Jmonkey 0 Posted November 6, 2019 My fps idles around 40 and hits 10-30 while driving or in combat. Going from high settings to low didn't make a difference. Even the game's main menu lags. I tried using the advanced launcher, but that didn't help either and actually caused more problems. Like before I get pick my initial spawn point, the screen is half dark with jibberish text, and a tutorial testing text message. Another time, Anti-cheat kicked me out even before that screen saying authentication timed out. My latency is usually 15-30 Specs are, Windows 7 64-bit AMD FX 4100 3.6 Ghz Nvidia GTX 750 ti 16gb ram Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heelruby 66 Posted November 6, 2019 Just by looking at your specs, I'd suggest you to upgrade your CPU as it even bottlenecks your 750 Ti Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jmonkey 0 Posted November 6, 2019 Surprised APB is such a spec heavy game. I used to run it on a lot older hardware. Seems odd when my PC can handle a lot more intensive games too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thornecroft 55 Posted November 6, 2019 It's hard to tell at the moment, just a week ago I averaged 90-110fps. After the recent changes, I don't even have constant 60+. (R7 1700 & 5700). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(R7 1700 & 5700). There are still some massive performance issues with DX9 on the RX 5700 series. Are you getting a lot of stutters or just low fps ?

In the last few days, it's low fps, not many stutters at all. Previously, it was just stutters. I may switch out back to my 580 cause it's the same performance in APB.

Kinda hurts me to say that but yes you'd be better off using your 580 until AMD fixes DX9 performance (that's regarding the stutters and the alt tabbing issues). Though I'm not experiencing low fps myself, just massive stutters, ever since I got my 5700. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shame there are still issues with Navi, it's great in every other title. Still lower fps than I'd like, but I'm attributing that to APB variance Edited November 6, 2019 by Thanahr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The latest, though it was the same with the previous. Switched to my 580 and it's back to 100+. Looks like it was just down to Direct X 9 support on Navi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yea, Dx9 is still meh on Navi :c Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jmonkey 0 Posted November 10, 2019 After reinstalling, just using normal launcher, medium settings, and smooth freerate and vsync off, I was getting good fps. This was also just after the Halloween event had ended, so that might have been a factor. Main menu was smooth and fps was 90 idle and 40-60 in combat for 2 nights in a row. Tonight was a little janky for some reason, but still playable Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I come back and my FPS drop from 62 to 42 every about 10-20 seconds. So I'm not the only one? Was there some patch or something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
