tldr; ill play for about an hour beginning at 160fps and end up having to restart the game when it just goes to 40 fps after about an hour.

FPS drops overtime no matter what.

Unfortunetly not yet

has the support responded to you yet? @true cypress

Hello there, @true cypress 🙂
I got a few questions:
Have you followed how the Ram usage is actually going from beginning to the end?
Are you using other programs that might be gobbling up the resources or you checked that the resources are all going to DL2?

Are you on windows 10?
Did you already set your DL2 launch command on Steam to "/verbose" and sent the log to support?

You mentioned that you have no mods already. Did you ever have mods and if you modified any of the files, did you try to uninstall + delete all remaining files in the game's steam folder manually, and reinstall?

true cypress
#

no mods, no modifications, no tools or big softwares running.

reinstalled the game probably 20 times by now

Did you already set your DL2 launch command on Steam to "/verbose" and sent the log to support?

sounds good

fleet solar
#

The best way to get quicker answer from support is to mention the things you already know that will be asked.

First question that you don't need to wait to answer is if you ever used any mods (as they cause a lot of issues, since they are not supported etc) This page is a good guide for that

#

if you will update your ticket or create a new one, please do everything on this page. Because for such an issue as yours, all this info is necessary.
It is something that needs to be investigated delicately. So, saying there is a memory leak does not help in any way, unfortunately.

true cypress
fleet solar
#

ok, just please remember that for verbose to be useful, you'd need to start the game, play until you have the issue, so till it goes down from 160fps to 40fps.
Also if you'd have a gpu-z log attached, that would likely help a lot.

#

I undertsnd that you may be frustrated with the result that you paid for the game and you can't play it as you like, but we'll try to get it fixed, if you could help us find what the problem is

Please with support:)

22gb, +1 gb in like 40 seconds

fleet solar
#

What..

true cypress
true cypress
#

23.4

#

24.4gb

#

25gb - just fell to under 90 fps

#

28Gb now

#

55fps now

#

35 fps - unplayable now. ending gameplay

#

Everything sent to support

fleet solar
#

Just out of pure curiosity, I will check my ram usage

#

which part of the map were you in?
Old Villedor or central loop?

true cypress
#

Old Villedor

true cypress
fleet solar
#

So I have RTX on with no upscaler
and ram usage is 6.3gb

#

so starting up with 16-20 gb is already very strange

true cypress
#

ill see about putting it to no upscale

fleet solar
#

it wil probably make it worse to disable the upscaler (or maybe won't change)

true cypress
#

hmm

fleet solar
#

for me it only increased the FPS
I usually play with upscaler DLSS and sometimes FSR 2
I just disabled it to get a worse RAM usage, but it didn't make a difference

#

I am lost as to why you'd start with 16gb
That log will hopefully be useful for finding the issue. Thank you for adding it

true cypress
#

yea usually i have dlss on - we'll see with support what they find in the logs

fleet solar
#

Was it windows 10?

true cypress
#

W11

fleet solar
#

oh..

true cypress
#

might be different haha

fleet solar
#

might also be the cause 😮

#

I wouldn't wanna speculate, though

true cypress
#

meh well if that is the case - whens the fix techland haha

fleet solar

Not sure if memory leak (I need to monitor myself) but since the update, I have noticed FPS slowly dropping over time as well, even though cpu and gpu temps are normal. Had the same issue at launch but was fixed at some point. I'm on win 10 2H22, will do proper monitoring and report back later tonight (I'm east coast NA).

true cypress
# fleet solar 😄

tech support reached out after 5 days and dxdiag etc was submitted, asking the same question: if i use mods?

gonna wait another 5 days i guess

potent cargo
#

Played for a few hours last night and can't say for sure FPS dropped over time. Maybe the ~250MB patch a few days ago fixed the issue for my PC. RAM usage started at ~6.4GB but never went over ~7.7GB.

true cypress
#

tech support emails me AFTER i sent them all the logs and dxdiag

robot message telling me to do what i just did for them.

#

were now on day 8

#

@fleet solar tech support is lacking hard.

fleet solar
#

If you already didn't please answer to this last message that you already did this and maybe add the same files again, just to not lose further time. But the issue is also being investigated separately.

true cypress
fleet solar
#

yes, the save file is a good idea. Have you ever tried starting a new save?

#

just for the sake of testing (not recommending to scrap your old save, of course:))

true cypress
#

no, that might be a good idea - however, i would still be out of progress if the new save file was okay etc - we'll see

true cypress

#

still no fix in sight 😦

fleet solar
#

fixes come with patches.
Unless it is a very common critical issue, it can't be hot-fixed. So unfortunately it should wait for the next patch to be released.
Because it needs to be tested to see if the change causes other problems.

Many issues reported here are already fixed, but they are bundled with the next patch or the next patch or the next one etc.

Memory leak fix (rtx on)
By woozy
Switch textures from High to Medium
ESC save.
And then go back and switch back to HIGH
Problem solved.
Before : 30 min and fps goes from 70-90 to 30. After texture switch i can play as much as i want without issues and fps drops with everything on . And no need to restart the game.
Try it yourself and post your results in comments.

true cypress
#

^ Did not fix.

#

when back in-game fps drops to under 30

prime nebula
#

saw that texture fix as well but it didn't help me either, made it worse to be honest

high ram usage and fps drop to 20 after an hour

# livid gulch As I understand you have contacted our official support?

I mean this games been out ahwile. On console this game is basically unplayable . Audio tears and cuts out the wazoo. Frame rate and lag issues. Constant crashing and freezing and having to restart the game multiple times . Co op is awful with lag and just being dropped. I mean yall should have fixed the serious game breaking bugs before dropping any dlc. Cuz if you can't fix no use on trying to polish a turd that somehow made it through inspection

The new update might be what we waited for! From the changelogs:

#
  • Fixed an issue with the game’s performance dropping after playing for more than 1 hour on some device
#
  • Optimized memory usage in d3d12 mode improving game stability
true cypress
#

dont know if you have that handy still ? 😄

#

got it

#

Headshots with the bows should now deal the appropriate amount of damage

pure comet
#

ram usage still ridiculous amount

#

15 minutes went to 10gb now

pure comet
#

30 minutes 15,150 MB usage

@pure comet Would you mind me DM'ing you for some additional questions?

pure comet

I don't mind
