Frame rate stuttering since 3.1
" I'm fairly new to all this c-state stuff, but I probably can assume that my cooling is fine since it never goes over 75C according to MSI Afterburner... My Windows management plan is at hight performance and all my cores should be in use, since they aren't "parked". I haven't tried to update my BIOS yet though... maybe that's it? | |
" You shouldn't even need to think about the C-state stuff, it should be pretty much invisible. By design; it's basically a cooling and power reduction thing done by the CPU. A BIOS update may help - sadly, everyone has a hand in exactly how C-state use happens, in part because a laptop wants to be way more aggressive with them (longer battery life) than a desktop, etc. More aggressive use can certainly reduce overall performance, just ... to get the FPS drop you report, that kinda goes from aggressive to ridiculous, which is why I suspect they are not the actual cause of the problem. Of course, I'm just guessing to some degree, playing the odds on what is likely to cause the problem. Try updating afterburner, then ensuring it is not running at all, and see if you still have the problems with FPS, hrm? |

Can we just state the obvious here? It`s 100% because of the game.
Since i had absolutely 0 problems with 10 breaches in a map few weeks ago, and that was with freezing pulse and 56935 herald of ice shatters. And now with 3 tornado shots and 0 elemental damage it drops to 30 fps constantly. And with anything regarding graphics set to low or off. p.s. every time i trigger abyss cracks fps goes to shit. It`s a 60/30 clusterfuck. Oh and dynamic resolution doesn`t seem to do anything Just re-installed windows 10, all updates, re-installed PoE i7 960M 16gb SSD Awesome league and all. Too bad it`s barely playable Last edited by LaurelWreaths on Dec 19, 2017, 1:58:44 PM

" Yep, I've tried everything. Game worked fine last patch, runs like crap now. The only thing that changed was the game. There are all these posts and threads from people and yet others still insist on giving the same "advice" of updating drivers, changing settings, etc. That's not it. A problem this widespread can only be on GGGs end. They refuse to even acknowledge it so far. | |

Same boat, seems the MO is to keep quiet about it and hopefully it fixes its self driving away more players etc.

Same problem with FPS drops on hit/cast. Just testing poe and figure out that my problem is any sources of life leech (blood rage, passives, etc.). Someone with similar fps drops can check it and share the results?
My PC config is: -Windows 10 (1709) -CPU FX-9370 -GPU R9 290 -RAM Corsair 8GB -SSD OCZ Vertex 3 -Temperatures are fine.

A user mentioned in another thread that it could be something to do with new corpse mechanics as it happens mainly in combat (mobs dying and making a corpse).
Can people still having fps issues confirm its when they kill a monster it occurs (not corpse spawning with desecrate but actually killing mobs) preferably in maps where the density of corpses would be quite higher than normal. Edit: Follow up question, do you notice the fps drops when doing abyss more often than normal content specifically when monsters have spirit charges? Last edited by lif44 on Dec 20, 2017, 7:42:20 PM

for me 3.1 is FPS not friendly.
the best we can do is " IS WAIT ( FOREVER MAY BE )" no reply from official GGG since it is holiday season. you got a better help from other players and other techy people in Reddit. mostly i tweaked a lot of settings the sudden increase in FPS and stuttering really does happen , high and low end graphic settings. it is a free game anyway, thus they dont have a credit on 3d engine eg Unreal engine or capable 3d devs , SO dont EXPECT TOO MUCH. | |

I started this thread just a few days after the patch. Everything is running much better for me now although I do still get stuttering. It has been running well for a few days now so I am comfortable saying it with certainty this time. The only changes I have made are that I play in fullscreen now and I turned on predictive mode. Predictive mode is amazing (for me personally it has been at least). I do not think it was latency issues causing my original problems but latency has caused stuttering for me in the past. This solved that for me (with very minimal desync).
The main things that cause lowered fps and stuttering are the new abyss mechanics/monsters. Even when they are dead on the ground it still causes a pretty big drop in frame rate. Also fire,ice and desecrated ground still cause fps drops as well. There should be an option to lower the quality of those effects. That would solve a lot of issues. It would be nice if we could lower the quality of other peoples MTX as well so I would not have issues while playing with other people. At this point I never play the game with other people because of performance issues. While soloing ,however, the game is running pretty well for me again. I am pretty happy as I have created the best character I've ever made. | |
