Since about a week ago, whenever I load into battle the game drops from 100+ FPS to like 15 or 20 FPS. Zero packet loss, normal ping for my area, no unusual processes running…and none of my hardware running at 100% etc etc. FPS while in hangar and test drive are totally fine. Its ONLY after ive loaded into one of the primary modes, such as ground RB.
Additional steps to resolve were to reset my router and flush my DNS.
My hunch is that this is somehow related to either anti-cheat doing its thing when in a PvP mode…or simply that Gaijin has boinked their servers…again.
I have indeed done all of that. But again, its not a graphics issue… Hangar and Test Drive still run at over 100 FPS. Its ONLY in a pvp setting that the FPS drops.
Hi, This was pushed out more than a week ago. So i don’t think that is apart of your problem.
This wouldn’t cause you to loose fps either. Otherwise you’d see it drop in the test drive. Assuming you can load into the game, However the servers don’t seem to be having any issues.
Listing your specs, Any changes into your hardware/programs & things you’ve already tried so far will help people get to the root of your problem.
Anit-Cheat was just a shot in the dark. It receives its own updates as well, I assume…just like Easy Anti-Cheat before it did. I know on other games I have, updates to Easy could and did cause issues. Wasn’t sure if this new AC software might be facing something similar.
There have been no changes to my hardware or software in this time. No major system updates and no driver updates. I DID update my GPU driver after the issue started as an attempted remedy, with no luck.
My system specs are:
OS: Windows 11 Pro
Processor: 12th Gen Intel i9-12900HX 2.30 GHz
RAM: 32.0 GB (31.7 GB usable)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
Storage: 1.9TB SSD
I have tried:
Adjusting graphics settings (min/max/mid, with and without Ray Tracing, with and without DX12)
If it matters, it was specifically the aircraft testing map, which is much larger. Do the test maps rely on any kind of online component? I assumed it was all done offline like single missions and training etc. Maybe not… In any case though, I did delete the folders you mentioned and nothing was resolved. That is why I know those folders aren’t the issue…not because I made the claim that it only seems to be pvp modes.
I’d definitely try and get a reset on the graphics settings, and if you run an nVidia, I’d use the nVidia app thing, whatever title it is now, to do the recommended best for your setup.
Another thing to check could be the benchmark, under the battles menu and see what comes from that.
Well funny thing is I just tried that through the Nvidia control panel…and it maxed out almost every setting (including Ray Tracing, which is wild). The hangar was at like 6 FPS. So clearly the Nvidia auto-detect is drunk. I mean I can run with Ray Tracing at around 45 FPS but it feels sluggish to play so I disabled it in the end. If I play with Ray Tracing off, I can max out every setting but a few of the more advanced anti-aliasing options and still consistently get 120-150 FPS, before this current issue…
I will check the benchmark and see. I did just play another battle and the FPS this time bounced from around 12 FPS to 70 FPS with no apparent pattern. This was during both tank and aircraft spawns. Could this be related to having G-Sync turned on? Sorry, I forgot to mention I have a G-Sync compatible monitor as well and have that option enabled.
