C-Core Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Now, I took a bit of a break from the game, and I come back to extremely bad freezing and stuttering when I log in and try to load in my Orbiter Assets, I didn't think toooo much of it, but it was a bit weird. I get into a mission and the stutter comes back, completely unplayable for the first 10-20 seconds. This happens every single time I load into something. This issue is only isolated to warframe. The only other game that does anything close to this is Overwatch, but that game sorts itself out within a minute or so, and then is fine for the rest of my play session. I would also like to say that my PC is not low end, and is only a few months old, so I can pretty much rule out any hardware issues. I've tried running the game without any background processes whatsoever, no change. Minimum graphics settings, no change. Fullscreen or Borderless, no change. Different direct X versions, no change. Verified and optimised game files, and reinstalled warframe on each of my SSD's, and the stuttering persists on both. All my drivers, windows and everything are up to date, so I literally have no clue what the issue could be. It looks like the game is struggling to load stuff in, but it makes no sense since I'm running it on an SSD, and other, more intensive games like AC Valhalla, or Horizon Zero dawn run smooth as butter with no lagspikes at all. The lagspikes persist regardless of my playsession. I could load into the orbiter once for example, go into a mission, come back, and would still experience these massive stuttering issues.

--MEG-- Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 They disabled Asset caching, I don't know why. almost all threads in performance section are talking about the cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Core Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 Quote 1 hour ago, --Q--MEG said: They disabled Asset caching, I don't know why. almost all threads in performance section are talking about the cache I was going to mention this. If you've ever used an emulator like cemu, the game has to cache effects and textures into your shader cache. This means that when you first perform an action, the game will freeze, because it's saving that specific effect or animation into the shader cache. After you've performed this action, or seen the effect, you won't get a stutter the next time it happens. However, in warframe, it's the opposite. It seems to happen every time you go into a new mission and just simply load something. The game seems to act like it's never seen it before, and the stuttering that I experience is very similar to that which I've seen on emulators like cemu. That being said though, on Warframe, it doesn't seem to be as bad when it comes to ability effects, but loading in maps, and small objects/enemies seems to cause massive lagspikes.

Reddcup Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Thank you! Was having this issue and was driving me crazy! Specs: i9-10900 RTX 3080 36GB 3600 RAM SSD storage Just couldn't figure out why I was stuttering every single map! First 15-20 seconds I have these massive lag spikes, then the game runs beautifully. I'll just drop the settings down real low until they patch it I guess. UPDATE: Looks like lower settings still doesn't fix the problem... shucks.

digibluez Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 that is so stuupid, why even have loading screens if they still load assets right at the start of mission, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phidy Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Just leaving a boop here, having the same problem. Hopefully this gains the popularity it needs for DE to look into this. System Specs: RTX 2070 R5 3600x 16GB - 3200MHz Installed on 850 Evo Tested at HD/4k 60Hz and QHD 144/165/170Hz - Settings Low/Medium/High and my Custom Settings. Nvidia Settings are set to maximum performance and I can't make out anything significant in MSI Afterburner (like dipping Voltages etc) logs have some "Could not use Texture" Errors but they don't seem to be connected to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phidy Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Leaving a new Reply for easier visability: I found a fix! This probably has something to do with newer Nvidia Drivers. To reduce the stuttering turn off Shadercache in the Nvidia System Settings. You'll find this option under 3D-Settings -> Program Settings (select Warframe (warframe.x64.exe) in the dropdown menu) and scroll down to Shadercache and set it to Off. To nearly completely remove the stuttering you have to uninstall the current graphics driver and install an older one. The version that works for me is 442.74. Remember to only download the drivers from nvidias own website, since there is probably a lot of malware on other sites. I hope this gets fixed in the future.

SerinVeya Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 [ EDIT - Phidy got it spot-on! I switched over to 442.74, and Warframe and the other two games suffering from this problem are stable! If anyone else is having this problem, I'd recommend joining me in raising it to Nvidia support so they can get this fixed ASAP! ] Also bumping for visibility, since this problem has been driving me insane too. I'm just waiting for the 442.74 drivers to install, as per Phidy's recommendation. I'll check back once I get to test this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephane Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Same issue, I thought I was going crazy. Ryzen 3700X, RTX 3080, 32 GB RAM, game installed on SSD, latest drivers - everything was butter smooth at all times until one of the recent Warframe updates, can't say which one exactly.
