After the recent 7% “improvement” my game now stutters and lags constantly. Fps goes from 60-70 down to 20-30 for no reason. Every other game on the 3 pc’s in my house run perfect.
Anybody know what caused this recently and/or how to fix? Please help!
Thanks,
Merc
More players on 1 & 2 channels? Since they removed many for some rather popular-decent maps.
I haven’t noticed a real change in FPS since it happened but I’m right at the North American server, the small change may not have effected me as much.
The huge dps drop would be considered more of a spike considering that things operate “faster”. So while the game has been optimized, it is met with lag more frequently
After reading some more on the forums, it’s technically called “Rubberbanding”? My character teleports backward and sometimes it can take me up to TEN attacks, yes ten, to kill a monster that I would normally 2 hit kill.
That is more to do with ping
Any tips to fix ping? Seems to be happening to more people than myself, or is it just server related and we wait it out?
Server related sadly, I remember there was a site to test your ping against their servers. I had one bad day where I was going between 30-500 ping. The only way you can blame your network is if you’re multitasking the game with your browser and both of them struggle, which would have to be confirmed with speed test sites
The problem is that this just started happening about three days ago and it’s not happening to any of my three other friends who are playing. Hopefully somebody who knows the specifics of the patch change can help me out with how to optimize the game better.
This rubberbanding is making the game extremely less fun.
Turn on VSync, it caps your FPS at a max of 60.00 so you don’t get unusual screen tearing and stuttering. This will at least help with the fluctuation, of course the FPS dips still exist and occur.
VSync has been on during all of this. I tried turning it off, just to see what happened, but it made it worse, so I turned it back on.
If that’s the case, the highest your FPS should go (w/ VSync on) is 60.xx, I have no idea how it flew to 70 with the limitation. Maybe something else changed with your system recently? The patch basically had no effect on my performance though, so this is probably device/driver specific issue since you mentioned your friends didn’t get impacted at all.
Regarding your ping issues, check with your ISP to see if you’ve reached your bandwidth cap and are now being throttled, this could explain your sudden increase in ping. Even if you’re on an unlimited plan, chances are there’s a data-cap, that once reached, will automatically trigger throttling.
You did say you have at least 3 PCs at home, I’m assuming they’re also in use and have access to the internet.
I think that patch brought some sort of memory leak issue. My game starts to give graphical lag if my game runs for a few hours straight. The fps drops to like 12fps in dungeon even when not fighting mobs. The fps will return to normal if I restart the game but thats not a fix at all.
Interesting! That’s a long standing issue for a couple of players. After a while the game does deteriorate and you need to restart it (sometimes I see ToS taking up 6GB of my RAM lol). Looks like for you, it appears to occur more now than before? That’s horrible.
These random FPS drops are related to some backgrounds effects in certain areas, Zeraha elevator that take you to the goddess arm have that same issue, i did reported that once, they fixed in the next patch but now it is back again, other areas with lots of particles and effects are affected and the char models somewhat are messed in a way that cause it too.
I was wrong about it going above 60 fps with Vsync on.
The other pc’s in my house are not in use when this is happening.
Some other common issues that I’m experiencing are with skill usage. When I cast Smite, my character actually freezes and I cannot move. The Smite animation is used, but the skill does no damage and the cooldown is not used. This sometimes happens 2-3 times in a row. Same thing with multiple other skills.
I mean overall, did you check if your data is throttled? (eg: your kids or someone else in the house has used up so much data that you’re now capped).
This has been a recurring issue for ToS, it happened a lot in CBT, then it kinda stopped, then started happening a lot again after the last 3 patches. I really don’t have an idea how to fix this one, happens to me too, mostly when I’m buffing or when I’m using essential skills ( bad timing 
).
Something I have been noticing more lately is when I try to turn my character around and use a skill, but my character stays facing the wrong way and uses the skill anyway. : |
