Hey,

Since nobody is actually caring to respond to you. Here's a suggestion on what you can do.

Thank you @Infinito. 

This is the best thing you can do to help us track down the issue. Please send both your logs and your latency tests my way if you have suddenly gotten stuttering/latency spikes recently (detailed instructions are in the linked post).

Did you install any new games recently, specifically ones that use Xigncode3, like PUBG, Valorant or Black Desert Online? They install an invasive anticheat that runs as a driver, and causes performance problems in other games. You can try disabling the service and removing the xhunter1.sys file from C:\Windows

 

It could also be anything else, like a fan in your PC stopped working and your system is overheating.

bro requires atleast 256gb of ram to play apb above 60 fps with no stuttering... and u need i11 processor

No stutters here, but I did have them when I switched pc. Tried reinstalling? Fixed it for me some months ago, as well as some other minor things

I mean if you want proof that it was the patch on Saturday then here.

Hi,

It might be the patch did not take well, and u are missing some components.

If u play trough steam try verify cache. If that does not help, reinstall the game, this will give u a clean slate, and properly install the game.

Also update your drivers!!!

If that does not work i fear the new patch does not take well with ur pc , try using the advanced launcher for APB, and set ur graphics more personal !

cant have lower graphics than this maybe you are idiot.

APB has no lag just like it has no cheaters, only silver noob with slow PC would think apb is laggy or is even more laggy since LO updates

[Nafryti 43]

here's the updates i got from my post in the social about this issue that i've been having since Beta gameplay:

"Oh APB is laggy and unstable? wow thats news?? quit crying." -unhelpful troll #1 (2 through 10 were basically the same)

"Please DM me the /latencytest report so we can get on it" -Staff member actually helping

"You could try lowering settings, editing your memory pool, changing garbage cleanup values" -several helpful players

 

All in all, i'm surprised there are so many angry people who play the game with minimal effort to get it to run well, then turn around and scold people who get the issue suddenly after an update or event.  Like i get it, you really hate the game and would rather see it crash and burn as opposed to be ironed out and turned into something great, but by playing it, you're enabling the opposite to happen, so... jokes on you troll.  As for the rest of those who really do care about the game and those who play it, these issues are new and not long recurring ones, so do not be dissuaded by the pizza faced boys here, their only goal is to ruin APB for others.

 

That being said, i did manage some solutions that will not work for all.  It appeared that the higher performance the hardware was, it MUCH improved gameplay experience.  I managed a barely stable OC to my RAM increasing it from 2666 to 3000 which brought my FPS up by 30 and the pairing of that with my OC CPU the hiccups i experienced were minor when they occurred.  This did not fix players teleporting around like Nightcrawler though, but that is to be expected of their 200ms latency while i'm sitting at 20ms West, 80ms East.  

 

Note: Even reinstalling the game completely did not fix this issue for me.  Settings don't change FPS for me at all, and i cannot play on potato graphics, though this is borderline potato at Maximum +8x AA with Nvidia enhancing it too.

Can confirm.

Having really heavy stutters every 5 mins, sometimes even getting disconnected because of it, and all i do is playing social.

Never had anything like that in 10 years of this game.

Hey @Gro, did you try reinstalling and/or the steps mentioned by other users, such as @Nafryti? I haven't experienced issues yet myself, but I keep on hearing about them, would be curious to know if it works for you. good luck:)

[BlatMan 717]

I have a GTX 1080. I updated the graphics driver to the latest (451.67) and it caused my GPU's memory clock to be stuck at the slowest speed. I reverted back to the previous driver and it went back to normal. Maybe the same is happening for you.

while i do understand that this is a valid issue, i believe xigncode or Riot vanguard isnt the issue here, battleye does also install a driver just as the other two mentioned AC's, idk about PUBG if it uses any of those i dont play pubg, but i do have Valorant and BDO installed and use them on a regular basis and these stutters does not exist on my setup, Ryzen 5 2600, RX 5600XT, 32gb @ 3222

Don't think that would solve anything.

It feels like cpu issue in the game. Maybe has something to do with eac, didn't have it year ago with eac though.

Reading on Reddit and other game forums it's usually the user's antivirus + that anticheat that causes the stutter. In all seriousness though idk how xigncode does not violate EU privacy laws.

i have a 1070 Ti from EVGA and its a Reference design card, it sometimes gets pretty toasty, but it gets hotter in other games that utilize it far more.  The Clocks have not changed for me, could just be a bad update for your specific 3rd Party PCB Layout, i suggest checking their website for a fix/update rather than letting GeeForss Eggspearianss haphazardly fling driver pies at your HDD hoping they work.  (Apologies if you don't.)

The behavior is more like HDD stumbling, and I keep telemetry running on my 3 other monitors to keep a close eye on system performance, and i'm sad to say the usage of the GPU is getting lower and lower as time goes on after Beta.  Just couple nights ago it was barely over 20%  I recently boosted the executable SPECIFIC settings to enhance applications AA by 8x and no change in visual details, and lower GPU usage, NO OTHER RESOURCE increased.  HDD activity is incredibly low, CPU rarely goes over 50% while playing, and i'm more inclined to think its a PCIe lane hiccup cuz my Wifi Adapter goes dead for activity during the same time as the GPU activity drops during stutter.  Sure its all on the PCIe bus, but, they should be on their own dedicated lanes... the only thing that shares a lane is with the GPU and its the ASUS XG-C100F but the interface is PCIe3 x4, even if it did share with the GPU, it wouldn't make any noticeable impact, and considering it didn't in the past, there's no reason it should now after playing Beta.  Purely speculation, but since the PCIe Lanes are on CPU for Ryzen, and i feel like only Ryzen users are feeling this issue... could it be a microcode error triggered by something in the engine in Beta?  Wouldn't that be something, AMD's first security flaw, Intel's been hit hard by these... Might be worth investigating Lil-Orbees!
