

i5 4670k, R9 280x, 16GB DDR3 Corsair XMS3 Ram @ 1600mhz, game installed to crucial SSD and running windows 7 64 bit.

Any help would be great, and loving this new update, just wish i could play without the issues lol.

Also I have pretty much everything set to max, apart from AA which is off since it kills the framerate so much for some reason (probably because this is an nvidia title) and some pointless post processing nonsense.

For a laugh i switched the preset to medium which actually made the game look cleaner and prettier for some reason, but still have the issues mentioned above.

I thought I was the only person experiencing hit reg problems. Ill have my aim on point and for some reason I dont do any damage what so ever, I even get the ding for the headshots. About the freezing at random moments, Im having the same issue although my set up is different to yours. AMD FX8320 GTX 970, actual running frames is like yours, way beyond 120 but it will drop to the low 50’s on occasion and even freeze frame completely.

fps drop is real on “dome” map, for me too :frowning:

A little update, Turning off the steam overlay for dirty bomb stopped the “freezing”, improved the fps even more but still feels like 30fps on times, sluggish to say the least, and the hitreg is dire atm, cant tell if its my end or not or if its the update or servers need maintenance.

I get the ding too, yet you can see there health bar not change after the ding, so frustrating as then they just end up killing you.

Your GPU is better than mine and its an nvidia optimized game, and the 8320 is one of the best choices for gaming on the amd side, so i doubt its our hardware. I’m having to use the ingame fps counter (type “Stat FPS” without quotation in console) to see fps now instead of the steam fps counter, since i have the overlay turned off and I have not seen it dip but it still feels like 30fps for some reason.

Ok, kind of done with this game, threw a grenade to a phoenix who was delivering a objective on train-yard who was just standing still and even though i already weakened him down to low hp the grenade didn’t even touch him apparently.

Ill come back when they fix this is just unbearable,
