Huge frame drops after 0.8.3

Hello, this one is exclusively to the devs but as well to the people that have same problem after 0.8.3 I never had frame drops before below 60 fps (1percent dips) my system is asus rog strix scar g733qs (rtx 3080 16vram tgp 130w, ryzen 5900xs, 32gb ram) and now on two maps 1. Name is Defiled valley, and second i do not recall full name but the second word is street. I have fps going on 4fps from 80fps on average. Im playing everything on 2k max settings but i have never had this problem before.
Could u please check or do something in regards of it with your next hot fixes?

Thank u very much for the time in reading
Ps. I love your game obviously no question about it but this makes it compleatly unplayable

Edited: thhose are not dips those are 4fps constant frames through third of mentioned maps, those are comming not on skill casts or some extra animations those one is just comming by walking through certain area on map and it is like half of maps area

I’ve had a few, as well. Not a ton, but at least 2-3 times I thought the game was crashing to desktop, but it was only frozen for a few seconds.

Mine was lasting at certain point through half of the map but if i retur to the place where it started it just disapeared, and walking again forward it started

Edited:did u have those before the patch?

Nope, never had a game ā€œfreezeā€ in all the time I’ve played LE.

Oddly, I also notice that when launching the game itself, the initial splash/fullscreen doesn’t even appear for like 60 seconds. I checked Task Manager to even see if LE was running!

I notice it alot on some enemies skill. For example there are larger lightning elementals that spam targeted lightning AOE. They came in a cluster of 3 and their AOE is larger than normal (like a third of the screen). When they spam it, the fps just suffer in addition to me being blinded by the constant flash of white light. ( epilepsy beware)

The tornado from the gorgon also causes same issue. The ice barrage from ice elementa is another

Oh, as each Arena Wave ends, there is a new spike of lag as the Stash, merchant & barrels appear. Every wave.

What system configuration do u have?

Sometimes i have drop on skills of monsters as well but never belove 60 ok maybe it goes on 55 but i didnt see it, never any area or skill did make game behave like it did with this, im playing it since 0.7.10

Edited: yes i never tried 100summon build but i have tried all the classes, masteries and skills in the game except for acolyte

Rtx 2060, intel i7 2.2 ghz(cant remember the model),8 gb RAM, SSD. Limit fps to 45. Graphics medium, no antialiasing. Thermal maxed at 72C

My PC repeatedly blue screen yesterday though so take my findings with grain of salt.

I have noticed for the first time yesterday frame drops to 30 as well on ice elementals when there is 5plua of them but only on certain maps

I did not test it extensively but proccing multiple DoT effects on dense cluster of enemies also grinds fps to a halt.

As extra note, I procced multiple smite fissure, some ignite, armor shred and bleed, lots of time rot, lots of abyssal decay and a lot of hits from echo warpath

Yea for sure on optimization tis game has a long way, but i believe this 4fps what i have experience is compleatly different problem since it came after this patch before this patch i had like 220hours so i can safely say that, i really hope they fix it since its unplayable on 2 maps so far for me. I have idea maybe somehow my laptop is swiching during this time on itegrated graphics on processor so when it comes next time i will check it and update my experience

Hey there everyone…

There are a few bug/technical posts since 0.8.3 that have mentioned odd stuttering/fps drops where there were none before… Most seem to be with higher end systems - but this could simply be a factor of players with higher end systems tend to use higher end settings.

Some have been linked to the Displaymode settings (Windowed vs Fullscreen), others specifically to the Ultra quality setting and some have been linked to specific skills (like Ice Barrage). Nothing seems to be map specific right now tho…

Its not impossible that 0.8.3 introduced something that is messing around so in our role as early access players it would be good for the game (and devs) if we could try and see if there are any common factors or repeatable steps we can test… :wink:

If you could try and be as specific as possible when the issues happen (map, mobs, skills etc), that could help pinpoint the issue… and the devs are likely going to need player.logs when the problems occur…

There was no mob around it happened just by walking through certain area of mebtioned map in my post and continued through most of the map area and at certain point it just stoped fps drop i can understand but 4fps with my system i checked witcher 3 2 k ultra setings i run it on integrated cpu card it gave me 25 fps conatant so its not cpu switching as i thought

Edited i agree with your comment i think as well as much detaila as possible will help devs i didnt open this post to complain i opened it foe people to help devs to fix the problem

Known issue waiting for patch.

Seriously? How does this help anyone?

You have already posted in the technical support forum but have been unwilling to provide any information as to exactly what the issue is that you are experiencing and are providing no input to help the devs…

To be fair, ā€œknown issueā€ is a common response to a lot of the (duplicate) bug threads…

True, but @Zram is providing no value to the discussion and he doesnt provide any proof of confirmation from EHG as to the exact problem or any confirmation that a very specific RTX GPU hotfix is coming…

Sorry but I am annoyed and probably should step away from the forum right now.

I have had massive frame drops a few times when I gathered a lot of mobs on screen and killed them all with one skill. But they only lasted a second to max 2, it is scary though as if you don’t kill everything you might die. Which is the exact reason I don’t play HC in other ARPGs.

I am rly sorry that u feel that way. Wish u all the best. :grinning:
