yeah same, happy to give the small team time, but this is far worse than the previous version in all performance respects.
Because that is just the way it works unfortunately, the cost of crossplay and so on, not our descision to make. But now they should be in parity when it comes to features, except whatever differences may lurk under the surface enginewise. And the shaders shouldn't compile constantly (not at all in dx12, and only once for dx11), and it doesn't on any computer we have managed to get our hands on yet. We are trying to replicate it, but so far no luck. Could be something as arcane as The Ascent having way more shaders than your average game, and for some users the shader cache on the driver side gets full and starts to recompile constantly due to being too small. But we don't know yet.
It's not a different "version" per se. But there are differences, which is what happened with raytracing and DLSS. Steam version also has stuttering, but it's a bit hard to sort out the noise, it's not like we have accurate data unfortunately. We also mostly see the ones with issues. But we are working hard on it.
Same thing happened to me, it's a compile bug. Wait a few minutes and it should finish in the background. No more stuttering for me.
Yeah, that is new bug, will be patched out. Stutters goes away after some minutes of waiting instead of instantly like intended.
I recommend you use RTSS (Riva Tuner Statistics Server I think it stands for). It comes bundled with MSI Afterburner and it's the one used in the screenshots above, I believe. It's also the GOAT for locking framerates to 60 with good frame-pacing, from what I know.
Happy to help. It's not user friendly at first but it's super useful once you get around it.
Press Win + G to use Game Bar's widgets. FPS is one of them, under Performance.
Ooooh, nice! Thanks for the info :) Although one can't play and view fps at the same time, no ? Since it overlaps the screen and everything.
Did you leave the game running for a few minutes? Check this last page. Not sure if it applies to DX11, though. I had to let my game run/compile a few mins and it's been smooth since.
rebooted PC just in case, 5 minutes and counting still 8 fps... fraps still says is running on D3D12 which I don't know if it's normal as I have always had DX11 selected.
Set it to DX12, and then turn off raytracing. On Gamepass the engine doesn't support DX11, unfortunately, which was news to us and why the UI is showing you incorrect information. That should fix it.
Is this ray tracing ON or OFF? I can't click on those buttons to change it BTW
Ray Tracing will only work on DX12. That's why the options are grayed out.Is this ray tracing ON or OFF? I can't click on those buttons to change it BTW
This doesn't work for me. I still get stutters during running around the map and when an explosion happens. (on a 3080)
Keep playing and keep looking out for better items. The skills will come and the game will become more fun.
Thanks. That's the hope. It's a really neat looking game that is drunk with potential but starts rather unengagingly.
I'm not sure, I haven't been following the thread that closely but I know there are 1 or 2 of them in here somewhere. Maybe they can help you out.
I'm still facing performance issues with RT On with a 3080 but even then its not as bad as you are stating. Maybe its a bug and RT is actually On without DLSS. That would explain the numbers you are getting. Something is very wrong there.
When this feature was new, pinning something would disable gsync. Is that still a thing?
Looks like you were right. For some reason it wasn't registering when I saved my graphics settings. Apparently it was running with all the RT options ON and DLSS was off. Made a world of a difference switching ray tracing stuff off.
