Damn after the update a whole lot more topics about the game freezing has popped up. Devs keep saying the same thing too which baffles me… (VERIFY THIS, REINSTALL THAT, CHECK INTEGRITY, ETC) same copy paste post. I wish they would at least try to talk to us as a regular person not a simple BOT response.
For me the update lowered my performance. Slight lag issues and FPS is now 40ish and dips into the low 20s when pre update it was always capped at 60. Even during rifts and wars.
I have been playing today with 0 crashes full very high.
I don’t know what changed but again, here’s what I did recently:
Cleared DxCache, Cleaned Registry, Dedusted PC, Turned off any kind of hardware accelaration from Discord, Turned off Vsync.
Perhaps this will help, perhaps not, wish you luck <3
I didn’t change anything since yesterday and today played ~10h without closing the game just fine. The issue is with the game itself or servers, idk, but not on user side for sure.
I haven’t had crashes exactly but I get freezes every 5-10 seconds in game - all troubleshooting options exhausted (thanks Devs) and its gamebreaking. Kinda over it because I paid for a dead and frozen game.
I saw an interesting variant this morning. I was attacking an enemy and the video froze, but while it was frozen I heard attacks hit and the ding from the enemy dying. So the game is obviously still running, but the rendering is freezing up for some reason. I’ve also noticed I get fewer video glitches after moving the game to SSD. I suspect there are some issues with texture streaming (loading textures dynamically, for the lay people) that are causing the video to stall.
Hasn’t happened to me at all, until about an hour before down time just now. Then it happened every couple of minutes. I noticed it seemed to happen mostly when a mob had particle effects.
I had this happen when I was fighting at the boar farm and it always happened when tuskgore spawned and you get him to about halfway, game would freeze for 7 seconds then unfreeze… really weird. No issues previously or there after… only at the boar farm for me.
Yeah not the same issue we are having, our game is freezing ( GPU Usage & clocks goes to idle values, so the game stopped rendering) and the only way to get in again is to kill it in task manager.
@Madman do you have something in the Windows Event Viewer when your freeze is happening ?
I feel like there is something wrong with CPU’s actually. I noticed that my GPU sits comfy at around 70% usage. My CPU on the other hand is on 60% but when the game needs to render some new lighting/shadows or complex effects it jumps up to 100% and then down to 10-20% followed by an fps drop down to 10-16.
I used to play medium settings uncap and had like 50fps. Now till Monday I need to play low and cap at 30…
I am on a 3 year old MSI Gaming Laptop with i7700 HQ and 1050Ti
I can see that most people have the same issues with much better GPUs than me. Such a shame
same stuff, screen goes black for 1 sec then i have to kill newworld.exe in task manager.
windows event viewer still shows the same error : nvlddmkm stopped responding 4101
