lag in game and discord | Enshrouded | Page 1

Okay - so to recap the outside coversation for the thread:

The game should not be affecting discord in any way, and I suggested turning off discord overlay.
Also suggested downloading GPU-Z to keep an eye on your system resources while running the game to see if anything spikes.
This started around the time of the latest patch.

lag in game and discord

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 2:45 AM

#

Rad! Just to try and address the above:
The discord overlay is turned off for this game :)

I can download GPU-Z right now and check!

Yes :)

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 2:45 AM

#

Okay - So just to be clear this only happens while connecting to a server. Have you tried multiple servers, or just one specific one?

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 2:47 AM

#

Just one specific one :)

#

I can try a random public one now :)

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 2:47 AM

#

Would you please. 🙂

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 2:48 AM

#

Okay, tried a random public one- same issue alas

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 2:48 AM

#

okay - and the discord issue was happening as well? and it does not happen in single player at all?

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 2:49 AM

#

The discord issue was happening as well, unfortunately- and I just tried a single player world now, and discord's fine when in a single player world

#

Sorry, that's unclear on my part:
When trying a different multiplayer world, I had the same discord latency

When trying a single player world, I did not :)

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 2:52 AM

#

Okay. So the only thing I can think of that would affect discord and your game is if, somehow, your data is getting bottlenecked somewhere. Enshrouded does send a lot more data back and forth than games like Wow and Elden-Ring.

#

A speed test might give you some information if the speed isn't being throttled by your ISP (some ISP's let speed tests through while still throttling streaming and games)

#

If your system itself isn't having issues with running the game, or spiking or peaking when running the game (check in multiplayer too), I would check the speed to see if anything obvious pops up - after that I would probably power cycle your router/moden just to be safe.

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 2:57 AM

#

So, okay, interesting thing to note- enshrouded appears to be running my GPU up to 98 percent or so- but I have an RTX 4060

#

I don't think it should be doing that

#

It also doesn't seem to be doing that for people I know who have less intense GPUs

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 2:58 AM

#

full use of a GPU running a game isn't abnormal.

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 2:58 AM

#

Do you think that this might be related in any way to the Discord troubles?

#

I'm sorry; I'm kiiinda fumbling in the dark here LOL

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:00 AM

#

probably not. My GPU runs at close to 100% while the game is up too. It's not abnormal, it just means it's being fully utilized.

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:01 AM

#

Iiiinteresting- okay, just for funsies, imma try an uninstall and reinstall

#

Gimme a minute or two here :)

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:02 AM

#

As I said, the game doesn't directly impact discord in any way, and discord lagging is usually due to connection issues, not GPU issues

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:03 AM

#

See, that's odd, because I'm already at roughly 3 gigs downloaded

#

So I can't imagine it's the internet no?

#

Sorry, 5 gigs

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:03 AM

#

what is the upload?

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:05 AM

#

this is what I've got right now while downloading enshrouded

#

this is also what it roughly was a week ago so far as I know when it was working fine

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:08 AM

#

Well let's see what reinstalling does. I can't imagine anything in the game affecting discord though. Only if your system or network resources were being jammed up somehow. I would also suggest restarting your computer.

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:12 AM

#

No dice, unfortunately- it was better for about 10-15 seconds and then choked up again

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:12 AM

#

Also you said you have an RTX 4060, what is your CPU and how much ram do you have?

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:13 AM

#

It'd be really weird if it were my system specs because this was working fine a week ago

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:15 AM

#

There were changes made to the game a week ago that also caused people with specs below minimum to start crashing where they were able to play before because of more stuff being added to the game. While I don't think those two are related, as the game develops it does get bigger and requires more from the system.

#

I am seeing that you only have 16g of ram. What does it say in GPU-Z under "System memory used" when you are having the issues?

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:20 AM

#

#

There we go!

#

Sorry about that; GPU-Z has its own camera function which apparently overrides the Windows default function LOL

#

Took me a sec to finaegle it :D

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:21 AM

#

yeah - it yells at me every time I use the snippit tool xD

#

Okay so this is when you are currently having the issue with both discord and the game?

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:23 AM

#

Yep! I had Discord and Enshrouded booted up and had just freshly booted GPU-Z

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:24 AM

#

okay - it's using quite a bit of your RAM but not all of it. It's leaving enough that there shouldn't be issues - at least with ram being the cause.

little sequoia Nov 30, 2024, 3:26 AM

#

Same issue i'm having for sure. Just to add, I am on a 4070, 32gb ram

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:26 AM

#

Weeeeird O.o

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:27 AM

#

So we have teamspeak, disord and game involvement then.

little sequoia Nov 30, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

Just had a friend join my server and seems to be fine, but can't join his.

edit: I lied, server was super laggy when he joined me.

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

Can you both do me a favor and right-click on your windows taskbar and bring up Task Manager - while you are having the issue - and click on "ethernet" and take a screenshot, and also take a screenshot once you have closed the game?

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:33 AM

#

Can do- one sec :)

#

#

I used MS Paint to remove some info so I don't doxx myself LMAO

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:38 AM

#

meager temple

The amount of data being sent and recieved appears to be normal.

#

HOWEVER

#

You are on a wifi - Are you able to connect pysically to the network and tell me if the issue persists?

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:40 AM

#

I don't think I have an ethernet cable handy unfortunately- let me see

quartz bridge Nov 30, 2024, 3:44 AM

#

that about the only thing I can think of at this point. Try a wired connection... if that is ok... you may have too much stuff on your wifi setup and it could be causing delays when a lot is going on... best I can think of

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

Okay, found one- no dice; even plugged into the rotuer directly, I've got the same problem

#

*router

quartz bridge Nov 30, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

damn

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:47 AM

#

okay, so this is interesting

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:47 AM

#

quartz bridge damn

I don't like it when you say "damn" lol

little sequoia Nov 30, 2024, 3:47 AM

#

I restarted my router and now these are shwoing - it was not showing usage before I restarted router though...

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:47 AM

#

turning on the 'limit FPS in background' option actually causes discord to behave when the game is minimized

#

how can i cap my frames when the game is in the foreground

little sequoia Nov 30, 2024, 3:48 AM

#

That is without the game open. So I have something going on I believe unrelated to Enshrouded...

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:48 AM

#

oh oop hm maybe not

quartz bridge Nov 30, 2024, 3:48 AM

#

you guys using nvidia broadcast or something? anything that uses RT cores gets destroyed when in a high usage game, I have seen

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:49 AM

#

little sequoia That is without the game open. So I have something going on I believe unrelated ...

That is a lot of send and recieve for the game not being open. like... a lot.

#

well send

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:49 AM

#

i'm not broadcasting anything at the moment so far as I'm aware

quartz bridge Nov 30, 2024, 3:50 AM

#

not for broadcasting... for noise reduction. some of the times I have seen the noise filter software go crazy.

little sequoia Nov 30, 2024, 3:51 AM

#

I am using the Steelseries software

quartz bridge Nov 30, 2024, 3:51 AM

#

there are certain games, that when I play them with voice chat on, and have noise reduction on, all the sudden my friends and I start sounding like robots when things go crazy in the game.

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:52 AM

#

little sequoia That is without the game open. So I have something going on I believe unrelated ...

Just out of curiosity - has your computer already downloaded/run a windows update in the past week or so?

quartz bridge Nov 30, 2024, 3:52 AM

#

usually pinned down to that software, cause it's also trying to use features of the video card to do the noise reduction

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:52 AM

#

well, it's odd- i'm not really doing much in the game; just jumping around in a fairly humble village base

#

and i'm seeing the discord like latency broadcast symbol jumping around from green to red

little sequoia Nov 30, 2024, 3:53 AM

I apparently have one available, but it still says "download and install" so I don't think its doing anything

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

i'm all up to date except for a windows defender update

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

And does it still look like that right now, or did it stop shortly after rebooting?

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

i just grabbed it now

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:55 AM

#

I think we might have two separate issue with a similar symptom here.

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 3:56 AM

#

possibly!

quartz bridge Nov 30, 2024, 3:56 AM

#

yeah that one is weird...

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:56 AM

#

With @little sequoia - something is eating up his bandwidth something terrible.

little sequoia Nov 30, 2024, 3:57 AM

#

I am fixed now. Not really sure what I did other than restart router, and let whatever that download was finish

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:57 AM

You are able to load and play without issue to teamspeak or the game now?

little sequoia Nov 30, 2024, 3:58 AM

#

I ran malwarebytes and it came back clean.

#

Yep, loaded in normally and no lag on voice or anything.

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

little sequoia I ran malwarebytes and it came back clean.

I would keep and eye on your network usage over the next few days just to be sure there isn't something going on - especially since we have no idea what that was. but I am glad it's working now 😄

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

meager temple possibly!

so with you lol...

#

Network usage looks good - did I see you say connecting via ethernet did not fix the issue?

little sequoia Nov 30, 2024, 4:00 AM

#

Yeah, agreed. I don't torrent or anything so i'm not sure... Thanks y'all

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 4:01 AM

#

neon tiger Network usage looks good - did I see you say connecting via ethernet did not fix...

Yeah, unfortunately so- didn't fix it :(

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 4:02 AM

#

meager temple Yeah, unfortunately so- didn't fix it :(

and did you already try to power-cycle your router?

#

Also - are you the only one currently using your internet?

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 4:07 AM

#

One other person's using it, but not for anything too intense- especially given the up/down speed

#

I tried restarting the router last time, but no dice

#

Er, last time I had this issue

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 4:07 AM

#

have you had periods of time where this doesn't happen?

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 4:11 AM

#

Not in the last two sessions, unfortunately

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 4:11 AM

#

but since it started a week or so ago?

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 4:12 AM

#

Correct, yeah

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 4:15 AM

#

Sorry - I phrased that weird, 🤣 So you have had periods since the update where it works normally?

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 4:26 AM

#

Nope!

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 4:26 AM

#

Have you ever had the issue before the update?

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 4:27 AM

#

Never!

neon tiger Nov 30, 2024, 4:32 AM

#

meager temple Never!

Yeah this one is beyond me. it's acting just like there is bog in your network or on your system somewhere, but I can't seem to find out where on your system. The only thing I can think of is the other systems and devices on your network might be bogging it down with something.

meager temple Nov 30, 2024, 4:41 AM
