This game performs worse than ever

Before the firebirds update, the game worked bad. Now, after the update its worse. I used to experience game stutters at every action happened in the game, even when a bush falled near me, my game would stutter for a milisecond. Now, after the update i have even more stutters and lower FPS. I have a laptop with rtx4060, i7 13th gen, 16gb ram, it can handle most of the games at high + 100FPS except war thunder. Before the update i used to get 180+ FPS with Movie graphics. Now with almost everything on low i have average 150FPS (with massive stutters). Also, a nice feature after the update is the massive frame drops when you zoom in your gunner sight. It drops from 150 to 40-50 for a second, then back to normal. Its literally unplayable for me.
I’d love someone to enlighten me with some “meta” graphics settings
PS: i already uninstalled and reinstalled the game hoping the stutters will stop. Thank you.

For me its every single time i go into my scope my fps randomly decides to drop to 12 fps, my pc is not a potato by a longshot, and i can almost max settings on tarkov and the like, so the fact that war thunder at simple movie graphics makes my fps drop is bs

always funny seeing people with rtx 40xx complaining how their fps is 140+ but “bad”

I was having similar issues. I would go down to around 35fps in ground matches. I changed my anti-aliasing setting around and got it make to around normal.

Does enabling v-sync help?

for my eye constant 100+ is perfect, what is bugging me is the fluctuation of it without sense. like the 1st guy said, his fps drops to 12 when zooming his scope. You have no ideea how many time i missed my shot because the optimization for the game is so good it almost crashes an 150+ FPS game when a slight zoom is applyed

doesnt happen to me with a weaker gpu

The FPS is not the major issues, what triggers my inner criminal kid who is 1 stutter away from global massacre is the constant stutters of the game

consider downgrading your specs incase your new tech is unstable

I think enabling v-sync would help with some of the stutters. Worth a try.

Well first off, your CPU is defective [all 13th and 14th gen Intel CPUs are confirmed defective by Intel’s own words, and it’s not confirmed on whether new stock is fully immune].

As for stutters, the game compiles shaders as you play, so for the first couple days of matches you’ll get shader compile stutters, then that’ll get smooth. Your GPU, system storage, and other areas learns more about the “new” software.

insert “its been 84 years” meme . i had WT installed for 1.5 years before the yesterday’s reinstall.

Every major update is a “new install” to your computer hardware and operating system, especially 3D engine changes [D3D11/D3D12 for example].

“simple movie graphics” is a misleading statement. First, movie settings should only be used for watching replays, not good for regular game play. And I think movie settings are also higher and more taxing on your system than max.
But prolly the best way to see how stuff works, especially now with the improved graphics setting UI(it explains things a lot better than ever before for each setting), is to go into a test drive/flight/sail and munkey around with different settings in there and see just how they look and effect you system & it’s performance. There a re a lot of things you can turn down/off completely and they are still there . . like Shadow stuff, Tire tracks, effects resolution/particle density . . . many can be lowered considerably and you still get to see that stuff in game. But it is a time consuming thing for one person to do . . but I just can’t help changing stuff myself. And for any Nvidia GeForce Experience users, be sure to go in there and turn off the “Automatically Optimize Games” feature, because all it will do is turn EVERYTHING up to max . . . very few people have the hardware for that, and it can cause problems as well.
Anyway, I hope you get it sorted. New Updates always have some bugs for some people when it comes to graphics . . . this one . . . yeah . . prolly a lot more people having issues currently

switch from TSR to FXAA hq or lq and go to anisotropy 8x instead of 16x, should give you some frames back and let you increase some of your qualities back up a bit

Good, solid advice

how come ive never had a problem with it before this point?

cause they added a bunch of extra options to graphics settings this update and there were some weird choice for new default settings and the settings for presets

V-sync was causing huge stutter issues so I had to turn it off.

Where as before the patch the game stuttered with it off.

Now I just have micro stutters throughout the game.

I have a 3090 + 5800X3D so I have no idea where the stutters are coming from.

Oh I dunno . . just some things I tried when this new Update and all the graphics changes that came out . . . . but it was pretty much how I have always messed with that stuff in the past really. I got the ray tracing to work ok, I have a 3080Ti . . but it just runs my gpu hotter than I care for and the “extra” stuff is not worth it to me just yet . . . we’ll see how things get sorted in the near future. I had tried DLSS in the past and it didn’t work for me at all, made things worse. But now it actually seems to help a good deal . . lol. But I don’t really know for sure, not that technologically advanced . . . all this new stuff . . hard to keep up with . . . old & all . . . ☻
