Hello everyone,
i just wanted to start a “new” topic just to note and check if any SETUP is working here to get an stable FPS and try to get some sight from DEVS just to fix this HUGE problem.
To get right into the matter, it’s pretty unplayable even lowering all the setting to minimum ( that even seems to NOT been working to get glorious classic 60 fps on a SHOOTING game) and let’s even not to mention that sometimes it is stressful to my setup just to keep up the fight with all the blood, effects and ragdolls happening at the time for no reason [ 3060 RTX - 5700k Ryzen - 16gb ]. My question is, do i need to have 5k dollars PC just to get average 60fps on a game that is not like the nexus of graphic innovation, because i don’t even want to talk about getting glorious 144 or even more (that seems to be a dream from this distance of performance). As a fellow player and mechanics enjoyer ( the only good thing in this game right now ) i would like to get some info about why this performance looks like that i’m running the game in a Nintendo Switch without battery on, i mean, we are living in 2022 and we expect to have a minimum of performance from an action game like this, i feel like i could run two Escape From Tarkov at the same time and have a smoother gameplay. This game is not that big to have such low performance.
Now the greatest question, are you willing to fix this under a month? Seems to be an impossible quest for a triple A company these days. No harm, i mean i’m not even tilt, i just can’t imagine those who have spent like 2k+ dollars on a PC and they are back into 60fps.
It is just a shame that many people leave games well prepared like this on launch days just because it’s impossible to not feel scammed by poor optimization management.
i7 and 3080 and 32gb RAM here.
Can’t really use RTX and have most settings on high or medium, but with those changes the game still looks great and plays smoothly at a high fps (no way to know exactly how high as far as I know, due to a lack of overlay info).
It would be great if the RTX optimisation would be improved significantly by launch, as that was something I was pretty excited about coming from Vermintide… I feel like the 30 series cards are all up to running RTX smoothly in and of themselves?
This game definitely needs some polish in performance but…
I would prefer engine optimizations for all users by implementing universal stuff like FSR2.1 and further work on optimizations overall, instead of proprietary stuff like DLSS, which only helps people who already have high end stuff.
Overall, the game needs engine and optimization polish, but if you look at the forum most people use FSR 1.0 over the DLSS since most people have cards that do not support it (since its only supported on rtx 2xx and higher, while most owners are still rocking 1xx cards since the market is so messed up).
This game just like vermin tide 2 is really CPU intensive, try increasing CPU threads on launcher, works for me
Honestly, based on the beta and the little time left, I’ll play on gamepass and then decide whether if I buy it or not.
tl:dr there is a settings file edit in paragraph 2 and 3 to boost and stablize your fps at the cost of no anti aliasing on the world. game still looks great and will play way better and be fun, so try out a match before you decide it isn’t worth.
The only thing that made this game stop lagging was effectively turning off most of the antialiasing in the game, which i sort of did by accident trying to adjust the AA settings in the config document. not sure what exactly is occuring in my graphics settings, but it appears antialiasing on the world is mostly turned off, and the game is finally running just about perfectly.
for anyone wanting to boost your FPS immediately to be smooth as butter all the time, open your config document and in your config document C:\Users(username)\AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Darktide (unset it from read only in properties, edit, then reset before starting game)
you will see 2/3’s the way down the document sun_shadows.
under this is taa_enabled = true
replace true with false.
anyone who does this let me know what you think in a reply here or on my other thread, thx
