Awful performace and tuning

seriously wtah is going on at irvine??

this is in no way a troll or flame post just a cause for concern at the quality of the testing process in studio, a few of the issues ive been encountering in the current patch:

HUGE VRAM spikes to the point the game freezes and stalls for about 15-20 seconds (can throw my mouse pointer around the screen and music is playing so its not a hardware crash)
invisible barriers and rubberbanding (seriously this was supposedly fixed in season 2 after the invisible wall progressblocker at the start of the seasonal Q)
huge visual glitches (heres looking at you astaroth)

maybe it shouldnt have been turn 10 the initiative or any other MS studio that got layoffs/redundancies but should have been blizzard looking at the current state of the lack of listening to player feedback instead of in house toxic positivity

I experience the exact same issues…

This is definitely an issu on my side also. I believe this is both the game and both nvidia driver related problem, because I experience this on numerous games in the last half a year. I went back to last December’s last driver version on my rtx 3090 this is the best, but still, I believe they updated the games to be compatible with 5000 series and it is causing issues for older card versions/drivers,I would be my entire 30 years of gaming experience on this.

Got to lvl 30+ before i uninstalled. Lagspikes, rubberbanding, falling thru the earth, freezes and stuttering. Not a big deal cause S9 is complete garbage anyway… well… cya in S10.

Having the same issues here. Fairly new PC with no issues at all in season 8. :frowning:

Yes, I get all these issues this season, I have never had anything this bad before. The game used to use 4 to 8GB depending on what you were doing, and now it is looking to use 14GB and wants to pull 23GB. It is trying to ue all my RAM and VRAM, I don’t do anything and just watch the figure getting higher and higher.

Is it a memory leak or is it constantly loading up all the shaders and textures? As when I lowered those in the graphics settings, I was able to play for longer before it became the freeze fest it builds up to.

true and so true, cant be any more true in that

It feels like a seasonal thing and it’s an absolute disgrace that this has still not been addressed yet.
