Random lag when swapping weapons

[Evolver2020]

Has anyone else had this happen to them? It only occurs after a few hours of playtime, I have to relog every few hours as that is the only way to fix it.

Character Name: Evolver2020
Server: Castle of Steel
Issue: Swapping weapons causes game to lag after playing for a few hours, if I dodge while doing it the lag gets worse. Makes it impossible to play any fast-paced game modes such as 3v3.
Fix: relog, not ideal especially when there is a queue.

happens and gets worst everytime you exit an instance btw. play 5 oprs and a couple arenas? frame drop on weapon swap and MASSIVE frame drops on death. some sort of data leak happens when leaving instances that stacks up

Returning player… this is why i left the game about 9 months ago. Seems like the dev were more worried about adding content instead of fixing the combat then and still are today. 9 months later and still not fixed. Also range weapons shooting up and to the right of where your crosshairs are pointing is still in the game.

yep having same issue, get awful stuttering when swapping weapons that progressively gets worse as i play more, only fix i have found is relogging also, very not ideal and makes it legitimately impossible to do arenas or anything mechanical. super annoying and game breaking.

Still waiting on a dev response on this. They introduced some major performance issues this last patch, and this is a big one. Same problem here.

This is a good insight. You’ll noticed they fixed the FPS lag when you die in OPR, but seemed to have introduced other unintended performance issues. There’s now a constant stutter in the game, and weapon swap FPS drops are now a thing.

Same isue… after some dungeons game os unplayable… Get stuttering that gets worse every time i complete a dungeon…

I have more in depth information here:

Weapon swapping causes GPU power spikes

So, I’ve got an interesting story here. I’m sure some of you are aware of the (for lack of a better term, I will call memory leak), where after playing an Outpost Rush or two, the game starts stuttering and when you weapon swap quickly, it causes the game’s FPS to tank. Well, I have a lamp behind my monitor that I use as bias lighting. I noticed just the other day that whenever I swapped weapons in New World, my lamp would flicker. I could spam the weapon swap key over and over again, and my lam…

I am so sorry you have had this issue and have had it so long ago. I have taken your information down and passed this along to the team. @Evolver2020
