Started: 7/16 when I ran the game from a new rig Symptoms: Low fps in general. Benchmark mode gave me an average of 38 fps. My CPU speeds drop down to .80 ghz with CPU usage going from 27% to 33%. CPU is not overheating. GPU goes up to about 60% usage and is also not overheating. Curiously, I get more fps when I turn down “processor power management” minimums and maximums to 50% under my power plan settings. Solution Attempts: -I have cleanly un/reinstalled GPU driver -I have confirmed the game is using the GPU and not integrated graphics. -I have capped my frame rate at all presets with no improvement. -I have cycled through fullscreen/borderless/windowed with no improvement -Set Vermintide 2 on “Prefer Maximum Performance” under NVIDIA Control Panel with no improvement -Disabled mods -Reenabled mods -Lowered video quality -Disabled background applications with no improvement shown -Tried running in DX12 with no improvement -Verified game files -Checked hardware for faults -Changed worker threads in launcher, no improvement Computer Specs: -Windows 10 Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363 -x64-based PC -Intel i9-10900k CPU -RTX Geforce 2070 Super GPU -32 GB Dual Channel DDR4 RAM -WD Black SN750 SSD (where the game is installed) Console Log: console-2020-07-22-19.47.33-08b783f5-c9d8-4f12-989f-6a6f61f7e63a.log (128.1 KB) User Settings: user_settings.txt (32.8 KB)

Started: Must be after the drop of the 3.1 Patch maybe earlier as I took a long break sometime after WoM hit but I only really started getting annoyed with performance after 3.1 (Played the BBB leading up to 3.1 didn’t notice any issues then. Symptoms: Tested Primarily on Official Servers on Cata Difficulty 80-90 fps during ambient enemy encounters, 60 fps on hordes, 110 fps in keep on Lowest Preset Fluctuating FPS drops 30 fps difference between my previous Highish Custom settings to Lowest Preset Settings What I’ve tried to remedy this: Disabled all of my mods, and discord overlay (noticed maybe 10 more fps overall) Switched between DX12/11 didn’t notice much difference but I played primarily on DX12 before and expected it to settle down after a few mission runs as assets were loaded in (it didn’t). Tried all applicable suggestions in this post by Fatshark Employee Julia published two months ago (didn’t notice any fps changes however minor they might’ve been). Set FoV to 90 after hearing a higher value would affect performance (no change) Turned on and off Vsync, Switched Max stacking between Auto/1, and Switched between Windowed/Fullscreen/Borderless (no change) Set Worker Threads to 9 Checked if CPU was overheating, it was (80C a few days ago now 55C-60C after a new fan+ thermal paste replacement, and arguably made the situation worse with more Horde density). Verify game integrity through Steam (did find 1 file failing to be located but problems persisted) Changed performance Settings through Nvidia Control Panel to allow maximum performance (no change) Specs: Ryzen 5 2600x 3.6ghz GTX 1070ti 8gb GDDR5 (updated to most recent drivers available, problems listed above persist) ASRock B450 Gaming K4 Motherboard 2x 8gb Ram Sticks, Speed at 1200 MHz DDR4 Dual Channel setting Windows 10 Pro 8/24/2020 console.log console-2020-08-24-23.13.52-2cdefb1c-18ed-4e30-9cfd-476d947bb3da.log (461.1 KB) My User Config: user_settings.txt (56.5 KB)

Huge FPS loss occurred during random run since it began, has nothing to do with the map because I played it just fine this day, I wasn’t the host. FPS dropped down from average 90 down to 20 when I looked at specific angles, the worst case was when I looked up. I usually have 40-45~ fps during Cata hordes, this FPS loss occurred with 0 spawns. In the video take notice to the upper right corner for the FPS counter.

FPS drops to ~ 30 during hordes, stable 60 otherwise. Started abou 1 month ago, no problem before that. Lowering CPU-related settings (lighting specifically) from max to low reduced the drop to ~40.

The game totally unplayable now. After two years of not having this problem I now can’t even play it. Not as a player connecting to others or hosting myself. Once a horde comes it’s all jittery and stuttery and then just freezes but I can still hear it. Right now I made it half way through Standing Ground before the lag stuttering became permenet and I eventually apppeared in the temple but I saw one shot and nothing more. THen it would catch up and stop there. Then again. I don’t know how one person in the group managed to be unaffected by this when I was the host. It also seemed to get worse when I’m near another player I think?

Every single time I try to complete a level, the game just randomly crashes. This started happening after the bug fix, so it might be connected to that. I don’t use any mods, before the bug fix there were no problems with the game. I don’t think this is because of the computer, I can play every other game just fine.

THIS. I’ve found this happening to me at least a handful of times on different maps; I remember this happening on War Camp and lately I’ve noticed performance drops on Taal’s Keep when my camera is looking in the direction of all the potions (nearby all the dummies). I was trying to see if it had something to do with proximity to various pickups (like when I’m closer to the potions and looking at them it gives performance drops) but I know this isn’t the case. It really has something to do with what camera is looking at.

When I had this problem, I switched to DX11. That at least stops the screen stutters and freezes. But you will still drop down to 30-40fps during hordes. No idea why…
