It’s getting to the point where I can’t play the game. I was getting 40 fps first time I got the game (just after phantom released, can’t remember when.)
Now I get 30 by myself and 20 if anyone fires a gun. I have razor game booster and a fps config (sick6 I think) I can post my PCs stats but it’s infuriating when I can’t even compete.
Is there any news on optimisation?
@Jostabeere yeah I will edit it in, but I’m not near my PC the moment. And I never had trouble before, even though My pc is low end. And I’ve seen other threads like this, I was hoping anyone knew if there are optimisation plans.
Have you tried lowering your ScreenPercentage? The game will look blurry and bad but will get stable fps. Try out the config posted in reddit below.
@Black awesome, thank you. A shame that config a have become a priority.
The game hasn’t really changed a whole lot recently unless you’re on a super toaster. Pretty much every single person I’ve helped recently where they swore it was DB being not “optimized” (I despise that catch-all word these days) either started having heat problems recently and blamed it on the game or they had one OneFrameThreadLag=False in their config (it should be set to True).
Every single person.
And most of them were on older AMD systems or laptops too.

Do you have OneFrameThreadLag on?
I have it off because the input lag it creates is insane.
I can’t think how people aim with it.

Yes, of course I have it on. It’s 1 frame of “lag” that you trade in for a hell of a lot of FPS gain and consistency gain. If you’re playing at 60fps you only lose just under 17ms for that one frame of animation which is almost nothing. If you’re playing at 144fps capped like I am the trade-off is even more minor. Most monitors people play on probably has more input lag than OneFrameThreadLag=True.
The increased FPS and stability of your FPS, especially at higher FPS values, is worth a hell of a lot more than sacrificing one frame to a buffer.
DB with potato config ran as well as KF2 on high graphics settings on my previous PC… … just throwing it out there.
This may be a wild conjecture, but…maybe it’s time to upgrade… Games won’t always optimize to the point fossil’s can run it. At some point, you need to evolve. If your build is that low end (can’t really judge without stats), then consider upgrading, or as Amerika mentioned, see if it’s a heat problem. That can be fixed easily with some compressed air and patience.
speedfan is fine to monitor your temps. While builds differ and various CPU’s and GPU’s have different maximum thresholds of heat, a good rule of thumb for me personally is try not to exceed 75c with heavy load. Some rigs handle higher, some less. You can always look up specifics for your models.
If it’s a case of your rig being really old (generally you want to upgrade a GPU at least every 2-3 years), you could be getting bottlenecking and there’s not much you can do besides upgrading everything. Configs and potato graphics can only do so much.

I’ve found out recently that the ever-popular potato rig that has the Phenom series 955 AMD processors have a max heat threshold of 62c. Above that can start to deteriorate or flat out break your processor and you run into FPS issues due to this. And the processors terrible attempt at trying to throttle itself enough to keep from burning up also causes a lot of FPS woes leading up to that temperature.
If we’re talking Intel procs you definitely are on the button in regards to temp max for pretty much all i5/i7’s ever made.
Alright, thank you everyone. I’ll look into the heat thing and stop throwing accusations at dirty bomb. Hopefully I can find a way to boost my PC (as it isn’t that old, and I have 0 funds to get a new one) and when I do get a new one, I’m swearing off AMD.
Thanks again.
