Thanks for letting us know Jojo. Considering we haven't had much in the way of other new threads on this subject, I'm inclined to think that this is an isolated case.

I just want to say that for me the problem has been solved from the previous technica patch for the game.

But turning down post processing help only some time.

Play a map 6 Player on an 8 Player World and in round ~120 the stuttering is back, wether how low i choose the graphic settings or disable post processing and depth of field.

GPU usage is at 75%, CPU 25%, RAM 2 GB used (from 16 available), GPU RAM 800 MB from 2.000

Hope you can publish an update with a fix :-)

Hey guys,

Just to let you know that we've identified the root causes behind these issues and are working on a fix. No ETA for that fix though, so in the meantime, please turn post-processing down to Medium as mentioned above. Thanks for your patience!

Depth of field was not the problem, i activate it but reduce post processing to medium.

Hello.

Before the patch, the game was fluid with all graphical options at maximum (fantastic quality, etc.)

Now it's greatly reduced, nearly unplayable.

Something important has changed to have this effect. I feel the difference even in the menu, in the options or in the game creation.

As I said before two outgame views (drakken and wild walkers) are giving me 10 fps on title screen, all of the others - stable 60 fps.

Thank you for your own feedback duded.

Myself I have "resolved" the problem by uninstalling the game.

No I joke.

I have just put on and put off the graphical options until it suppress the slowdown. No idea what I have done but now I am at 100 % in all graphical options and it works as before the patch. But that is maybe because few options are currentely not activated and it will do it again when I will restart the game.

I am interested by any true technical resolution, off course.

I initially experienced a drop in frame rate, but when I started a game it went back to normal (large map, 8 players).

Cross-posting, in case it's useful:

From Reddit:

If anyone is having an issue with frame rate, try disabling Depth of Field.

I tried to play the game right after the update and it ran like shit for some reason. Seemed like the frame rate was capped at 20 FPS in videos, on the title screen, and in-game (on the map but not in the different info panels) no matter what I did with most graphical settings. Apparently I forgot to check the Depth of Field setting, because when I disabled that it seems to have mostly resolved my issue. Still runs slow on the title screen sometimes but in-game seems to be back to normal and it seems like it'll be totally playable until it's patched.

There's another guy on the tech support forum with the same issue (edit: the thread) who also has a Radeon R9 200 series card which is the same type of card I have, so that may be the issue. I'd like to respond to his post and let him know but apparently there's some sort of approval period on the forums and I'm not able to get in despite password resets. If anyone wants to pass it along I'm sure he'd appreciate it assuming it helps him out.

Ok sorry.

- Files integrity from Steam said the files are 100 % presents.

- The second files was too huge for the forum uploaded so I puted it on in a extern site. I may have wrong but maybe he is so huge because I tried to open saved game from a previous version, so it generated some errors ? (There were 4 HTLM diagnostic files. So i chose the biggest file, 2 Ko).

Link : http://www.megafileupload.com/micQ/Diagnostics_(2015_11_19_@2033_19__).html

- Without saved game it changes nothing, there is still a huge slowdown in the game. As if I had not directX, or graphical card supported.

Edit : I updated the Ati Catalyst drivers too, to take the newest beta files. It changed nothing. Others games works well so I think it come from this EL update.
