We are working on a fix for 8.40.

The quick summary is that 8.30 included a massive refactor of rendering code that sped up most platforms by making better use of threading.

Low end PC got worse though :-(

We’re aware of the issue and are looking into it. We could always use more information. Anyone experiencing this issue can send me a message with their Epic ID and the platform you are playing on. I’ll follow up with those on further information we may need.

Thanks for the report, we've fixed this in a future client build.

Cheers,

Michael Noland

Hey all,

Dropping in here to give y’all an update. The “REDDIT” Support-A-Creator code was issued prematurely based on some early discussions aimed at providing a source of funding for community events and programs here on Reddit. This was meant to support an evolution of Reddit’s “Community Jar” initiative. No Support-A-Creator funds would be directed to moderators. We’ve disabled the code.

Epic welcomes everyone’s thoughts on how we can best support the community here.

nice! but the 80 megabyte mini patch you guys released earlier today to adress dualcore cpu performance literally destroyed the performance for other users including me, im on a quadcore i5 and getting major frame stutters and frame drops now down as low as ~ 30 randomly and then right back up to 120 which is my framecap very often :/ (like 10-20 times per minute)

 

in my case, average/maximum fps is still good tho and at same levels as after the 8.30 improvements, but the constant stutters and drops after the small patch today is the issue, game was running better than ever for me after 8.30 but now, after this last small patch its no point for me at all to even play with the hitching, :/

Thanks for bringing this up. We're looking into this issue but we could also use your help. We could use your logs and a DX diagnostic.

Hello, I'll try to provide as much information as I can.

I am running on a low-end PC:

  • Intel Xeon W3520
  • 8GB RAM DDR3
  • AMD Radeon HD 7470

I am playing on 1280x720, 33.3% 3D resolution, I used to get 50-60+ FPS before 8.30 update.

After the update, the FPS is still as it is in the pre-game lobby and in the bus, the sooner I get to the ground while landing (more render happens), the more the FPS starts decreasing. It drops from 30-40 while landing to 7-15 (max) as soon as I reach the ground.

And stays like that during the whole game (20-40 max).

Epic ID: LTS ElzeerX

I am not sure what it is but if it is a program or something, surely I can.

Thanks for the info!

Hey there!

Thanks for reporting this issue. We'll start investigating, but we could use your help. Could you provide any of the following directly: Logs, Epic ID or a replay file from the match.

We deployed a hotfix reducing the health of The Baller from 300 to 200.

In the 8.20 patch notes, we said we would add the ability to shoot through the glass of Ballers in a future update. We’ve played with shooting through glass and it didn’t feel like the right solution.

Drop in and let us know what you think!

Side note - for crash fixes like this we make them optional for a while as they get propagated to all territories / regions and only require updating after we verify with telemetry that it actually addresses the issue. Should be forced soon if not already.

Follow-up. It should be forced as of ~9:50 EDT.

Hey there!

We were performing maintenance on party features during this time which is likely the reason why you had this issue. We're no longer performing maintenance, please reach out if you are continuing to have this issue!

We were performing maintenance at the time. You should be good to party back up!

Thanks for catching - we’ll get that fixed in 8.40.

There is a build either tonight or tomorrow to fix hitches. It sure has been two steps forward and one step backwards recently :-/

Hey there!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We're investigating this issue but we'd love some additional information if you could help provide it. Can you let me know what your Epic ID is? Could you run a Dx Diagnostic?

Comment

Looking into this. Thanks for the report.

/u/GustForce is correct in his patch timing.
