DunkelUlv Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Literally three hours ago I was running around the Plains with my framerate sitting very comfortably at 60 FPS (with every option MAXED OUT). Now I can't go past 40 fps during heavy fights. I don't know what exactly why (new particles? Antialiasing?) all I know is that I can't play like this. I also tried lowering lots of settings but nothing changed. I know this might not be that big of a deal for someone, but I personally can't play a fast game like Warframe if I can't reach at least 60 fps. I guess I'll take a break from the game, at least for a while. I'll be sure to check the forums from time to time to see if anything changes. I hope the new renderer they've been working on will fix this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareT12 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 There has been undoubtedly a change that's making things wonky. I have hiccups on my end as of the latest update as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implodingbanana Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 have you checked if directX 10 and/or 11 are turned on in the launcher? I had a similar issue, my frames were stuck at 40ish fps. then i checked the launcher and noticed those 2 were unchecked, after that it went back to normal. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have hiccups on my end as of the latest update as well. This is what I found in the official changelog: Made some micro-optimizations to numerous beam effects (weapons, Shield Auras, etc). Made a micro-optimization to drawing certain types of lights. Made some micro-optimizations to particle systems and cloth simulation. Made several TAA improvements: fixed blurring under motion, much higher quality, and much sharper results! Well... Those "micro" optimizations gave me this: and this I used to have 60 FPS in those areas. And during fights it's even worse Edited October 13, 2018 by DunkelUlv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myscho Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Verify and optimize download cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also wiped and reinstalled my video drivers, just to be sure. No success. Looking at my GPU usage percentage it looks like the game is just "heavier" to run.

As I said in my case it's hiccups more than actual frame drops -- I'll have a spike here and there where the game kind of loses performance before recovering. It's usual with large updates such as this. But I trust that next week we'll see things start to return to smooth as butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbynaru Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I noticed weird stuttering after this update as well. Even though my framerate stays constant at 72, the game doesn't feel and look at all like it's running at that framerate. It feels like there's some frameskipping here and there. Which is really annoying to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamantConsternation Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) Running a stock 3570K and a HD 7870 here. I'm also have vsync on (makes fps drops more noticeable) for eye strain issues. The game is definitely not running as well as it was pre-update.

Arkgul Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Same problem on my home pc. Went from solid 60fps (vsync) to 7fps on login screen!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmissaryOfInfinity Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Just confirming the issue here as well. Normally get perfect 60 FPS at all times, running latest version I get semi-frequent lag spikes/frame skips, especially during heavy combat. While it's still playable, something definitely changed with this update, and not for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinKenshin Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Having the same issue. What kinda helped me is lowering the new ‘intensity’ setting. After the update it’s preset to 100, during that my FR was terrible, when I set it to 0 everything sorta went back to normal. I still get low FR but that’s prob from my craptop and vpn use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkgul Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) My hardware: GeForce GTX 560 i7 2600 @ 3.4GHz 8GB Ram Old Graphic Card so I guess something got changed in the new update... I am now stuck at 7fps with LOW setting... Basically, game is unplayable. Edited October 16, 2018 by Arkgul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro747 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 My framerate usually is at 60fps but it does get clunky as heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
