Change struggle or optimize this fricking game
We know this game is not optimize at all. I play on pc, (my specs are: Ryzen 7 1700, 16 GB RAM and Nvidia GTX 1050 GPU) and I suffer from dropped frames since a long time ago, mostly in chases, Freddy's world, Doctor shocks, gaining bloodlust... and even random ones. So, today, I was struggling on hook and a hex totem was cleased, and, guess what happened... My frames dropped and I couldn't keep struggling so I died. Not the first time.
My friend has been suffering this problem from time to time latlety as well and he doesn't have any problem with his frames, so it's not only a frames issue.
I suggest to have an automatic struggle or something, since is so frustrating to constantly smashing the struggle key and dying anyway because someone cleansed a totem or whatever else. It's so unfair to lose a game early and let your teammates in the lurch just because. And not knowing if you can struggle enough for your teammates to save you every game you play.

I have a GTX 1650, and I am playing on low graphics on 1080p, and when I get a Freddy on Ormond I have like 95% GPU usage. Its insane how horribely bad optimised this game is.

I know they want to have some kind of interactive struggle phase for the survivors, but it would fix so many problems if it was made to not be so:
- No more dying because a lag/latency issue misread a survivor's input and inadvertently finished the sacrifice
- No more being sacrificed because your struggle button ceased to function
- Survivors would no longer be able to self-sacrifice themselves early (this would be big for a lot of players)
And probably other things I haven't considered yet. Though I think the Devs may have mentioned previously that they are considering how to improve this hook stage (there was a survey about it at one point), so we may see some meaningful changes within the coming months or year.

I'm playing low too and 0 resolution settings even tho the Gefore Experience software says my optimal settings are medium graphics. With all the bugs, unbalance and optimization problems sometimes I want to stop playing for good despite I really like it. And let's not talk about potato teammates... 😓

I use the GTX 1050 as well. Game lobby takes up 97% capacity, it´s baffling.

I remember that survey. They will probably do something about it later than soon, I just hope it won't be skill checks like Pyramid cages. I think they just need to make it a passive thing or make it slower so you don't have to smash it that much, at least while they find another system.

Are you having frame issues too? It's infuriating.

Yes. Among my peers are several "computer professionals" (I´m not exactly sure how to translate their professions to english, sry) that helped me to really get the most of my hardware setup. Before the recent update I played on max settings with great FPS, now I alternate between low and medium, hoping my graphic card doesn´t melt. Constantly forced to use max capacity.
This helped lessen the framedrops and stuttering. They occured mostly at the start of matches, but also throughout.

I overclocked my GPU (I don't know if you're talking about that) and I don't see any difference 😢 So I don't know what else to do. Looking for upgrading, but I can't afford it right know.

Nah no overclocking on my side. Temperature generation is bad as-is. I´m about to start the first matches of the day soon, maybe I´ll see a difference with todays patch. Have you tested if anything changed today yet? Patch notes claim at least the movement stuttering was adressed.

I just played one match after the patch and it was when I died on second hook because someone cleansed a hex totem 🤣

Darn...
I just played a couple matches. Good performance so far (on low medium though).
I asked about the issue in tech support btw. They recommended setting -fullscreen as a launch option on steam if you´re on that platform. Helps a bit

I feel you OP.
The game is not bad looking, but the performance should be way better for it's graphics. I wonder if it's constant unnecessary checks making it run so bad, having like 50 lines of codes running each frame with no need really dumps the perfomance to hell, if thats what happening, they may need to rewrite the whole code again.

I just tried and I had three matches with nice results. I don't know at this moment if that trick helps, but thank you so much. My friend also says is having frame problems since the last two updates (RTX 2060).

I don't think we need so much content at this moment. They should release new chapters every 4-5 months for some time or skip one chapter to focus on improve the game health. Like they did with this last DLC: there's no new map because they're focusing on improve the current ones.
