FPS was fine, now it's not.

Alright, so when I started playing this game about a month ago.. I had no FPS issues, sure it dropped a bit during group content but it was generally fine. Doing Poh and Mujin 24 man or Blackwyrm I was around 15 FPS, not great, but fine. No freezes.

 

Now however, anything involving more than 6 people leads to massive fps drops, even freezing for several seconds, at BW yesterday at one point it froze for a complete BW rotation so yeah I died :D It now also tends to happen during a big lure, like the spiders in skittering to a halt. All those spiders in the first pull and I throw some meteors, instant freeze.

 

Now, I'm not 100% sure it is related, and it seems weird, but around the time (exactly the time?) it started, I was in queue for x-server dungeon and the game crashed. After which the launcher just wouldn't work anymore, giving me errors n shit. So, looked around, see what I could do, uninstalled the launcher and re-installed it.

 

Now 24 man is a pain, a majority of the time even with the fps issues I still manage to pull aggro, at horrible fps (or freezing during mujin's concentrated fire) giving me low reaction times and taking a lot of damage, if not dying. I've given up on trying to get enough DPS on BW altogether now.

 

I've looked around for FPS fixes n all that, tried it to the best of my abilities, uninstalled/re-downloaded the game, file repair and whatnot. Changing the graphic settings from max to min, with CTRL+F, without CTRL+F, optimize for combat, alt+enter for fullscreen (actually seems more prone to crashing for me), it doesn't seem to matter at all. Generally same performance no matter what settings. Which is weird.

 

I'll include specs, a bit dated now but generally manages fine.

 

i5-2500k @ 4.5 ghz

8 GB RAM

GTX 680 @ 1.2 ghz

windows 7

 

both GPU/CPU temps generally hover around 60-65, doubt it's an overheating issue. i've tried slightly overclocking and even underclocking the GPU with no noticeably differences during these fights.

 

I keep reading how the game is DX9 and how it's shit with a lot going on etc. But it can't explain how the first two weeks of playing I had no freezing issues at all.

 

Anyhow, anyone got any ideas? Because it's starting to get frustrating to the point I might move on from BnS.

This is exactly what happened to me, I was completely fine until this most recent patch. now I cant even do BW fights I drop to 10 FPS with constant freezes and never get credit for the fights because I cant do dps.

This is happening to me too.

I tried blackwyrm today... my experience can be summed up to... game freezing for about 10 seconds .. wake up dead, revive, come back, get two hits in, die from the game freezing up again.

Poh and MM 24 man are equally a pain ...

And all of this is happening with all of my settings turned down to 1 and with characters and interface hidden.

Now.. you might say that's just cause of my rig... but, then, why is it that i can get an almost stable 50 FPS outside of any group content...

I honestly do hope they do something about it... It's killing my enjoyment of the game ... and my neurons...

Honestly, i would have long since dropped the game like a bad habbit, if i didn't actually like the game outside of its horrid technical issues.

Same thing here but my specs are way higher than yours.. i get 140 FPS when no one is around but it drops beyond 15 FPS at BW and in 24 player dungeons..

 

AMD FX-8350 @ 4.9GHz (Water cooled + Overclocked)

Nvidia Geforce Titan X (Hybrid-cooling)

 

i got temperatures around 40 to 50 degrees.

nothing fixes it, tomorrow's patch has no optimization fixes, which means they lied about the upcoming optimization. 

 

its effecting all people with different ranges of hardware, some people are fine playing on potatoes, others are struggling with 2000 dollar rigs. 

 

the question is how long do they think people are gonna deal with it before the game goes full wildstar and becomes a 2 server wasteland with nothing but bots and a few dedicated fanatic guilds at endgame.

 

it was performance that killed that game, and the sad part is the fixed it but introduced ability lag that made combat feel bad. then they fixed that by destroying the performance again. and that was there second launch when they went f2p, i did not play before that. i would say that wildstar ran better than blade and soul at its worst though.

yea but they destroyed the performance for good now ... i mean with 10sec. freeze i cannot loot MM or PoH in 24 man dungeons .. this is VERY annoying and no one even talks about it from NCSOFT ...this is like the 3rd or 4th topic about this problem and nobody says  anything ,they are like ignoring us ... the game will slowly die that's for sure :(

been having similar issues. for group content i have to turn off seeing other players now. (ctrl+f). its helpful..but not something i want to have to do forever.

dude , read all the posts and u will find that we are talking about this problem with crt+f already on ,with settings at 1, with mem clean, with ParkControl to unpark our cpu cores ,

with the game installed on C:/ drive , with those graphix settings set to high performance in our GPU control panels

NOTHING WORKS !!!

Hey , i'm having the same issues as you guys started right after the patch of february 10th before that i had 120fps in almost every area they'd go down to 40-50 in crowded area(bw poh24) but after the patch i'd have at most 50fps in non crowded area with big stuttering and freeze making the fps go down to 10-15 fps when there was people around (ctrl+f didn't help at all) i found an optimization guide that helped a little making the game playable but never got what i had before their "optimization patch.." .

if you want to try out the guide here's a link :  https://www.reddit.com/r/bladeandsoul/comments/42y25u/blade_and_soul_optimization_guide_needs/

would be great if someone from nc soft could adress this problem that from what i've seen a lot of player are experiencing.

BUMP! I was fine for the first few hours of BnS with my own Warlock, but the moment there was that "mini" update a few hours later, I just started having horrible input command. My fps was sorta fine i think, there didn't seem to be a difference, but there was literally a seccond in between all my commands....

Did both 24 man today, so far no freezes and actually 20-25+ fps during the fight. Too early to tell if it's fixed but I have high hopes.

I did also, and the graphics lag seems to be gone....think it is back to "normal"
