My FPS is extremly low this update.
What Happened?
My FPS is reading around 250, which is my normal framerate when I'm playing Loki, but it feels like 5 fps in some fights because the hitching is so bad. I'm not able to play for half the fights we've had.
What did you expect?
To be able to look left or right in a fight without freezing constantly.

Constant stuttering when I use storm LShift especially
Fps drops in big fights
Playing on like 30 in big fights
loud prawn
Yeah the stuttering this playtest has been really bad
Aidan was showing us one of his clips in the showmatch

Can y'all post clips with the circled graphs turned on?
honest salmon
I'll record it for you right now

what graphics API are you using?

11 is my only option
stable pivot
DirectX 11
loud prawn
11 is also my only option

It should be 11 - just making sure. Logs would be helpful as well

I've adjusted my settings already because of the stutters, but I'll go ahead and head in game and grab some clips of it now
Now I'm having issues w/ nvidia replay lol sorry

Yeah I'm getting the same FPS issues. I'm hopping off for now but just wanted to say I'm getting them too
honest salmon
While I try to work out my nvidia record issue here is a screenshot of me w/ the spikes when I move my camera around
All I do to obtain it is move my camera around in a circle

It's possible that folks are hitching on shader creation - not ideal, but if that is the case, then it should sort of clean itself up as you play (e.g. you get more shaders cached on your machine, so you'll stop hitching as that happens).
Please let me know if the hitching becomes less frequent after a few games.
Curious also if folks hitting these hitches have Loki installed on an SSD or HDD

The thread rendering graph
keeps spiking
throughout my gameplay
like I was watching it every now and
and it would just spike up

do those work^?
it was better in the first one for the start of it, and then usually stutters hard in fights like the second

Seems like I'm getting better results now and things are moving towards playable. I've got all the charts on now if I start to see issues again and should be able to record things now. Just a heads up though those first few games were not playable lol
lament pagoda
That makes sense - strong evidence that it's probably a caching issue. Not ideal, but it should resolve itself after a few games...
honest salmon
👍 Thanks for the help :)

NO yea, I tried recording what just happened, but I tried testing with Joule, dashed in, dropped to like 2 fps, missed dash and ended up dying, Shadowplay sadly didn't wanna work so I dont have recording, but It didn't feel anything like the game has felt in the past

Game is running pretty laggy for me aswell. The cursor lags so it's hard to aim.
I am playing a laptop which is not optimal for gaming, but last playtest it worked fine, and I haven't been downloading anything since then plus other games works just fine.
Are there some new setting I should disable?

We're testing out DX11 during this playtest to see how it compares to DX12 - you can't swap to DX12, but we will review the results and either improve DX11 or swap back to DX12

Personally my frames are not getting any better
after many games
i still cannot play the game in teamfights
stray pewter
Right now the only issue I am having is that I get stutter once every like 2 minutes
visual shadow
I'm dropping below 30 fps in virtually any fight with another team and I'm on all lowest settings
honest salmon
I experienced a 20 second freeze after completing an MVP just now lol

Yeah... I can't play this time 😦 so sad.

if I'm still getting 30 fps or so in fights despite playing plenty of games and being on lowest settings do u think theres anything I can do 
lament pagoda
hmmm, you might have a more specific issue, I'm not 100% sure. Might help to get your client logs and take a look
visual shadow
how do I go about doing that?
lament pagoda
I'll dm you

I did have this problem yesterday
and after 3hrs of game it went wayyy better
like going from full low settings 100fps down to 30fps spikes~ 1270x720 to Medium anti aliasing 1980x1020 200-140 fps range
like it was day and night

i had this problem yesterday as well, still an issue today, i have a lower end machine and in the prior playtests my game ran fine, it wasnt anything amazing but i had like 80-100 fps, now even after making sure every settings is on low and lowering my resolution to the minimum i still have lag spikes and its pretty impossible to play, and im only getting 60ish fps in fights which dips consistently
