Less FPS and drops

Yeah it seems like the game is broken for sure now. The only thing i haven’t tried is to reinstall windows and i don’t intend to do that before someone from the technical team actually reaches out. Let’s see when or IF they would respond around here.

👍 Very good. I added a comment with all my info and the issues I am encountering.

the same happened to me with the CPU temp first i thought its only shader loading but i played for hours and the temp was still very high updated everything but still high before the update my cpu temp was 60-70 now its 80-90 it spiked one time to 95 i stopped playing after that

CPU side of things it is 100% true!!
Before the update my CPU temps were in the low 50s and now it’s in the mid 60s, I really don’t know what they did

I also noticed a very strange thing happening (I’m always monitoring my performances while playing)
When launching the game (in the hangar) it is extremely intensive, my GPU pulls up to 210 Watts, but after a random time it goes down to 130 Watts ???
(FPS locked at 140)

Thank you very much, @Stona_WT . It worked for me.
Do you know what happened that made the WT graphics look like this? Is the Gaijin development team already trying to fix this?

This actually happens to me as well! Have you also noticed anything about in the count down room before the game, there are random drops as well?

Devs are aware and working on it.

The devs need to focus on optimizing the game, as performance has dropped significantly in the last little over a year. Previously, I had a fixed 165 fps on all maps, with occasional drops to around 155 for a second. Now, on all maps, I rarely reach 165 fps, staying around 145, with continuous drops to 115 or less. This is on older maps. On maps like Attica (the worst optimized map of all), the fps stay at a maximum of 120, with drops to 90 or 80.
In short, the devs need to stop adding vehicles and focus on 100% optimization. It can’t be that the game looks 5% better and that costs you 20% of your PC’s performance.

Please stick to the topic.

Currently running everything maxed at 4k in DX12 with RT on and PTGI.

Specs:
MSI X870E Carbon
9800X3D
5080 FE
Corsair Dominator 6200 2 x 32Gb
Samsung 990 Pro

Normally run the games around 120-140 fps in Ground RB without issue. Now I notice my FPS will drop and stutter around 20fps, predominantly when a bomb is dropped on the battlefield. It does not matter if it’s next to me, or if I’m looking at it. This lasts for 5 or so seconds. Sometimes tabbing out of the game and coming back seems to help, but maybe this is just killing time until it’s resolving.

Tabbing in and out helps me briefly as well. For example my fps is capped at 116 with gsync, sometimes in the beginning of the game i see it 120, somehow overriding the control panel settings. When i tab out and back in, i see it at 116. I did try without gsync, and different drivers suspecting it a driver comparibility issue but didnt help with stutters.

I also noticed today that my vram almost maxes out at 1440p 120fps. I got 4070 with 12gb vram and i dont think it should max out like this. Perhaps a vram leakage combined with other problems?

Could you try to record just 1 of your game (in tank) with MSI afterburner/rivatuner overlay on (gpu and cpu temp/usage, power consumption, temps, VRAM allocation/usage, RAM usage, CPU and GPU core clock speed, and of course FPS with a graph)

Something similar to this :

I haven’t played tanks for over a year, i hear it is even more pain in the rear than air :) but i can do that with air battles and post it here.

HWINFO log of a ground rb test drive

Dip in the framerate at the end is when I shot a nearby tank and it exploded.
I am using this site to plot the log:

first screenshoot is in the hangar second test drive and the last in game lol it was never like that

Yeah there seems to be a cpu problem it seems. Which cpu are you using?

Have you tried checking any background apps running? It shouldn’t still affect like this but it just might.

War thunder seems to take advantage of threaded optimization from nvidia control panel. Can you maybe try to enable it and try?

Extra steps would be to download processor lasso and set performance cores on cpu affinity to the game. ( simply download and install processor lasso, open the game while the program is on, tab out to open the program, right click on aces.exe and set core affinity to performance cores only).

These steps at least used to fix my stutters on VR and gave me a 10+% performance room. Worth to try.

really?
I tested it and it seemed like it didn’t do anything…
might give it one more try to make sure then.

my cpu temp in game was the same like in the test drive im 100% sure nothing running in the backround and treaded optimization was already active im using i5-1135G7+ GTX 1650 laptop my cooling is pretty good my cpu temp should not look like that
