Fps Drops bad

[InsaneHURRICANE]

A new update dropped today December  10 2020 and I can barely stand to look at my screen.

My screen is skipping like crazy whenever  i move or turn my view!

I made sure everything  is up to date on PC and checked my Task Manager. PLEASE HELP Digital Extremes!

I can't play like this!

They made a change to the auto vsync setting. On my system it's causing really bad stuttering. Try changing the vsync setting to "on" or "off".

Hopefully DE sees this and addresses it.

Thanks so much for the tip, turning it to On worked!

Hi Starlabs007, can you please tell us your system specs? Thanks!

GPU: ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1080 Ti DirectX 12 STRIX-GTX1080TI-O11G-GAMING
Monitor: Asus ROG PG348Q 34-Inch Ultra-wide (GSync)

I run the game at 3440x1440; I have GSync enabled on the monitor and it usually runs at 100/99 fps fullscreen with no issues (lower fps on open worlds of course). Prior to this hotfix my vsync setting in-game was set at "auto". However after the hotfix I get stuttering: 100fps for one sec, 1fps for the next sec, repeat. Setting vsync to on fixed the issue for now.

 

Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks for looking into this!

If you open the NVIDIA Control Panel, click Manage 3D Settings, and next to the global settings for Monitor Technology, switch G-SYNC to Fixed Refresh, do you still experience the stuttering while Warframe's V-Sync is set to "auto"?

Interesting. Ok I tried it (basically disabling G-Sync and setting vsync back to auto as per your instructions) and I'm not encountering the stuttering issues.

So it looks like the auto vsync issue is G-Sync related, at least on my system.

Just an extra bit of information for DE's technical support: I started having the same problem after the last Arcana Update (December 10th), and I do have a high-end computer. I tried the Vertical Sync fix, and it worked. It was set to "AUTO", but now it is set to "ON". Didn't have to mess with the graphics card's options for this one.
