Game feels very sluggish since unlocked and loaded update

Issue Description (Required):

Hey guys, I don’t know if alot of people are having this, but since last update, the game plays very weird for me, like there’s input lag into everything that I do in movements or shooting or even activating my skills. It didn’t use to have that… In fact the game ran awesome. Am I the only one ???

i experience this problem. i can not name it as lag, feeling it but not a lag. I have click to button twice to pick up stims and other. Sometimes weapon not switching or switching after a delay. Kind of a registration problem or delayed server response. It does not effect game play much but it is annoying.

Maybe fsr frame generation turned on? After update it was automatically on for me, which improved fps, but caused significant input lag on my end

Exactly, it feels like lag but it’s not lag… it’s more than annoying for me, in fact I might just not play until they fix this…

I don’t know what it is, I turned off everything that I could from FSR and ray tracing and a bunch of other things, still runs like crap.

I have definitely had that happen a fair few times. It’s like the server doesn’t register your actions so you have to throw a grenade twice or shoot twice before it actually happens. Seems to be an all or nothing thing where the servers just become unstable for a while or otherwise they’re just behaving normally

I never had that problem before this new update, ever.

Ok well I don’t know what fixed it for me, but I turned off all the adrenaline software optimization options for darktide in addition to turning off everything in-game video options.
I don’t know if that is what fixed it, in fact I’m not sure it did, but when I tried to join a lobby, I got kicked out of the servers, and when I rejoined everything was back to normal…
The game still runs like sht compared prior of this update tho…

may be it is a kind of cpu/gpu optimization problem on client side. i will try your suggestion.

Yeah, I had this as well.
Ran weird and sluggish. Worked slightly better when I lowered worker threads by one, but that cost me some fps, so went back up again.

Ran better today. So maybe it’s just shader compilation after patch. They like to hide these during gameplay and usually takes 1-2 days of play for it to settle in.

I have tried your suggestion. Turn off every fancy video settings like bloom, lens effects and refuce gore settings. It is better now but not as good as before. I have rtx 4700ti and i5 13700k. i suppose i dont have any bootleneck.
