Grahckheuhl.7549 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 something is causing huge game pauses in north dwc near the frost citadel area when using environment settings other than low. i have already tried removing arc and doing -repair and the issue is unchanged. this started happening with the patch on the 23rd. all other zones i have been in so far do not have any issue at high settings. CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K @ 3.60GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerwalk.1320 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Just like to add to this. Just got done doing North with as group of about 20. Everyone was complaining of 2-5 second freezes. The game sound, screen and controls all freeze up completely. Then you're good until it happens again. Never had a problem before the recent update. Something with the update caused this, not your PCs fault. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunch Monkey.3095 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Having the same issue. Multiple people on map complaining of lag spikes in north lasting anywhere from 2 to 5 seconds, sometimes multiple times in a row. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm, seen this too (multiple people reporting experiencing the same). Particular areas I notice it happening more consistently is on the way from Frostvein to Drizzlewood Peak encampment after killing last tribune. And in the citadel room with the big tank. Complete game freeze for a few seconds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siennamisa.3125 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Also having this issue! So is my partner, we are both in Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotveg.5108 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Having the same issue. Didn't happen until two patches back. This is extremely problematic and makes it basically impossible to do the meta without pulling your hair out. Happens extremely frequently in the Frost Citadel, and begins happening as soon as you reach Frostvein. Starts calming down the moment you get away from blood, fighting the Claw of Jormag. My guess is the game's having trouble rendering Jormag's blood, but I genuinely have no idea besides that. Pretty thematic the Elder Dragon of Ice would cause game freezes. 😀 Edited August 31, 2022 by Dotveg.5108 Typos and missing words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaustere.8073 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Just want to add that I have been experiencing this problem as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juriasti.8297 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I'm seeing this as well. It seems to have started after updating graphics drivers. Nvidia GeForce 516.94. I may rollback if this persists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadsport.8714 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Adding to this, and to clarify it's not network latency lag, it's a client-side performance issue, but it's only happening in Drizzlewood. The entire game just hangs (visually) for a few seconds, then continues normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedJacK.3247 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Same, massive 2-5 second full freeze randomly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexDragon.9581 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I'm also getting it. The game generally runs around 60 fps for me otherwise. I've linked a DxDiag log. https://pastebin.com/aCdEwSjs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigerk.2897 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Same here, lots of people on the map are saying the same. Only in the north part it seems and only on that map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pheex.8932 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 The assault on the citadel has almost every player hard freezing for 2-20 seconds constantly. I mean total lock ups. Constantly. This is not lag or loading things in on the gpu. The GPU literally drops to 0% usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witch of Steam.5138 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I did some digging around and COuldn't find it anywhere But Drizzlewood north has been notorious for a while for hardcrashing people's Clients ( And games) Due to some graphical .. something or other that's been happening. I wanted to know if it was safe to farm drizzlewood or not beccause that's my primary Mystic Clover Source. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fueki.4753 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) I doubt they'll ever be able to fix anything about it. In my experiences, the lags mostly happened due to the excessive amounts of particle effects and bright colours. These aren't just coming from the players, but also the icy surroundings. Given that they seem to love excessive particle effects to a degree that isn't exactly healthy for a game, I can't see them fixing this reason for lag. And since the game is hosted on Amazon Web Servers, I doubt they can upgrade the servers to handle the particle effects better.

Labjax.2465 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I'm not aware of hard crashes. Just intermittent freezes. But you can try turning environment to low. I tried that on someone else's recommendation and it seems to stop full freezes from happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why is this a thing Now I used to run North Drizz without issues all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
