FPS Drops, Stutters, Cursor Latency and General Lag Inside Orbiter

[Mohmi]

Same Problem to me here.

The Bug came with the "Starmap Performance Update" (And a Cave Performance Update)

I figuered out, if u start the game and DONT use the Starmap, you will have of these drops... its the Starmap and DE brought it with an update...

I have this issue for weeks now, pls fix it finally....

can calm u: its not ur system. i thought the same at first and sat hours checking everything...literally.

as i already described here too, its caused by the starchart. try it out. at the moment its nearly 100% as soon as i open the starchart once it starts occuring. starts weaker and each time it laggs its more intense until leaving the orbiter. around every 40-50 seconds. i counted. roughly every 2.5-3 idle animation loops of a warframe, depending on the animation set chosen.

its been ingame for quite some time now, at least for me, cant tell an exact update though. just dont open the starchart unless ur 100% u want to go on a mission or to a relay. thats what i do to avoid it.

I have tested around, the bug (fps drops) always apear after using the Starmap.

[NinjaFuchs]

Yup, I can confirm it now aswell. As soon as I open the starmap I get these random drops in performance. Switching back to a solo session seem to resolve the issue, although I haven't tested that too thoroughly.

changing to solo doesnt solve it for me - only leaving orbiter to wherever and returning solves it until i reopen the starmap. right now it happens all of the time but often when a mission is chosen quickly its not noticable so it might have happened unnoticed all the weeks before and seemed random.

lets hope DE can reproduce it soon and fix it. luckily doesnt hinder gameplay but still annoying tbh.

Hi again,

I wish I had better news, but unfortunately we are still having a difficult time reproducing this issue. All of the information that you've provided has been very helpful, however there's still something that we're not seeing. With that said, could anyone who is still experiencing this issue please send us a copy of your EE.log in a support ticket?

You can find your EE.log here.

And you can submit a ticket here.

I'd recommend typing something in chat before you open the star chart. Anything will work, even "hi this is my star chart".
Then, repro the performance drops, close the game, and grab your log file using the steps provided.

Thanks!

EDIT: We are able to reproduce this now! We'll try to get it cleaned up as soon as possible. (Sorry for the inconvenience!)

Thank you. I'm happy this is finally getting resolved.

This bug is pretty interesting, only happens when my camera is facing the back right door of the orbiter looking from the front of the orbiter, but not if i look towards the other side. I am using an rx 580 and i notice when this happens, i get a downward spike about every 60 seconds about 4-5 percent which somehow drops my frames from 72 to 30. at that interval i wouldn't be surprised if it was an animation loading issue or something similar

[0ldboy]

With the last updates i notice a great performance loss,to the point that is not possible to play.For me is not only in the orbiter is in general.Before the last updates the games runs smoothly in everyway.

Today after reset all my graphic card options and check the game cache,the game crash my computer.

I use a 3950x,32g and rx480 8g...i know the g.card is not the best but a think is more than enough to play at 60fps.

I not going to spend my money in this game until DE fix the problem,today Warframe is not enjoyable for me.

Hi everyone,

We have a potential fix for this issue, so we'll try to get that out to you as soon as possible. You should see it in an upcoming hotfix.

Same problem here ... I'll be looking out for that hotfix of yours ... Thank you !

This morning we released update 27.3.12, which includes a fix for the freezes that would appear inside the Orbiter shortly after opening the star chart. Please let us know if you continue to experience this issue after you've downloaded the update. Thanks!

Great to hear! We'll take another look at those and try to find more improvements for the rest of the Orbiter.

I have the same issue, fps drops and high gpu usage in orbite, only afking. Its happening since the last updates, even not in orb vallis or PoE i have this problem.

[AltairFerenc]

I have the problem too. I have a potato laptop tho but I had a "stable" 25.-30FPS on the lowest settings EVERYWHERE in the game. Yesterday during the day everything was fine then I wanted to do 1 mission during the night and I had 10-15fps, I reainstalled the game and It run today during the day like a charm, then I wanted to do some mission during the night again and yet I have 10-15 fps again, I don't want to reinstall the game every god damm day just to get a solid a performance for a couple of hours.

High GPU usage is normal

So, if you look back in this thread I said that I had a ticket open, it's been open for nearly two months........

The issue with the star chart causing the 60 second interval lag has been fixed.

BUT

I'm a bit frustrated with how this went down. I very very clearly explained exactly what was happening and what was causing the issue. Support had me doing all kinds of different things, essentially to check it wasn't on my end. Which to some extent I get. But this finally came down to about 3 weeks ago they asked me to make a video asking me to show them the issue. Once I did that, a couple of weeks goes by with no response and boom the issue has been fixed. 

I am HAPPY this has been fixed. I just wish we hadn't had to go through this long run around to get there when I was pretty specific right from the start. In the end, I do want to thank [DE]Nate and [DE]Tim for their support and sticking with it.

The lag inside my orbiter has ceased. Overall, the game in general, seems to be running smoother. We need more optimizations like this in the future.

  sounds more like u have a driver issue to me. a game usually has a certain GPU usage but warframe is certainly not one that shoud burn out ur GPU unless u reinstalled drivers over drivers and cause issues this way urself. speaking from past experience.

try a CLEAN driver reinstall of the latest ones maybe and see if that helps. not every issue is the game...

[Raiden01978]

I have the same iusse with the last Update no lags in the Orbiter but in Missions my Cpu goes from 60% down to 20% and the Gpu from 70% to 10% and then my Game is lagging in interval i have all things reistall Windows Warframe Grakka driver and nothing changed

If you play without an FPS cap, your GPU will operate unconstrained, working as hard as it can. It would only be underutilized if your CPU was bottlenecking your GPU.

if u play without v sync thats ur problem, but that usually will only cause tearing if ur screens frequency is too low unless ur GPU is cooled poorly and overheats due to that. that would result in more than just stuttering tho.

what u described sounds more like potential driver issues to me. ive seen lots of crap happen due to corrupted or driver install over driver over driver without ever caring about installing cleanly.

if u complain bout ingame issues but dont want to try at least a clean driver install i have to wonder....i mean u want to get it solved, right ? DE cant really tell u for sure if its ur drivers so at least make sure its not ur system. that would help a lot.

if u already tried this then nvm, i dont know what u tried already based on the lines i read from u.

good luck.

I`m encountering the same problem after the last few patches. The performance of the game is a lot worse than it used to be. The game was running just fine when Scarlet Spear was released. After the Hotfixes kicked in ,i litteraly can`t play the game anymore. Most of the time my FPS is in the range of 2-10, not only in the orbiter but also in the missions/loading screen. Sometimes it works fine,but after a while it drops from 60 to the same range of 2-3. Loading screens of 2-5 minutes. I`m running the game on the lowest settings.
Laptop configuration is as follows:

ASUS ROG GL552JX, i7-4720 (4core - 8 threads)  2.6GHz (3.6 with turbo boost), 16GB RAM, Nvidia GEFORCE GTX 950M (4GB)

Mention: Fresh Windows installation 4 days ago, every driver up to date and clean installs. Everything is set on performance mode

That looks more as an overheating laptop to me. Have you check temps, and your CPU/GPU clocks and usage when you get the FPS drop?
