Massive FPS drop in sniper sight, stops only when zoomed in

Zoom fps drops is fixed for me.

I have this same issue! Began shortly after the Firebirds update, which significantly tanked my performance in ground vehicle 1st person unzoomed scope view.

I get a very significant FPS drop when I’m on the ground vehicle tank sight, unzoomed. When I zoom in, it seems to alleviate this issue.

Importantly, this is with (the settings I’ve always used), which is with SSAAx4 on. I’ve run it this way for ages and have had good FPS in all views, but now this is dropping my FPS significantly when I am unzoomed. This makes ground combat unplayable unless I disable SSAAx4, which I’d really rather not, because the weaker anti-aliasing makes the game look rather jagged, and the stronger ones (w/o SSAA) leave considerable ghosting and blurring when camera is in motion.

Update:
No, it’s not. It’s just happen not everywhere.
On Afganistan it’s always bad. Can’t play there.

Still can’t use shkval and mercury on Afganistan.
FPS falls to oblivion.

The same thing is happening with me, friend. For a moment it seemed it was fixed, then I go back to the tank test range, and the FPS dropped again.

At the least, we are not alone. It has been reported here: Community Bug Reporting System

I hope they look into this.

Okay guys, try lowering Terrain Displacement Quality to absolute minimum. It’s a shame that it’s necessary, but that seems to fix the issue completely for me.

I solved mine a little by changing the VGA configuration to use the CPU

Identical, yesterday on ITO or leclerc if I change view on sight view, my FPS drop to 140 to 15 = unplayable
I have a 7800X3D and 4080 super. It’s just unplayable. gaijin, FIX this fast

I don’t mean to be rude, but are you reading the posts above? Try this, and see if it helps:

finally! something that helped, thank you! since the firebirds update my brain’s been hurting whenever i tried to play this game, i went from 144fps with Vsync on to 50-80 fps whenever i was using the sight, because of this problem i took a break from the game since the update released

IT WORKED, IT WORKED!!!

I didn’t even have to lower it to absolute minimum; even just ONE step lower from max solved it!

Lowering it to the mid setting, I now have stable 150 FPS.

It must be a bug, I can’t believe this setting can have such an enormous impact on FPS.

THANK YOU! This is the only and final solution to this problem, it must be pinned!

Has to be a bug. I’ve played with all settings pretty much maxed WITH SSAA always on 4x, and have never had this kind of performance drop. I really hope they patch it up.

I’m glad people are seeing this and it’s working!

This, and planes a billion kilometers away dying and your fps is stuck at 10fps for the rest of the game

That sounds frustrating, but let’s please report that separately if that’s its own bug. A lot of times I see this type of comment on a post, but if it’s a genuine issue it really needs its own post; let’s not use a post about one thing for all performance-related grievances.

I confirm this is working, and i also confirm no need to put it to minimum, just one step lower fix it, i went from 40 fps in gunner view to the normal 80 i had in the past. Thanks you, i was not playing GRB anymore because of this annoying thing !

I lowered both terrain quality & displacement quality to 1 & stutter gone & FPS drop is almost gone (FPS drop’s sometimes by 10-30 FPS with no effect on gameplay/latency whatsoever but it’s very rare & way better then the alternative/before) so I can live with that.
