Performance issues

[SonoShinda]

Middle of the map:
Being in or looking towards the blue lane instantly visibly reduces your framerate.

UI Issues
Certain UI elements being on screen causes obvious FPS drops. Characters saying voice lines, Opening the tab menu, Kills appearing on the killfeed. These all cause the game to begin to lag

This. I want to enjoy this patch, but my overall performance took a massive hit. I can no longer hold anything above 90 FPS; constant dips to less than 50 FPS when I previously held over 144FPS. Team fights look like a buffering video, and opening the leaderboard causes my game to freeze for a second.

Definitely first noticed it in blue lane as well. I hadn't changed my settings since the patch and the game was running noticeably worse - I used to average 120 and it was dipping to 90 or thereabouts. Using a 265k/9070 on Linux.

There is ALOT of stuttering mid-late game anywhere on the map. Team fights are unplayable as it somehow gets way worse. I have never had this problem this severely.

Ok so I think they started using DLSS 4.5 which despite looking nicer, takes a heavy hit on performance for older RTX cards. If yall wanna give it a try, this has improved my frame rate and makes gameplay feel smoother.

open the NVIDIA App, on the sidebar, Graphics > Deadlock, under Driver Settings > DLSS Override - Model Presets > Custom > Super Resolution > Preset F.

This is without any changes:


And this is with Preset F selected:



Hopefully this helps some of you.

Thanks for the hint, I'm playing on Transformer/Quality and I think preset K should be the right one for me. Preset K is the "old" DLSS 4.0 Transformer preset. Preset F should be the default preset for Ultra Performance and DLAA modes.

I already tested the new DLSS 4.5 in the previous update when it was still in beta. Due to poor performance and noticeably worse FPS, I switched back to the DLSS 4 model again. So it makes sense that there might be issues now if they updated it in the latest patch.

If you also check the NVNGX_DLSS.DLL, you can see that it’s currently version 310.5.0.0, which is the latest DLSS 4.5 release.

Seconding this bug report with similar issues. Anything besides being on a side lane and looking towards the outside of the map brings me down to 5-10 fps. I am on a laptop with no nvidia.
I didn't notice additional lag due to UI issues.

Match ID: 51601443 I assume the replay won't show the lag, but you can at least see the areas I was staying in and where I was looking.

Thank you, you're right. K is good. I originally tested both J/K, but forgot I had DLAA on instead of DLSS so I was getting less FPS. I changed it to DLSS, then closed the game and swapped to Preset F so it looked like it was performing better. Also nice, I didn't even think to check the dll.

game is just unplayable after this update
endless stuttering

Same exact thing, only in bot matches the game has a few moments where it seems to run smooth regardless of camera direction for like 1-2 mins and then goes back to 10fps, exploring the map runs without problems.
I did notice that tab reduced my fps (when i had more than 10) on the first time but nothing else.

Update: The bug went away for part of a game, then came back. I made a separate thread for that occurrence.

Thread 'Performance issues while looking towards and being at the center of the map - went away, then came back.'

Sunday at 7:00 AM

This is an update to this bug thread, I felt this was unusual enough to make another thread for this specific occurrence. The first game I played today I had the bug. However, for the beginning of the second game the bug and performance issues went away, until partway through round 3 when they came back.

Having the same problem. 4070 with Intel Ultra 9. Prior to the patch, I was averaging 200 fps in-game, whereas after the patch my system is struggling to average 60. Other games completely unaffected.
In the lobby I still get 150-250fps, but as soon as I load into the main map it immediately tanks to ~50fps.

For people experiencing stutters:
I started force closing the game with task manager as soon as matchmaking finds a game. I then open the game and rejoin as soon as the button to rejoin the game appears. (skipping pre compile shader cache shenanigans and whatever the game loads on the hub)

Minimal stutters, game is playable again
Not sure if this is placebo and the stutters are mostly gone because of todays mini-patch, but i will keep doing it since its working.

give that a try
force close game with task manager when matchmaking finds a match, open game and rejoin as soon as possible

I haven't had to many FPS problems but my ping will sometimes shoot up and it jitters like crazy.

I tried this method, the first time it didn't work and the second two times i didn't get the option to rejoin. hopefully those aren't counted as me leaving games; anyone else who tries this method be aware that might happen.

 

[playeremers]

the second two times i didn't get the option to rejoin.

that should not happen if matchmaking found a match
even if game crashes on loading or you force quit, if matchmaking found a match, you still have a minute or two to join

I got a performance issue too, with major frame drops not just in blue lane, but practically every lane. It seems that looking from the Hidden King's side to Arch Mother causes the most frame issues, but Arch Mother to Hidden King is mostly stable. It may have to do with the additional tunnels added under the map.

Can any of you open up the console and see if this message pops up? I want to see if anyone has the same results (This MIGHT help narrow it down, I THINK. Not sure if this helps... or if the developers can even do anything about it...)

When I'm facing away from the center and not experiencing the lag, I can see that in the console. When I'm lagging, the console spams "[Client] server acknowledged to slot 9 client only predicted into 6 slots, full repredict will occur" at an incredible pace. It will do one pair (eg. 9, 6) of numbers for ~10 messages and then change to a new pair of numbers.
