Update 2.43.0.14

Specially in some maps.

I used to run War Thunder on 160+ smooth FPS;

After Firebirds, FPS went down to 110 even without enabling Ray Tracing at all, and Upscaling isn’t helping as it did before…

If it were stable 110, I wouldn’t even complain; the issue is it constantly drops to 50-80 FPS, and, sometimes and in some maps, down to 15-25, which is unplayable.

In Middle East, for example, FPS go from 105 to 25 every time I switch to gunner/commander sight and back to 3rd person, and I’m not the only one…

And my PC is NOT low end.

the reload speed in game is nearly 200% slower then real life. it was fine on the dev server, what changed when it released?

same for me, and i use a pretty high-end system. the game reports 70-100 FPS, where before i hade about duble that.
and now it says 70-100 FPS but it feels like im playing on 30 fps.

it stutters like hell. and its very iritating.

likewise, i go from an average of 110fps on ground and 90fps in air to 30 on ground and 40 in air (somehow??)

Still no update on PS5 anti aliasing?

A bug with the huge performance drop with with terrain displacement setting is still present, been there since Firebirds, and there is an active report on it still…

This is the bug I mentioned, drop Terrain Displacement to lowest setting.

You really should stop bringing up VIDAR when its competitor is HuoPao 05.

Give your game a dozen or so matches to compile shaders and the stuttering will stop.
War Thunder compiles shaders in matches, so give it time.

What i want is for them to stop dropping half-baked patches with bugs that didn’t even happen on the dev server, stop selectively listening to historical reports, and stop making this game into a lazy cash grab!

Why does this bug come back every other update. It’s so annoying.

Same here. The game at least looked stellar (on accident I assume haha) with high distance LOD after Firebirds release. So I accepted minor performance loss no problem.

We are now back to shimmering textures, blurry fields and sub 300 meter LOD’s with even worse performance.

@Stona_WT Can you see how many likes this comment has?Will you still change its reload time? Change 10 seconds to 8 seconds or 7 seconds.

Please do something about the forced trim when switching to full real controls in airplanes. It’s annoying and really messes with gameplay. Either remove it or make it toggleable. I thought it was a bug last patch since there’s just no setting for it.

Are you using DX 12? I got almost 50% more FPS when I changed over to DX 12.

Yep, DX12

The only setting I changed is that I removed DLSS because the difference between Quality + Sharpness and Native is like 5-10 FPS for me. Even enabling DLSS back, I get these huge FPS drops!

Oh that’s odd, when I use DLSS I get 100-150% more FPS lol. I also do NOT like using DLSS as it makes everything blurry as heck. Have you done a clean install for your GPU drivers? And/or rolling back a few versions?
(Obviously) that shouldn’t be happening 🤣
I have a 3090ti fwiw.

That being said- these performance issues are on Ground only! Naval (100+) and Air (140+) are fine.

I also deactivated DLSS because of that, hahah. Even on Quality everything looks blurry, not much better than setting everything to Medium. I used TPS Sharpness to fix that, but even then, the FPS gain I get is marginal at best, and drops still happen, hahah.

I have tried everything I could think of, but no idea at this point what may be going on! Asus 3060 here.

HRM, well you prob already tried these, but gonna post just in case:
Delete the cache AND “compliedShaders” folders
image
Restart launcher, let it redownload the compiledShaders folder
RE restart launcher, then do a file check/verify
After deleting compiledShaders, I double check to make sure this setting is “OFF” (to the LEFT) so that it will download camo’s etc IN MATCHES, not just in hanger:


THEN, this one has been an issue with frame rates in the past, so you can check if this is already off. If it is on, TURN IT OFF and retry as well:
