Update 12.x - Drastic Drop In Performance

[HideorEscape]

Try disabling the new feature called HUD Motion.

Try to play the game in a lower/smaller resolution.

 

Note: The Earth tile set lags.Don't play on that tile set too much, wait until they improve the tile set to make it more stable and less laggy. This type of problem already happened before, it was on the Phobos tile set.

It was in a different thread, but DERebecca commented and said DE is aware of the problem, some of their computers are experiencing this issue, and they are actively searching for the cause and a fix for it.  Just thought I'd mention it here.

Thanks for info!

Just jumping in! Had fantastic performance until some recent patch. Now I get stutter and lower FPS. It's fine in most missions, but the void missions hit me hard.

[Padawelts]

I get low fps on first joining a mission then small hang ups through out it after U12

[dancingknight]

I just want to let everyone know that hotfix 12.1.2 has fixed the performance issues I was experiencing. Big thank you to DE for the excellent work. 

[Ezren]

My computer is certainly working harder since the patch. Hopefully a fix comes around soon.

Any of you guys check to see if your video card is downclocking when in a mission? Mine has been going from 1202 down to 833 and I get stuttering/jitters and the gameplay does not feel smooth then.

I actually haven't been able to play the game since this update 12.x update that much because it's pretty much broken for me now. The stuttering is always happening and the framerate drops are noticeable.

[MaksyWF]

Yes same problems,I want to know how to solve,and when it comes out an update that will fix this nightmare...all people complains about this!they are doing something?read what we write????

[OneHourLate]

I have a pretty cruddy laptop, but it still runs most, if not all games with a solid 30-40fps with an occasional stutter here and there *nothing to rage about*. I could run this game with max settings and still get a solid 30 fps. 

 

But since update 10, and the updates that followed. my frames have dropped drastically. Constant, and random, frame drops on all planets and with update 12 I can barely play at all.  I did an alert mission today and I got 2-9fps the whole time *with everyting off and lowest settings.*  Launcher settings have no effect *besides the multicore setting.* 

 

The strange part is that i am not lagging. My connection is fine as my attacks connect every time *according to my friends* It is only my frames that are takeing a hit. 

 

I do run this game through steam. I wonder if that effects it at all?  *steam overlay is disabled*

I didn't notice any sudden performance drops until the most recent hotfix, and now it seems like I'm having the same problem people are mentioning in this thread. I'm going to try the verify/defrag tactic and see if that helps.

This engine performance wise as become pure S#&$ since U11.5.

don't worry guys and gals...DE is aware of the problem and will soon throw you a new weapon or warframe hoping you'll forget about the problems

[RoyMathewson]

The patch came out and didn't help. Still getting S#&$ty performance.  I've been messaging Steve and he is aware. Hope they can resolve this soon.

[041.Vento]

Before update 12.x : 45/60 FPS (all settings on except DOF, Blur and PhysX, and quality settings on NVIDIA Control Panel)

After update 12.x : 25/45 FPS (all settings off, and performance settings on NVIDIA Control Panel)

[FableTale]

So anyone knows why this happens in the first place? I just want some basic info.

[valkrein]

a normal alt tabbing from desktop to any full screen game client only requires 1-3 flickers.

 

my notebook screen flickers 4-5 times every time i do alt tabbing which means something's wrong with the warframe client.

 

 

the WEIRD thing is,

 

sometimes after a patch (a few months ago) it returned back to normal, now it's on the something-wrong-with-warframe-client patch again.

i guess DE are tinkering with the graphic. hopefully they will fix this soon
 

[SonicSonedit]

It got better after U12.2+U12.2.1 I think.

Hi all,

 

 

new update, new problems :(

 

now I have only 12-17 fps on some ambient I have 24-30 fps

 

Fix this serious problem, some graphics options not working on menu.

 

Thanks.

[RoyMathewson]

Yeah I've been having issues as well. I've talked to Steve and they are aware of the issues.  Hopefuly it gets fixed for Melee 2,0 :/

[OWJeht]

same issue here too, fps half some times and sometimes make it unplayable, i've tried everything my end and only soution is to use another pc which is not a solution atall tbh.

 

weirdly though, using an AMD graphics card, see other ppl using nvidia with same issue so thats weird.

[Bombazen]

Stuttering, frame drops and ocasional freezes are always happening to me now, only in this game, i play many other games that are supposed to be heavyer with nothing like this.

In fact the game runs a little better to me when i max out all settings, with lower setting its just unplayable.

DE must focus in this issue ASAP, many of my friends allready stopped playing this game because of this issues.

Here is what I did to fix it. Click start, type in msconfig and open msconfig.exe and click the check box to hide all microsoft services and then disable all non-essential services excluding NVIDIA services. 

 

In my testing, the service that was causing the issues for me was Steam Client Service.

Really? You suggest to turn off Steam? I rather turn off Warframe.

I don't have Warframe installed via steam. It did mess with my Warframe from testing the services. All the time I spent troubleshooting, I should bill DE.
