Try going into the video setting and turn Vsync on. If that doesnât help, go back and change the FPS setting to a set number. Anything other than âsmoothâ. Should help.
Iâm having the same issue and have seen other people complaining about it to. In the beta everything ran smoothly but something changed. Now even with almost everything off and on low I jump from 120 to 22 fps. Itâs definitely not hardware since I have an i7-4790k and a fury-x. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. I was really looking forward to playing some pvp.
You might try turning mouse smoothing off. When I did my frame rates didnât drop as much and the game ran a bit smoother in areas it stuttered before. Still not great, but better.
Short answer is probably âIgnoring the problem, and also âNoâ.â
Put aside the fact that ALL âAAA Developersâ are very, VERY much aware that the vast share of their profits come from console sales (meaning Xbone and PS4), PC ports very rarely see the care they need for a VASTLY different kind of gaming platform.
Gearbox usually does a decent job, though - I just wish theyâd stop signing contracts to use Nvidia Gameworks softwarre, thus ensuring âless than idealâ optimization for AMD users.
This behavior always kinda baffles me, as all the major consoles (meaning Xbone and PS4) use AMD tech, and AMD lets is âopen sourceâ, so Nvidia would be able to make decent optimization profiles as wellâŚ
âŚBut enough ranting and raving: the game is less than ideally optimized, and both AMD and Nvidia users are having issuesâŚ
My advice (for as best as I could personally get the settings to have a smooth framerate) would be:
Turn those âPsy Effectsâ (or w.e. itâs called) down to LOW. These have been reported to cause issues for even Nvidia card users on higher settingsâŚ
Turn everything else as low as you can stand it:
Turn off âDepth of Fieldâ garbage. Contrary to what you might think due to the fact that it OBSCURED your view, DoF is a graphical STRAIN, not a âreleafâ. Also it looks like trash on any game, so⌠>_<
Turn bullet decals OFF. This is a very fast-paced game, and you honestly will not notice them⌠at all. n.nU
Lower your AA settings. Personally Iâm very used to maxing these (as my rig is very powerful), but they are one of the largest source of lag here. I canât reasonably turn them higher than x4 without seeing a large framerate dropâŚ
Put shadow quality on âLowâ and disable âDynamic Shadowsâ. As I said above, this is not a âstop and appreciate the viewâ kind of game, and you really wonât notice a difference (especially with the âcartoonishâ art style the game uses).
If all else fails, lower the texture quality. I can barely see a difference between some of the levels of this setting - so much is solid coloring in this game that you canât tell much of a difference imo.
I had the same issue. Hit âalt + enterâ to go back to full screen mode after you fire up the game. My frame rate was 144 dropped down to 23-24 and now is back up to 144.
Stop blaming it on AMD gpus, people with NVIDA are having just as many issues, gearboxâs silence on these issues is the real problem, a simple message to your community would go al ong way to showing us you care before we demand a refund.
