I wouldn't post here except the help page doesn't let you report game performance issues! If you click it it takes you to the online connection support page.
Anyway I'm experiencing unacceptable performance (seen as low as 25fps and giant hitches, and I'm not talking the usual Unreal title 60ms bumps here and there).
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12 Core
32GB RAM
RTX 3080Ti
None of the graphics settings seem to make a difference; it appears to CPU bound except I never see >20% CPU utilization. Unreal is a very old school engine dependent on a primary game thread but this is insane.
Is tick code running in blueprint? Are animations not on the fast path? Is the character movement not threaded?
As for the hitches, whilst the game spends a lot of time pre-building for your GPU before starting I have to assume it's not caching all PSOs.
This is the choppiest experience I've ever had, at framerates that haven't been acceptable for two decades. I foolishly subscribed to EA Play Pro for this; is there a timeline for resolving these issues or should I just cancel now?
im on 3800x rx6800, game runs smoothly, but i have 16GB vram and this game on 1440p epic eats around 10-12GB...but if you move too fast, it will go up quickly, it will take more and more, garbage collector seems to be slow or waiting for something...but if you get idle for a min, it will free it up
performance loss you see is from changing graphic settings on fly, its bugged, if you change settings like ray tracing on and off, fps gets tanked, restart game and it should be back to normal
other than that, disable SMT in bios
shader compiling takes only few seconds, could be your gpu drivers having some issue with compiling
VRAM isn't the issue, any resolution, any performance setting gives the same performance.
Shader compiling only takes a few seconds; I think that's the issue as it's clearly not caching everything and doing stutters on the fly.
I got some performance back by overclocking, but still only averaging 45fps - GSync helps make that bearable. If you're seeing more than that count yourself lucky. If you find that to be smooth, also count yourself lucky 🙂
Thanks for the suggestion of disabling SMT; it's not an ideal option as a lot of my development software is configured for the logical core count does it make a significant difference?
dont change graphic settings on fly, game is missing popup with "game needs to be restarted"
if you change settings, reload game (exit game/open game)
