Game is a slideshow lately

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Performance Feedback
1

Issue Description (Required):

I play Darktide at a humble 1080p aiming for 75 FPS with vsync.

It barely ever reaches that target lately. It sometimes hovers around the target FPS, it can tank down to like 35 - 40 FPS, and frequently fluctuates around in that range, making the game feel like garbage. It’s 2025, why is this an issue? Optimize your game please.

Hardware is:

Intel i7-10700KF
AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT
32 GB of DDR4 RAM
850 watt PSU
Windows 11

Drivers are up to date as far as I can tell. Anything I can do to try and help this on my end until Obese Fish learns how to program?

Turn down graphics if you haven’t, and use an upscaler option. Games these days are built around the AI upscalers, can’t really do much about it

Performance has gotten noticeably worse over time and I’m pretty confident that your CPU is your bottleneck here. If you haven’t already, try lowering the ragdoll count near the bottom of the game’s video settings.

  1. Learn what VSYNC is and how it works.
  2. Don’t be a jerk when you are asking for help.

Me when hypocrisy:

7

How is asking them not to be rude when asking for help and then pointing them in the right direction to fix their issue is hypocrisy?

8

Oh, is that right? In that case, how is them pointing FatFish in the right direction means being a jerk?

9

They are not pointing FS in the right direction. The issue is OP doesn’t know how VSYNC works.

That is rude.

10

And instead of telling them to just turn off/on VSYNC you tell them to “learn how it works” just like OP said to FS “learn how to code”. Almost like you try to do the same thing you chastise them for?

If you fail to see how you are coming across now, then I guess, no reason to keep trying to make you see the hypocrisy, irony of your comment.

11

Irony sure, that was the point. Hypocrisy, no.

OP was being a jerk, I called them out and was terse with them in my response. I could have been more helpful, and if OP wasn’t a rude I would have been.

I didn’t say anything derogatory to OP, like OP did to FS. You seemed to have no issue with how OP called FS bad programmers when the fault was solely with OP. You didn’t even seem to notice that insult.

12

And you ended up coming across as rude yourself.

Hypocrisy is when you criticize an action, then/while doing that action. You criticized OP for being rude, then you yourself made a rude remark. I see hypocrisy in that.

Look, you can say that the only jerk here was the OP while I can say that you’re both jerks, and we can go back and forth like this forever. But I’m sure none of us wants to waste our time arguing over this.

Let’s just agree to disagree and go our own ways.

13

I criticized being rude when asking for help. If you want to call my comments rude, so be it, but I was not being rude while asking for help.

We wont see eye to eye on this and that’s OK.

Cheers.

regarding the topic at hand around 4 or 5 updates ago the “sand maps”, excise vault in particular, started to act strangely.

at first while being 144fps it stuttered in what felt the whole amount of enemies getting loaded at once.

what’s baffling is its only certain map “boxes”

for example last open hangar with say 40 elites, slideshow at the risk of not hitting my shots.

drop down the buried cargo box with the SAME amount of enemies in tow or even more on the other side, perfectly fluid.

same lighting, same amount of fx particles etc, essentially same load for cpu/gpu

so what gives that has this bermuda warp triangle eat my fps?
