Issue Description:
Whenever I browse my characters cosmetics, Operative Cosmetics store or penances the assets slowly and stutterily load in and reload whilst scrolling up and down in menus.
Attempted Solutions:
I recently switched from 3060ti to 6950xt before which I hadn’t noticed this. Perhaps they’ve always loaded like this when needed (scrolling up and down), just not…this slowly.
I used DDU to cleanly uninstall nVidia drivers before the new GPU installation and installed the latest Radeon drivers that i had downloaded beforehand, no Windows auto-installation.
I tried verifying game files, redownloading/reinstalling, with and without mods. Ran sfc /scannow and fixed 1 thing, but to no avail. At this point I may just try reinstalling Windows to top it off since it’s quite annoying and makes me paranoid that it’s affecting performance outside of this as well.
Platform:
Steam
PC Specifications:
Windows 10 pro, all up to date
Ryzen 3700x
AMD 6950xt // 23.4.3 drivers and 23.3.2 drivers tried for what it’s worth
16gb ram @ 3200mhz cl16
NVMe 1TB on which the game is installed with ~150 gb free.
it is amd thing, it happens on my rx 6900xt and few other amd cards.
it only affects amd and windows, on amd and linux there is no such problem, there is a bug report regarding this filed about 1 month ago… titled that loading times in windows are 3 times longer than on linux.
my observation is that on amd cards and windows game loads assets one by one and while doing this, it pauses the main thread leading to shuttering. the cosmetic screen is the easiest way to observe that, but this happens on each screen where skins or other 3d models need to be loaded
Same thing on my 6700xt.
These problems also contribute to longer load times for many AMD users as the loading stalls and stutters and completely stops/slows the loading process during those periods.
The experimental build doesnt help address this issue either.
amd support is in very bad shape, since last patch ray tracing is always on for me 6900xt @4k), that makes perf not the best (30fps dips when there is a lot of flames)…
this game is totally broken state, patches break stuff instead of fixing stuff
Did you also go from Nvidia to AMD after Darktide launched? Cba to read through the other thread atm, but did you do a clean Windows install? That being formatting your windows drive. I’ve been wondering if that could be a potential issue. I’ll be doing that anyway after I get my 5800x3d, hopefully that’ll resolve some issues.
Gonna unplug LAN cable and install mobo drivers and gpu drivers myself manually after clean Windows install to try 100% isolate this issue. Maybe it’ll work for me.
I’m bumping up this thread as I encounter the exact same problem, now in march 2024. It was not a problem days/weeks ago, then somehow it appeared.
Interestingly, I have a friend using the same specifications (6600 XT 8 GB, 5600X, 32 GB RAM) who has no problem. I reinstalled the game, put the same driver he uses (namely 23.4.3 from april 2023, I was using the latest one), and guess what, nothing changed.
I would like to note that this continues to be an issue, even on the RX 9070 XT with the latest drivers.
It seems to be unrelated to DirectStorage as I was running the game off of a regular SSD, but even after moving it to an NVMe with DirectStorage support, the behavior is the same.
