BlatMan 718 Posted November 28, 2023 APB has been running terrible since the 11/08/23 patch. When I join a district, I get about 150 to 180 fps, but the fps slowly goes down. At about 80fps average is when it becomes unplayable. It stutters, it's not just low fps. The more players in the area, the lower the fps and the more stuttering. Only difference with my PC after this patch is the OS. I switched from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Other games like Counter Strike Source, Team Fortress 2, Project Zomboid, and Rust, run roughly the same as on Windows 7. The same stuttering occurs running APB through Proton on various Debian based Linux distros. What I noticed is APB has one thread that is constantly pegging one CPU core at 100%. This is not normal behavior. Prior to 11/08/23, APB would have two CPU cores at about 90%. Now, it looks like those cores rarely go over 80%. You can see this in the resource monitor screenshots below. Two cores/threads drop usage when I alt-tab. I'm guessing these are the two rendering threads for APB. CPU 0 keeps spiking to 100%. CPU 2 and CPU 7 drop after alt-tab. CPU 0 stuck at 100%, then it switches to CPU 10. CPU 8 and CPU 11 drop after atl-tab. Various troubleshooting attempts. Hardware: - Increased RAM from 12GB to 24GB (6x4GB, 2133MHz, triple channel quad rank) Drivers: - Updated all drivers. GPU, Chipset, NIC, Nvme, Raid, Audio, etc. - Downgraded Nvidia drivers from 546.17 to 472.12 (Version installed on Windows 7). - Used NVCleanstall to install Nvidia drivers with bare minimum components. (Same config as Windows 7) - Disabled "Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator" driver. This can fix stuttering with some hardware configurations. No difference for me. Software Settings: - Nvidia: Configured Nvidia Control Panel to match Windows 7 configuration. - Disabled Fullscreen optimization for APB.exe. This increased average fps. It did NOT fix the stuttering. APB Configs: - 100% Vanilla. I deleted all .ini files and repaired the game through the launcher. Still stutters. System Specs: - CPU: Xeon W3690 @4.25GHz - RAM: 24GB DDR3 2133Mhz - GPU: Nvidia GTX 1080 Stock clocks - OS: Windows 10 - Storage: Toshiba SSD 480GB (OS) Samsung 960 EVO 500GB (Games) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MACKxBOLAN 435 Posted November 28, 2023 I'm not a techie, and i have a 2 yr old omen with 3060t and ryzen 5700 i beleive. although i haven't played much, when i do, it seems allot laggier than before. of course I chalked that up to hackers lag switches, ect. As far a fps goes, they capped fps at 128 or so, and i wouldn't attempt to fool with anything at the risk of eac ban. So with out turning this into a rant about the false flag eac, I just want to confirm that it has been Laggy with heavy spikes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
