There is a general pervasive slowness on 9070 xt. Steam reports 140(ish) fps but the game feels like it is running in syrup and choppiness. Running at deteced settings, lowered threads by 2.

cpu usage around 30-35% gpu around 60-85%

Provided link helped slightly especially in HUB.

The shader cache builder has been broken for the game for a while so those going from green to red (and even the other way around) will have big micro stutter issues. We’ll have to see what the Tuesday patch will bring us.

In the meantime, I recommend turning ambient occlusion down to low and textures to medium. I don’t know why but for some reason the AO is disproportionally performance intensive and medium textures have less stutter for little graphical change.

I see there is a lot of these threads. Is Fatshark just ignoring them? Cause it has been an issue for literal years at this point.

Well shutting off ray tracing completely seems to fix it.

My theory is that because the shader cache maker is broken, playing with RT on helps force the game to make shaders that are used for both RT and the non-RT baked lighting
