Hi, i have these like frame skips/stutters every 10-15s and in mission 3 (HoG) they get more severe. What i mean is they are longer more like a second long which makes it very annoying and distracting. It happens regardless of the settings and what happens in the game. I can start a mission and move camera in circles around my core and it will still stutter every 10-15s. Although, in skirmish when the map is small and nothing much happening on it the stutters are so brief it is hard to notice them. On big maps with units etc. already on them (like HoG lvl 3) the stutters are longer and are a real pain.

Stuttering during play
I haven't played this in a while so with the release of the new DLC I decided to give it another bash, I've never completed it since low fps on later levels caused the game to become unplayable for me, less than 1fps.


I've built a completely new system since last time, wasn't expecting any issues but I've just completed the level to Defile Uthors Tomb and the last half of the level I kept stuttering every few seconds, I wouldn't think this should be an issue on my system at all but perhaps there is a fix?

Please fix the constant stuttering

I have a really powerful computer, i5, Gtx 970, 32 GB RAM and the game constantly stutters for a fraction of a second. This is really annoying and also often causes miss-clicks, or clicks not working, and is really immesion breaking.

I read that this is due to the engine you use and the garbage collection of that engine. I also read that you are wrapping up extra content for this game in the next patch. I bought this game twice. Once on steam and once from GOG because I really loved DK2 and I really love this game. You guys have done an amazing job and I wanted to support you. I also like my games DRM free. However please don't leave this game with such an annoying bug on an otherwise amazing game. This bug literally affects all campaign levels, skirmish, multiplayer etc.

Please fix this issue soon.

second to last mission unplayable due extreme lag

Every second or so the game just freezes/lags a bit. Its unpossible to finish the campaing. Im running I7-4770K @ 3.5GHz and GTX970 and 16GB ram.

Freezes after 5-10min each 5-10 seconds getting worse overtime
  • Specify your platform
    • OS Windows
    • Version 10
    • 64bit
      • Ram 16GB
      • CPU FX8350
      • GPU GTX 760
  • Specify the build you are using (there will be a timestamp visible on the main menu)

        1.6.4

  • Include as much information as possible (what map you were on, screenshots, videos, etc)

        After about 5 to 10 minutes, a small freeze starts appearing every 5 or so seconds. This freeze gets progressively worse the longer you play. I have no issues in between those time frames, the game runs smooth.
There seems to be little to no effect if I change the graphical options from the highest to the lowest possible settings (while keeping it 1080p though). The map size does seem to matter on how fast the freezes start appearing, under 100x100 it can take up to 10minutes. On the larger ones, it'll start after ~5 minutes.


I feel like the main thread or game ticks are not getting enough resources. I see 2 cores basically at a 100% while the other 6 are mainly idling.


I've been struggling with the performance since for ever now. In the past I was able to play the smaller maps decently, now I can't comfortably play this game at all.

Was that log from when you were playing Crucible?

No, I think that log was just from 2 campaign missions I did trying to get the speedrun achievement (mission 2).


Did another round of testing, this time with a whole bunch of stats on screen.

Seems there were both chugs to a huge amount of GPU usage and a dropping of GPU usage, both combined with frametime spikes.  You can see big hitch here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/309048949?t=11m47s and then another at 12:15 combined with some FPS wildness.


Framepacing itself was all over the place, especially with the Sins of Evil(?) open and a bunch of units on screen.


Overall, it was a small map so the issues were much less severe.  I'll have to test with a big 4 player map or late campaign mission or something. (I'm still re-learning the game and half tempted to reset my campaign to play through again, but then I lose all previous progress, so, meh)

I'm really not seeing any solid freezes, just drops in framerate. for the most part you are pinned at 75FPS so I wouldn't expect the usage on anything to be 100%.


High GPU usage is not a bad thing, unless you are at your max fps(defined by vsync etc) you will see 100% usage in any game.


You will get drops just due to the fact that GC has to happen at some point.


The VOE is renderer in our UI middleware, if that causes it to lag then theres not much we can do
