to start here are my spec
AMD FX-8370 8-core 4.0GHz
24.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 669MHz
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
I have been trying to fix my fps drops for weeks now and im starting to just lose hope in playing this game with a smooth 60+ fps. It constantly dips below 40 during hordes to the point it unplayable. I dont know if its my hardware or whatever it is but the game is just unplayable right now for me. This has only become a recent issue ever sense the balance beta. Before then I was always at 60+ fps and never dropped below 60 if i did drop at all. ive messed with prerendered frames, worker threads, and all my settings as low as possible and still just constant fps loss. If anyone else has any clues as to a fix for this id love to hear it.

> Issue Summary: Since the 1.2 beta (or later) some people myself included have performance issues that were not present before. These issues are very important in my opinion right now as they heavily impact gameplay and make it impossible to play in certain games (host/connection dependent). This post is here to illustrate the issue and hopefully be of use to solve it. While I am sure you know of this issue you have not acknowledged any post on any site to my knowledge.

Upon waking up this morning and trying to finish my weekly quest, I’ve been experiencing extreme lag and audio bugs. The Sienne issue with beam staff is almost unplayable now, I will drop down to 18fps during a horde if she’s attacking anything. Also, my attacks are phasing right through the enemies and they are hitting through …

I feel like DX12 got even worse this update 60 fps if nothing is around period (I cap them there), 40 as soon as there are like 5 enemies and 20 during hordes. The stutters never vanished since 1.2.

Yea, stutters still happening. I just noticed something tho, when these stutters happen. It locks up the entire PC for that 1-4 seconds. I can’t even alt+tab to discord or anything. Rather strange… this is the only game I have that has issues with DX12.

PC specs don’t matter. It just randomly occurs. I have a 1060, 32GB of ram, i7, etc. My wife has a 760 or something with 8GB of ram and a i5, she can run the game on higher settings and with better frames in DX12 then I can run it on lowest settings in DX11 lol.
It’s just something random that gets triggered during updates. My wife had it for a few weeks before a new patch fixed it for her. And my friend had it before the challenges update. It was fixed for me after the bög DLC was released, then they did a patch and broke it again for me.

But to answer your question, Switch to DX11 and see if that helps you out.
