Chewbacca/Wookiee Warriors Drop Framerate When on Screen

Hey @RvanJ

Could you post your full DxDiag report? We might need more information about your hardware to help you out.

Thanks!

Hey Ataashi,

Thanks for your reply! I can absolutely do that. My DxDiag report is attached to this reply.

Hey folks, I know this is quite an old thread, but I just bought the game recently on steam, and I notice I'm having this same exact issue. Specifically whenever there's a wookiee character on screen, my framerate drops probably >60%.  I can tell because if I'm in the character select screen and I select either chewbacca or the wookiee warrior it does so, even without the level loaded in the background.  I attached my DxDiag.txt if it helps!

Despite knowing this is a very old report, I've endured this issue since Day 1. I just never reported it because my PC is below minimum specs, so it can be blamed.

So despite the necro I'm here to confirm this is indeed something unchanged since day 1 (or at least since they changed the chewbacca/wookiee models).

That's weird though. I have this issue in the Selection Screen, in the Podium Screen, and in the Collection Menu. But ingame when either playing with them, or facing them in battle, the framerate isn't affected. I play with every setting on Low, and my PC Specs are below minimum for this game (especially the GPU which is far below the minimum).

About that texture filtering option, I'm not sure what you're referring to. There are 4 sliders in the visual settings: Brightness, Field of View, Motion Blur, and Resolution Scale. Which is the one you call texture filtering? I guess Brightness makes no difference at all, Motion Blur I have in 0 and I probably always have, so I've no idea if it affects FPS. But both Field of View and Resolution Scale do interfere, and a lower value is always better for your frame rate. However I'd recommend changing other settings before messing with these 2.

Hey guys, I am sorry for thel reply, but the only way to remove this frame rate drop, would be to buy a new, more powerful graphics card, or lower video/graphics  noticeably. The reason this happens, is likely because of a low amount of vram in your pc, since the game requires ATLEAST 2gb of vram, to run the game decently, and by decently i mean between 30-60fps. I have the GTX 770 2gb on my pc, and I am about to upgrade to a newer one.

Thanks for reading.

@Akuzawaizu thanks for the info, but I can assure you it isn't necessarily tied to VRAM. I have 4 GBs of VRAM and it isn't anywhere near 100% usage at any time while playing the game. My GPU processing OTOH is almost always at 100%, so that might explain this lag to me. Nonetheless my case is understandable as I use a GPU which is below minimum requirements, like I said previously. But it shouldn't be happening in the way @Jan_Atreides is experiencing, with hardware that is capable of handling this game properly.
