Any news on fixing the stuttering?

[tidal shuttle]

The game is basically unplayeable. It is a great game and I would love to keep playing but.... If every 10 seconds I stutter for 1-5 seconds and sometimes come back dead because the monsters dont stutter. It literally makes it impossible to enjoy. I also have a beast of a computer so this issue should not be happening.

[dire bison]

for me same

[trim coral]

It has become worse for me, my PC isn't bad at all (4090) and the stutterings are making the experience horrendous

[sour siren]

up

[trim coral]

I'd say that this is caused because the FPS are unlocked and they're too high, but not even that, I have them limited since the beta at 163 fps because my display is 165Hz... I doubt it's because of Gsync

[jade frost]

Same for me, it's impossible to play, in boss every stutter make me die

[sage beacon]

Yeah it seems to just get worse and worse. Not spending a cent on this until it's fixed, but it doesn't even seem to be a priority

[onyx kindle]

Up! Same issue here and i really hope it gets fixed asap. Game's hella fun

[onyx kindle]

this is what it looks like on my 4080 super

[deep gorge]

Also on a 4080s. Mine is worse than that, feels like it's been getting worse the longer I play. Sometimes freezes for 5+ seconds. Wish the devs could chime in at all on it

[queen pagoda]

Same issue

[merry coral]

glad im not the only one experiencing this

[tidal shuttle]

The recent maintenance almost completely fixed it guys. Thanks for the comments though. Great job devs!

[stoic cove]

Rageharder, I thought the same yesterday afternoon (that it got better with an update yesterday) but all afternoon today, but it's been back and it looked exactly like Mentor's and Skapi's, if not worse.

They're ping spikes, if you see each video provided, so it's server instability.

[fervent bane]

probably got more players than expected and the servers are struggling

[stoic cove]

They must have gotten servers off of Wish if 4400 players are having this kind of effect 🤣

[deep gorge]

mine look like this

good 6 seconds frozen

just took this video like 20 minutes ago

[fervent bane]

oh yeah, i thought it had higher player counts. Yeah the servers shouldn't be struggling from 4-6k players.

[stoic cove]

oh my lord 💀

For me, 2-4 sec hangups were excruciatingly common. one moment i'm getting ready to dodge Jory's missile that's about to connect, the next I'm at 1 HP from the lethal damage survive.

This needs to be made priority number 1.

Not appeasing people not getting characters or improving Twitch Drop rewards (that aren't even working.)

[onyx kindle]

uuuuuup

[tender fractal]

Yes we need a fix

[compact shadow]

Still lagging a lot

If this continues for too long, im going to stop playing this game... It's making me stressed out.

[tidal shuttle]

Yeah I was having some issues today as well.

[lament whale]

It's very sad to see such a promising game with these issues, after 30 hours of playing the game it really reaches a level where these crashes make it unplayable.

[stoic cove]

just for posterity/documentation. happened a few hrs ago and persisting at this time.

i've died way too many times to this today

[tidal shuttle]

Seems like the higher end gameplay is stuttering bad again. It’s not for as long as it was but still happening.

[stoic cove]

circa 3 min ago

lol

[sour siren]

its unplayable for me, too bad they say nothing about fixing it

[stoic cove]

@tame dragon @near cargo @sullen shoal

Just to put it on a moderator's radar. I know it's been talked about about plenty in General Chat but I'm not sure if y'all have seen the issue firsthand.

[tame dragon]

yes, we have provided multiple forms of evidence to the team, they are aware of the issue and are working on it

[deep gorge]

do you guys get the freezes in the lobby too? like when im trying to move modules around it will freeze even then or just afking in the lobby

[untold ibex]

Yup

[stoic cove]

Yep. All the time.

[nova dust]

I'm also having it. It is really rough, when you need to make split-second decisions and the game decides right then to freeze up/stutter.

[untold ibex]

Yeah, I was thinking getting the battlepass and buying some stuff. But I am holding off in buying anything until the stuttering is fixed. I am just getting frustrated every time the stutter happens when you are trying to do the perfect reloads and dodging.

[onyx kindle]

@tame dragon any news would be appreciated. We're waiting a potential fix to start playing harder cuz we all love this game 🫡

[tame dragon]

the team are aware of the issue, we know they are working on it, we have no updates yet though sorry

[onyx kindle]

dang it. I will wait patiently. Thanks for reaching fast

[lament whale]

yes, not so often, but yes

For those of you with Studdering Issues, tell developers and maybe they will create shaders for you guys that preload so you won't have studdering. Tech guy on board!

They can create a setting for you guys that will preload shaders instead of load them dynamically if your vRam can't handle this game. I am shocked though because my girlfriend on the game plays no studders and she has a 3060 and is probably running the game off her PCI-e 3.0 NVME and you know that she's probably limited to 10GB/s to 20GB/s but she manages to run the game like butter.

If the game is ram and CPU intensive, then maybe a PROFILE should be created in Windows 10/11 that turns off every unneeded Windows Service. Including Print Services and the LAN services if you don't have any other computer on the LAN, etc.

Bug Report: Unable to Accept/Decline

I'm experiencing a bug in the "Today's Referee" screen. I can't accept or decline the request; the buttons are unresponsive. The only way to exit is by pressing ALT-F4.

Bug Screenshot

[wooden urchin]

I seriously doubt it's a hardware issue, or at least not on my end. My PC doesn't even come close to reaching its limits.
No matter what else I play, MMOs like FF14 or WoW, ARPGs like PoE2 or Avowed, even Black Myth: Wukong, FPS games like STALKER 2, and even demanding titles like Microsoft Flight Simulator all run perfectly fine.

[lament whale]

I agree with you, there are people with new architecture hardware complaining, not just those with more basic configurations

However, I have to point out that I have a friend who plays with me and fits into this scenario, another friend with a 4080 plays with a 10-second crash while he plays smoothly with a 3060

[stoic cove]

it'll be a week since this post was created tommorrow.

this game is getting benched until they figure their lives out.

[lament whale]

Unfortunately, my friend and I gave up, I played until AC reached 40 with these Stuttering and lack of optimization, we will take advantage of the new BF6 with a more current Engine and which is in Beta, but it runs perfectly on our machines with more than 100 FPS in 2K

[deep gorge]

so I changed my DNS to Google DNS and so far I'm at least not getting the 5 second freezes. still get stutters but it's not nearly as bad.

[tranquil elbow]

Playing smoothly on a 7900 XTX without fake frame generation or any of that sorcery.

Meanwhile half the complaints here are from people using RTX cards with frame generation on max settings, wondering why their laptop’s turning into a microwave.

Maybe, just maybe, it’s time to stop expecting miracles from fake frames and start optimizing your actual setup.

You don’t need to “generate” frames if your GPU can naturally breathe. 😉

[tame dragon]

Evening, mates. The devs have this issue as their highest priority right now; we have been informed that there is a patch coming next week to address this issue. We understand your concerns and frustrations and hope this news offers some consolation.

[deep gorge]

this game doesn't have frame gen. i'm not even using DLSS. Just because RTX cards CAN do those things doesn't mean they always do.

rest assured we've all tried setting the graphics to low and all that jazz it doesn't help

[wooden urchin]

I'm not sure what part of "ping spikes" you didn’t understand, but FPS and latency are not the same thing. For the record, your latency has nothing to do with that. It doesn't matter if you're using an NVIDIA card or an AMD card.

[wooden urchin]

That's great news! Thanks for sharing. Let's hope for the best.

[wooden urchin]

not fixed

[tame dragon]

thank you, we will pass on the feedback immediately

[wooden urchin]

It’s a tiny bit better, but still awful.

[vast nimbus]

it has nothing to do with ur pc

its ping spikes goes from 90 to 800 then back to normal

yep its not fixed yet

[lament whale]

ignore it and just another aligned hardware fan boy who wants attention

[lament whale]

and I also feel that at least on some floors the freezing is smaller, but there is still a lot of freezing, but at longer intervals lasting less time than before, which was 10 seconds

[onyx kindle]

so no fix yet guys? 🙁

[onyx kindle]

i tried it and is the same as before for me

[lament whale]

unfortunately not :/

[jade frost]

I bought the Battle Pass and I can't play 😥

[celest wyvern]

Man my freezes are longer than 3 seconds now & happening every 2 mins

[celest wyvern]

Yes

[glossy gyro]

Hey guys! I'm using Epic version, does Steam version experiencing the same problem?

[wooden urchin]

[lament whale]

Yes, unfortunately

[lament whale]

I understand well, even though I finished mine, I wanted to finish the extra bonuses and finish the lv 50 floor, but this solo task with these locks is very difficult

[wooden urchin]

Please keep us informed if the developers provide any updates on the bug, such as the cause or an estimated time for a fix. Thank you in advance.

[onyx kindle]

cmon @tame dragon, get a fix!

[wintry ember]

good to know the Micro stuttering isn't just me 😄

[onyx kindle]

everybody is suffering and honestly i don't know how people are playing. Last time i joined i died for it and almost smashed the desk

[wintry ember]

I just play gloria so lag doesn't effect me to much

[sage beacon]

end of service any% world record attempts

[fading geode]

Yup... still waiting for it to be fixed, but at same time... I dont think it will.

[rancid lion]

Feels like it's getting worse instead of better at times, I got off after 8 hours since the stuttering was happening every 30 seconds or so for me. Crazy that you can play a game with a 5080 and feel like you're playing with a gtx 260.

Games going to die before this problem is fixed at this rate.

[wooden urchin]

It’s not an FPS issue, it’s connection related. Just watch your ping spikes. And correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure my GPU has nothing to do with my internet connection. But yeah, I get it, it’s getting pretty frustrating and I’m starting to think I should just quit the game since nothing seems to be happening.

[chrome viper]

I also noticed that a freeze also appeared with a rise in ping when I pressed the button to activate the microphone

[vast nimbus]

ye just ignore the game for now till its fixed

[untold ibex]

Certain now it's how your ISP is connected to their servers.

I stayed for 1 week on my brothers house and I bought my PC there and played. I didn't get any stutters and it was smooth. When I got back this week in our house I experienced the stutters again.

Not sure what is causing it in the connection but it's weird because my ISP is faster than my brother's

[rancid lion]

I never said it was an "FPS" issue, I just stated what it feels like and it's not connection related for me, while playing I'm constantly between 50-60ms

[untold ibex]

I just noticed whenever I get stutters the Ping spikes to 400ms for just a sec then goes back to 40ms. I know it's weird to get stutters due to connection but that's what I noticed.

And it didn't get any stutters when I was connected to a different ISP.

[craggy mango]

that is correct and I believe everybody who experiences stuttering issues has that same problem you described with ping spikes. Maybe some haven't realized it yet.
I was hoping that patch the other week would address this but nah. I'm not touching the game until it's fixed.

[open raptor]

Yep they’re losing a ton of players by not making this their top priority and having emergency hot fixes. It seems obvious it’s a memory issue so I’m not really sure what they’re working on. Me and my friends had high hopes for the game and it is really fun but we’ve since uninstalled because of the stuttering

[rancid lion]

To busy working on their Gamescom booth instead of fixing their cash grab that's had this issue apparently since beta.

Going to advertise the game there only for people to play and quit because of this very issue.

[open raptor]

I think you’re probably right 😩

[rancid lion]

The game has potential, but they don't got their priorities straight. This should of been fixed before launch.

[untold ibex]

Soooo... I think I fixed my stutterings. Not sure if this is gonna work to others tho. When I figured that the connection with my ISP is the problem I tried looking through things I can change in my connection.

Previously my DNS is set to Google (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4). I then removed it and set at to automatic, now I don't get stutters.
If you already have it at auto, try manually setting your DNS to other free DNS' maybe it will work. Oh and flush your DNS as well

Again this fixed my stuttering but it might not fix yours but worth a try as I don't get stutters in my runs anymore. Still weird that connection problems causes constant stuttering.

[vast nimbus]

Oh ill try, i remember setting it to 8.8.8.8 last time for some other game

[onyx kindle]

ive seen there is a new patch today. Did it get a fix?

nope it didnt

[untold ibex]

Did it work for you or nah? 😅

[craggy mango]

I tried CloudFlare, Google, and Quad9 DNS yesterday after seeing your message. I was so excited because this stuff did seem to influence the stuttering. One of them worked really well for me and even though it didn't remove 100% of the issue, it made it 10 times less frequent, and when it did happen, the frozen frames duration was like 0.5 sec instead of 1-2 sec, which I can live with.
However, for some reason after cycling through all the DNS and finally settling on one, the second time around I had stutters again.
In any case, ChatGPT seems to like your theory:

[untold ibex]

Glad it could help a little, hopefully it can help others as well as I know it will not 100% fix others like for me as I do think ISP connection contributes to this as well.

My stutters went away for me which is a totally game changer for me as I was already used to the stutter ever since I started playing

😅

[tulip brook]

this is unbelivable u shuldnt have to change anythink for game to work properly

[craggy mango]

I completely agree but we're way past the point of hope, it's clear the devs won't fix it anytime soon so we have to do what we can to make it better, as sad as that is.

[onyx kindle]

Would be easier if they were clear about it. Last time we got in touch with a moderator he said they were working on it on the last patch they released.
Well, that was a lie.
I would appreciate to have info on what is going on, if they're able to fix it or not or if they're even trying

[lament whale]

Could you help us with this topic? Do you have any feedback? @tame dragon you had mentioned that the team was working on a fix

[craggy mango]

I've done another round of testing and I can now safely say your DNS idea has 100% improved the experience dramatically. When I use my ISP's DNS or the Google DNS, it's unplayable. When I use CloudFlare, even though not perfect, it's so subtle you almost forget about it.

Would you like to make a reddit post about it? or do you want me to do it and credit you?
I think we should also make a guide on how to change DNS settings as most people won't have any idea.

[rancid lion]

Guys got me tempted to try changing my DNS but fortunately for me, all I had to do was remove my Google DNS and use auto. Shouldn't have to do this but it's a compromise I can make.

[untold ibex]

You can go ahead and post as I really am not a person who usually post stuff 😅 No need to credit as well, glad I could help.

[untold ibex]

Yup that's what I did as well, just removed the google DNS and set to auto (Which was fine for everything but for this game )

[rancid lion]

Same here, just this game weirdly wasn't working correctly.

[tame dragon]

we don't have any updates at this time, only that they are working on it

[rancid lion]

Funny how they had a booth at Gamescom to advertise a game 90% of people who might try it will quit due to the stuttering they haven't fixed since beta.

[tame dragon]

I feel your frustration, I am one of those players too

[rancid lion]

Good to know we're not alone.
I seen them yesterday advertise for a new cosmetic and first thing that came to my mind is why would I play the gacha to try and get it for a game that is having trouble holding a 1,000 player minimum.

[stoic cove]

damn ain't no way this is still going on 3 weeks later

im out here updating the game and decided to check for the good news that it's been addressed and.... seems like nothing's changed but they've certainly added more monetization.

[onyx kindle]

i'm not opening it until is fixed :3

[final ocean]

ive already stopped playing this stutter brigade game, i have gotten help from many different mods/devs and the stuter is not fixed, they said it was fixed like 2 updates ago but thats cap

[craggy mango]

Change your DNS, guys. It's the only thing that fixes it.

[glossy spire]

100% doesnt matter "higher end" or not, level 7 of CA does this lol

[glossy gyro]

I use NordVPN to Singapore, with SEA server. This way, the game runs without stutter. However, there is no chat at all, so I can only solo everything. With non-VPN connection, the game would stutter as always, but chat would appear and I can team up. This will be the last time I played this game. Good bye

And good luck for those of you who're still giving this game a chance

[tulip brook]

bruh

improved not even solved

[onyx kindle]

GGs, time to uninstall!

[glossy spire]

I know this is all the way in september, and then they delete my messages about my criticism to silence me lmao. this company is a joke dude

[glossy spire]

it isnt, they dont give a rats behind, they only care about taking your money since they put their heart and soul in to a free game lol. just the way business is

Wow i got 100's of responses, I will keep everyone updated, however....i dont blame you for uninstalling. im pissed i even donated them $10 for a battle pass i cannot even complete

[gray helm]

This is obvious, but if they have a fix, they should release it immediately rather than waiting a month. They want to stop the bleeding in terms of the review score and playerbase as soon as humanly possible

[tulip brook]

looks good

[thorny sierra]

Deserved, its like they dont care and just want to release new things exept fix the games, witch is what we only wants for now

[gray helm]

Well, I just played a match in Season 1 and I didn't have any stuttering during battle, though I did get semi-frequent stuttering the moment battle ended (when it's grabbing all the coins) and occasionally right when a battle started. These clearly aren't nearly as disruptive though

[tulip brook]

14 mins 14 stutters

bad aftertaste from S0 is pretty stong

[gray helm]

Okay, so yeah, it's definitely not fixed, although I would say I'm probably getting somewhat less I did have it happen a few times in my last few runs.

[open raptor]

fixed the stuttering issue

[naive thistle]

Any update on this? Given the new update

[distant light]

I dont know if this was mentioned here and I dont know to how many it applies but I started s0 on Windows 10 and the stuttering issues were pretty vile.
Later on just before s1 started due to some issues I had with my laptop I had to upgrade to Windows 11 since I was lazy to do it before,and after I did the starting 2 cinematics stopped stuttering and the Lobby and all the Event Tabs and whatever started responding with fluid FPS as if it was a different game so now I dont have that many issues except when I push it playing heavy builds that generate a lot of things on the screen.
Hope this helps some.
My laptop stats are Intel Core i7 7700HQ,16 GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 4 GB

[gray helm]

It's actually insane that this remains unfixed. This is the primary issue which is killing the game, and the lack of response from the developers makes the game seem abandoned. No one will invest into a game that they think the developer has abandoned. This game literally will never be viable until this issue is fixed completely.

[strong oxide]

honestly hard to see people playing the game these days

i was even desperate to check on lfg channel just so i can assist newbies for MVP weeklies, unfortunately, even the channel isnt active due to this stutter

idk what they did but this was never an issue during beta tests.
