Extremely poor performance after 10-25 minutes in game (AMD system)

Performance

Issue Description (Required):

Hi,

Getting extremely poor performance (5-15 fps) after some time in game. This can happen either during the first mission or latest when loading into the Mourningstar after the mission.
This happens 100% of the time I play the game, making it unplayable. The performance in the few minutes before this happens is very smooth. It is like a switch is flipped from good to awful with no in-between.

This issue started occuring either with the last hotfix before the penance update or with the penance update as far as I can tell.

My specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
AMD RADEON RX 6800XT
32gb RAM
latest drivers

I tried deleting the shader cache, validating game files, changing the worker threads setting. No impact on the issue from those measures at all.

Would be great if this can get looked at, thanks!

Sorry to hear this @DireCerf

We’re working to address performance issues introduced with the Path of Redemption update. In the meantime, I recommend to try switching to our Experimental Build. Please see:

Thank you, I tried the experimental Beta and unfortunately it didn’t fix the issue. I replied in the thread.

Sorry to hear this didn’t help. Please bear with us while our developers work to resolve the issue and we’ll hopefully have additional fixes to try on the Experimental Build soon. Please keep an eye on any comms in that thread :slight_smile:

Apologies for the inconvenience while we get to the bottom of this!

Good news, the update rolled out yesterday (30.05.2024) seems to have fixed the issue! Still enrolled in the beta btw. Thanks for the support.
