Lag in menu

(waxxan) #1

I have after the recent patch (i think) got a weird lag in the menu only. Its like its 10 fps plus stuttering.
In game its 120+ fps at all times. Have done a verify files in steam, but still the same issue.

Is there any chance you gave the Dirty Bomb process a high CPU priority?
The menus are a different process than Dirty Bomb. If DB has high/realtime CPU priority, it drowns out the menu process and lag happens.

Its the same exe at least, ShooterGame-Win32-Shipping.exe and its set to normal prio. ~20% cpu usage.

CoherentUI_Host.exe is the menu process that I thought would be in distress. With DB at normal prio, I don’t understand where the issue comes from.

I hope someone else can help you with this, I’m out of ideas already.

aha ok, yea CoherentUI_Host.exe is at normal prio as well. I have however two processes of Coherent… is that normal?

I see you use a ASUS ROG Swift with a GTX 970. Do you have GSYNC and VSYNC in the nVidia Control Center activated? Dirty Bomb doesn’t like GSYNC in the Menu :frowning:

You can deactivate VSYNC for DirtyBomb in the nVidia Panel, thats makes it a little bit better. It still has some delay but it’s not as awful as with VSYNC on. Or you can deactivate GSYNC completely for Dirty Bomb if you wish.

Edit: Make sure that vsync is deactivated in Dirty Bomb itself.
