Major Lag Spike Late Match

[Shrimp Wheeler]

Guess I'll start posting all the ones I get here. Only fix I really found is to close and reopen the game, because otherwise as seen here it can last for a very long time.

i7-3770 3.40GHz, 16gb RAM, Radeon RX580

match 453660 (geist clips)
-very bad jittering around/rubber banding, unable to perform actions, enemies all visibly fine until I closed game
-2nd clip uncharacteristic frame drops later

match 453876 (yamato)
-common early game poor performance: sustained fps drop. Not this time but often when this happens there is some apparent lag in server receiving client actions (creeps dying well after bullets hit etc)

Shared my detailed experience in the post here: https://project8.dev/threads/cpu-profiling-details-fps-drops.13899/

TLDR: turning on the turbo boost on my CPU helped in Deadlock, though worsened the experience in other games.

unplayable game with near-constant framerate issues. Feels like things were better for a few patches but not as of the last patch or 2.

this seems to be a memory leak. i experience the same in dota2 and cs2 after a couple maps played. running arch linux btw.

when this leak happens to me, it does after around 25 minutes, my solution is to pause, kill the game process via a cli command, then reconnect as soon as possible.

at first i suspected it to be proton related, but your experiences confirm it, it seems to be a source2 bug.

edit: my command. paste it on your cli, or create a custom keyboard shortcut for extra efficiency.

killall -9 MainThrd

edit2: in my cases, before force killing the process, fps would continue dropping all the way down to ~4 fps from constant 75.

this hints at a relation between the performance drop and exhausting resources.

edit3: to add, the leaking seems to be triggered by rapid bursts of particles, at least in my cases.

On the patches where I have this FPS issue, I have it from the start of the match and despite restarting game

I can confirm on Windows. Sometimes I also start to experience drawdowns after I destroy a pack of creeps and a lot of effects from the spheres occur on the screen, but mostly after 30 seconds all the lags disappear. Yes, and this happens very rarely.

I have this exact issue. Smooth, stable 150fps normally, then a few hours into a session (after a match or two) towards the end of the game when we are near the enemy patron, it massively slows down and lags like in the above videos.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
NVIDIA 3060

Makes the game rage-inducingly unplayable when that happens
