FPS issues post 2.0.0
Comments

I played six games to try and record all of the drops in FPS. I'm on a PS4 Slim, and I played as the killer every game. I noted "slight lag" when FPS was just choppy, and "major lag" when there were small freezes. I will list every game, but the most common occurrences of lag throughout every game are as follows:
Major FPS drops when starting a chase, ending a chase, searching a locker, completion of a generator, and having multiple survivors very close to you.
Slight FPS drops during long chases, while carrying survivors, being in open areas, when survivors change struggle phases on the hook, and when looking out a long distance from a high vantage point.
1ST GAME:
Trapper, Campbell's Chapel. Slight drops while inside chapel and circus area. Major drops when chasing and carrying survivors.2ND GAME:
Trapper, Wretched Shop. Slight drops while standing on hilltops and during chases.3RD GAME:
Huntress with Wolf Mask, Campbell's Chapel. Slight drops during hook struggling, generator completion, and inside the circus/chapel areas. Major drops when chasing/carrying survivors.4TH GAME:
Nurse, Ironworks of Misery. Slight drops when looking out from the tower platforms. Otherwise a relatively smooth game.5TH GAME:
Pig, The Game. Slight lag during chases and major lag when near multiple survivors.6TH GAME:
Meyers, The Game. Slight lag during chases and carrying survivors.0 -

Coal tower
Trapper
I was fixing a generator with another player. Another player walked over from the other side of the camera as I was moving while also getting a skill check. The combination of so much happening at once definitely caused the drop though I have been in similar situations beforehand and have never seen such an aggressive drop before.0 -
Regular PS4
Doctor: all maps have significant slowdown and framerate drops, all times.Trapper: Played only on Red Forest and The Game. severe framerate drops at all times, practically a slideshow. Especially noticeable when attacking.
Leatherface, all maps: moderate framerate drops.
Myers, all maps: nothing I noticed.
Playing survivor, all maps: haven't noticed anything.

Getting hit for the first time with an attack. Getting hit subsequent times causes no issue. If someone else gets hit first it may or may not cause fps drop.0 -
Xbox One X
Any map with corn or cattails, large maps, maps with altered lighting or altered mist. All experience frame droppage or just seem to run at low FPS
Nurse seems to get terrible drops in general when blinking, hard to track survivors, seems worse after the update
Any time a buff or de buff appears on the screen there seems to be frame drops, seems to be when the icon appears, so NOED pops up as a survivor or bloodlust appears as killer
Good work on Huntress hatchets though they are soooo much better after the 2.00 patch, I can actually throw hatchets!

I've been having periodic fps issues on shelter woods since 2.0. Game will be smooth for a while then drop for a bit, then smooth again. Doesn't seem to be connected to any particular prop i'm looking in the direction of, but it did seem to get worse when the gates were powered.0 -

Ps4 proi wanted to share that my stuttering and lag spikes have nearly disappeared after turning off boost mode on the ps4 pro. I have done this several times Now and have experienced similar results.
ps4 boost mode does not like patch 2.0
This is worse while playing Survivor with boost mode off on PS4 Pro.
If the Killer does an action (Freddy sleep/Myers tier etc) while you are struggling on hook you just die because of the game freezing.

It happens really anywhere when a lot of things are happening at once. I had to change my settings from ultra to medium to stop the fps drops.1 -
PS4. Auto haven has some gens that are 2 men gens but one side doesn’t let you work on it. I’ve noticed a few others in other maps but can’t remember which ones0
-
To add to this, on PS4 (regular, not PRO) there's post match frame rates drops. I don't know what causes this. Also in the menu at times, the cursor is dropping in frame rates at times.
Shelter Woods definitely has some sort of issue. As survivor and killer. Overall playing killer has worse FPS problems.
I'd just love to get this locked in at 30 FPS. We're not asking for 40-60 FPS. We just want 30ish. And for it to never dip below 25 WITHOUT sacrificing graphics.
The art in this game is awesome. I love it. Lots of games run at 30+ FPS.

It occurs on every killer on every map. It is really bad with the doctor and the clown. The doctor is at the moment not playable.System: PS40

@Not_Queen
i dont know how are the config datas on console. But on PC it helps if you Play on Higher grafik to switch in the Gameusersettings the ScalabilityLevel=1-3 to ScalabilityLevel=0 even if all other Settings are on Ultra (3)
After this Change it runs on PC self with 2k grafik (Usersettings locked) with smooth FPS if your System can run this game in Ultra grafik.
If this is also an Option on Console, then Maybe it can fix the Problem if the ScalabilityLevel is standard higher then 00 -

From the very start of the game until the end of the match you can immediately tell that the frame rate is suffering. It seems to get even worse when large interactions occur like running into a survivor, activating a power, or powering generators that do larger events like the center generator in Lerys1 -

CONSOLE :XBOX ONE S
Well on XBOX ONE S I seem to have the biggest fps problems when using effect heavy killers like clown doctor, nurse, and all the time as Freddy (probably because how misty the dream world is).
These problems are really noticeable on swamp map, farm maps as well as the red forest map which has the rain fx.
Certain actions also cause frame rate drops when you kick a pallet as killer the pallet animation looks laggy and when the debris from the broken pallet is in the air it also leads to frame rate drops. Whenever a survivor starts spinning like they are doing a 360 I don't know why but for some reason it makes it feel weird (I don't know if this is possibly motion blur?) As well as when you find multiple survivors at once it makes the frame rate drop like crazy when they start running all at once.
Other things that cause a little bit of lag is when Michael Myers enters ew3 near you (Michael Myers also gets a couple frame rate issues when entering EW3) . Entering bloodlust tier 1 also seems to make your frames go down like crazy for a second or two it's really noticeable. Also to add to that if you enter bloodlust in the crop fields on a farm map say goodbye to whoever you're chasing because it's almost impossible to keep the chase up unless they are running in a straight line. When someone enters the dream world Freddy tends to have some drama drops as well. What I believe as well is that the fire fx from barrels lowers your frames as well if you're near it or looking in it's direction.
I almost never tend to get frame rate issues as survivor though most of the frame rate issues always happens as killer and like I stated it happens to effect heavy killers like Clown, Doctor , Freddy (too much mist) and sometimes even Nurse.
On another side note for some reason the main menu is always laggy on Xbox moving the cursor can sometimes be a big pain because it moves at normal speed then for whatever reason it slows down a lot then it speeds back up again.

The frame rate gets really choppy doing skill checks - I don't know if that's being caused by the other FPS issues being mentioned, but it's where it hurts the most. The arrow on skill checks doesn't move in a nice predictable swing on consoles. Sometimes it'll suddenly lurch and speed up and cause you to miss a check. Sometimes you watch it going for the sweet spot and then it hangs for a second, and you hit the button and miss the check because it froze for a second when it should have entered the Great zone.
This is bad enough on regular skill checks but on some of the 'fast' ones that pop up out of nowhere and seem to be moving very fast the jerky speed of the arrow can make them nearly impossible to hit at times.1 -

Any killer/survivor if i go to the center of shelter i get huge fps drops for autohaven its as billy and its just random fps drops at random
Any actions when going towards the center of shelter and any actions on auto haven0 -
1st gen Xbox One
Mainly Nurse, sometimes survivor.
Most maps, mainly Pale Rose, Haddonfield and Badham though.
I don't care what anyone says, the Nurse is actually playable now. I'm a Day 1 Xbox player, and the FPS for killer are the best they've ever been AS A WHOLE. FPS are still lost often though, especially on Pale Rose and Haddonfield.
The few times I play as the Clown, when multiple bottles have been thrown the FPS gets really nasty. Almost impossible to time a hit sometimes.
I don't think most players appreciate/experienced how good it has gotten since last years launch. Keep up the good work with each update!

Xbox One (original model)
Maps: Lery's, Haddonfield, Springwood, MacMillan (all 4)
Killers: Doctor, Hag, Myers
Tier-ups on bloodlust and Evil Within tend to drop frames. Doctor in treatment mode heavily decreases FPS. Played a game as the Hag on Lery's and it was choppy the whole time. Lery's seems to be the worst map in general.
Thank you for looking at this issue! I hope my feedback can help you all out!1 -
PC Specs APU Ryzen 3 2200g, Ram 8gb(2gb for VRAM and 6gb for the game)
Settings: 35% of 900p Resolution on Low
FPS FROM SURVIVOR ONLY
Worst perfomance wise maps: Shelter Woods(28FPS), Red Forest(40-50FPS), BadHam(only on boiler room, 40FPS).
Best perfomance wise map: The Game(60 FPS locked)
I havent noticed anything related to killers that affect my fps. The only thing though I have noticed is that I always have 60 FPS locked on all maps when I am close to my initial spawn area.
All other maps vary from 50-60FPS

I think it starts arbitrarily and you can only fix it by restarting the console.

game started fine as far as fps. Got a significant drop after hooking two people when everyone was injured. When they were all slugged it seemed better.0 -
Xbox one s
All maps on killers
Red forest is terrible played at down to 15 fps
And When most of my team mates are around the framerate gets horrible again
A game like this should be pushed to 60 fps no matter what, drop the resolution down to 720p whatever but make the game playable, running around a pallet or trying to hit someone with a hatchet, nurse or chainsaw is terrible at sub 30fps0 -
I had a long gaming session today (8am till 4pm) and noticed the following:- the drop in framerates was stronger over time. In the morning (i guess with less players on the servers) it was ok... not 100% fluid but arround 80% when more players joined the server at arround 1-2 pm the frame rate dropped enourmes (70 - 60%)- killers with "effects" are suffering more than "normal" killers. I had no problem with billy but a lot of problems with Doctor / Clown / Freddy (with fog offering). Could it be that the effects are to strong for the server connections etc.?- before the patch i had fram rate problems with the doctor only (thats why i switched him as a main)I hope this will help.0

General FPS on the original three realms has been greatly decreased since the 2.0 update. Shelter Woods used to get ~20-25 fps, now it gets down to 12 or less near the center. Cornfields on all the maps seem more intensive, it's the most noticeable on Fractured Cowshed though.1 -
Xbox 1S
All killers, all maps, only killers. (Survivor plays fine)
I’ve been playing on ~20fps for killer since I started. Very frustrating since survivors literally disappear around corners or after hits because of missing frames. 360s are near impossible to counter at this frame rate. Please help. I have quit the game on 2 occasions because of this but I really want to play and buy skins.

PC - configuration higher than recomended requirements (it´s not only on consoles...)
All maps
All killers
Main issue is freezing game for about 1-2s, or very high fps drop - this problem affecting survivors connected to my game!! (many of them told me that during this matches they were unable to use Dead Hard propertly)
Main trigger from what I saw is Bloodlust tier 1, every time Bloodlust comes in play this happens.
Recently I experienced similar problem (it´s like 2 weeks now - just around Bloodhunt event) and still happening - same problem - triggered by lunge attack around corner or over pallete with quick turn - like fake red stain before going to smash suvivor waiting to drop pallete.
One time it happended when I played Leatherface, using his chainsaw a during starting part of chainsaw i made turn for 180° - freeze, i lost my chase because of this.
Hope it help to find out what happening....0 -
PS4 Pro
All maps, worst are the dark ones Macmillan Estate, Swamp and Huntress forest map, mist offerings make it worst the more mist.
Billy chainsaw, nurse blink, doctor shock, pallets, turning camera, initiating a hit, pretty much anything you do will cause an FPS drop as killer, anykind of game loading also causes a drop.
As survivor its mostly noticable when the killer is about to attempt a hit on you, everything freezes and you can't see until you are hit. Areas with a lot of light also help the FPS drop.
Opening the store sets in the FPS drops until you restart the PS4 entirely, to which it "fixes" back to post 2.0 FPS. The store is the only trigger I could find.0 -
PS4.
All Maps.
Freddy.Mostly happens during chases. The survivors will become erratic, jerky and then boom, the frames start to drop tremendously. Jittery. Like spasms. Happens more often on the cornfield maps.

Which platform are you playing on?
PCWhat map were you playing on?
Every. Even the title/menu screens are now running at 15fps(ish). Previously I've never seen it drop below 60fps.What side were you playing (killer / survivor)?
BothWhat killer was in the game?
AnyWhat actions (ie: dropping a pallet, using a power) were you doing when you experienced the FPS drop?
Constant 15-20fps on the same exact PC that ran it at 60+. Menu, in game, it doesn't matte what I'm doing. Tried dropping the quality to low and had no effect. All the textures also look terrible now, even on Ultra. I haven't played in about 2 months however this is the first time I've run the anti-cheat. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.0 -

Playing as doctor. Fps drop like crazy when I change my stance during the chase. Also, when bloodlust go into level 2 fps drop as well0 -
Any update on when this is getting patched playing killer is the most infuriating thing on Xbox atm playing against survivors who aren’t even good and can’t hit them due to lag is really starting to piss me off! I’m getting to the point of just dcing if I get haddonfield as the map! That map has the worst lag in the game I can’t even get through the houses when in the chase I just get threw into walls constantly.
I also feel feel like if it was survivors lagging this badly the game would have been patched already! I play survivor too and there is hardly any difference from before, maybe a little bit of lag but killer is pathetic!
Also the FPS drops means a survivor can very easily 360 the killer because when they 360 they are already running the other way before the killer even knows! Please! Please! Focus on an optimisation patch for console!1
