Why do some of us suffer FPS drops every time there is an update?

(doxjq) #1

The title says it all. It’s something I’ve noticed in the past, and someone else just told me they have been suffering performance issues since the update, so I just played a few games myself and I was averaging about 60fps less than normal as well.

Considering my settings too, it seems weird to get such low FPS. My computer is 2.5-3 years old, only running a 4670k / 780 2gb / 256gb evo pro ssd etc, but even with everything set to off using “minimal” settings with texturepoolsize 1 it seems weird I only get 80-110fps. It fluctuates 30fps every second or so.

I’d like to say it might be something on my PC, but my PC is as bare bone as a PC can be really. It’s a gaming rig with windows, bnet and steam and only 4 games. I still have like 190gb free on my 256gb ssd for instance. No funny software, nothing that could be chewing up the CPU, I just don’t get why I suffer with frames so bad in Dirty Bomb.

Because some of us have potato PC’s.

Nah JK, the real reason is that a lot of times there is an update (not only in Dirty Bomb, people were complaining after major csgo updates about fps drops there too and I know I had some drops after major tf2 updates), a lot of stuff get changed and the devs don’t know it (because obviously they have beast computers and they don’t spend too much time on testing). They only find out after people complain and then they optimize it somehow.

I don’t know exactly what’s causing this, but it happens in every game when it receives a major update

Game isnt optimized…

I tried playing the game last night to see all these collision bugs people were talking about but I couldn’t stop dropping frames. Yes I have a config and no my computer is not a potato. The cherry on top was when the game crashed at the end of the match. GG SD

To answer the title question, cause it’s SD we are dealing with here.

I would recommend you to add or increase virtual RAM size to 8192 MB to your windows system.

I had this too. And it definitely isn’t my computer.

Oddly enough, I do fine ingame. My specs are worse than yours @Dox (AMD FX 8320, GTX 660) and my FPS is never spectacular, averaging 70, but it’s consistent, and that’s all I’m worried about.

For me, frames has just gotten better since last year. I definitely had issues before, but now they’re gone, and I can run medium settings with all lighting turned off pretty successfully.

Same here, now even more stutter :neutral:
Game Crash added as bonus.

On the same level with you. When dirty bomb was in closed beta I could easily run a nice 60+ fps, but now I struggle to get a stable 60.

unreal engine quality.

Also I have to go back and redo every. single. one. of my binds, it’s infuriating.

(Ohsnapkline) #12

same I had to reinstall fixed the frame drops for me
