So, here is a question - is anybody experiencing performance issues after the update? I’m playing on a laptop with the following specs:
CPU i7-11800H
GPU 3060
RAM 32GB
and I’m pretty sure my framerate used to be much more stable (aside from teleporting to new regions or fighting the Echo Knight). I understand that laptop hardware is much weaker than their desktop counterparts, but right now, my FPS is constantly fluctuating - the FPS monitor shows it jumping between 30 and 60, though it feels more like 14. V-Sync is off, though turning it on doesn’t really change much either.
As for the settings - I’m running at 1080p with balanced presets for everything. Switching to full performance mode also doesn’t improve things noticeably. So basically, I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced a drop in performance on similar hardware, or if this is just some issue on my end.
when you say jumping between 60 and 30 is its instant 60 then 30 or is it all in between? if its instant then you have vsync of somesort on be it global override or what have you. if you have variable all in between then yea that stuttering and what not.
now with that said this is THE best the game has ever performed for me on both my main PC as well as my steam deck. smoothest consistent frame rates and most stable frame pacing.
No, it constantly changes, although there’s a kind of rhythm to these fluctuations. The monitor shows 26, then 44, 60, 32, and so on. I’ve reached the city now, and the performance seems to have improved a bit (outside - inside the city, there are still stutters). Although in cutscenes, it’s still wonky. It looks like the image slows down slightly, then speeds up as if following a bezier curve to sync with the audio, but they’re already out of sync. Looks weird. Guess I’ll need to upgrade my hardware this year.
when playing before the breach update I was on 50 constant fps now it like 20 and it only goes to 70 when in cutscene and i really want to play the game not having to deal with the clunky fps drops while fighting for my life in a boss fight
