I know the dx12 instability has been a pain... but I don't think I've ever played a Ubi PC game that was excellent all around.
They're always buggy or overly cpu intensive thanks to their needless drm on top of drm
This is pretty funny. Right after I praise Ubi ports... it looks like this update screwed up my game.
It's taking a very long time to boot up the game now.... like 5 minutes just to get to the start up screen.
From my experience that damn Uplay client causes a lot of those issues. Some users reported that deactivate all of the overlay features and reduce the priority of process in the scheduler has helped them to reduce the crashes ...
Anyone else having this issue where it takes up a long time to start? It didn't take this long before.
Yep noticed that too. My friend also noticed and mentioned the same thing while his game was loading.
Is this game just horribly optimized? I've turned down the intensive settings, and it still hangs around 58ish FPS while not moving. Even changing from 4k to 2k had almost no impact on FPS on my 2080. That....doesn't seem to make sense
9700k
I'll check again, but I don't recall seeing the CPU usage maxed when I was running w/ overlays.
Something is limiting your fps. Check your GPU usage. Make sure that you don't have any fps limiter active. I'm getting 77 fps in game's benchmark on my 2080 in 2560x1600 with all maxed out. And my 6850K is certainly slower than your 9700K.
Man... still nothing about the DX12 crashing? It's noticeably smoother on my end, so it's a total bummer that I'm still getting the occasional crash. Seems to happen lot when I start checking out inventory and such.
The long start period of the game is fixed? Not be able to check for myself as I am on business travel.
Nope. Someone said it is worse, but I can't tell since it already takes a long time. Not sure how this got pass the patch testing.
It can take 5-6 minutes for me to get to the log-in screen atm.
Wow, they explicitly said they would provide a fix for it in that very maintenance yesterday.
It does not load though, it's "waiting", I don't know what the game is doing at launch, very low CPU usage and no disk activity.
Once ingame the SSD benefits are still there.
I am doing this from a SSD and it takes a minute until the game becomes present on the screen. I measure the minute between the start of the anti cheat service and the first black screen that actually tells me the game is really starting. Very weird behavior.
Yup. Turned off V-Sync and benchmark now shows ~90. Strange it can't hold 60 w/ Vsync on.
The starting of the game while there is still a delay between the anti-cheat tool and the actual start of the game is fixed for me now. Back to the old way of starting ...
So, can't get 60fps and 4k with everything highest with a 2080ti, i5 [email protected] and 32GB 3200mhz RAM. Now of course if I tweak I can get that, mainly by dropping Volumetric fog. But the trees in this game really hit the fps. Changing vegetation settings doesn't seem to affect them only stuff like grass and bushes. Set to low and it looks too ugly.
Now, when will DX12 be fixed? Crashing constatnly on my laptop though admittedly better on my desktop. Still a bloody pain.

I made the experience the game is reacting to overclocking in a bad way. If you drive your GPU at modest settings I run into zero issues unless I try to hard with my OC.
Yes, oc'ing runs the risk of ctd'ing. I had that experiance with my old 1080ti. My laptop however is all stock though and doesn't hit 99% of my gpu usage ever. It's just randomly crashing and it's impossible for me to find the cause. And it wasn't always like this. Initially it was fine. But after the newest drivers and game updates seems to have become unstable on my laptop. Frustrating.
I did not get a single stutter since the patch, I could see my friend lag sometimes, like when he was having stutters/freezes, but he told me he did not stutter.
So it may have been tied to network, but now it's decoupled from the render, thus no more stutter ?
Still getting stutters here, supposedly this problem was in division 1 too and people changed cpu affinity to fix it, sadly you can't do it on d2.
Specs:
I5-6600k stock
Evga 1070 ftw
16gb ram
And the game is on an nvme ssd.
My character seems to freeze for like 5 seconds randomly and I end up almost dying. Looks like a texture streaming issue or something. No other problems with any other games and I have solid gb internet that has so problems anywhere else.

I'm still manually closing EAC each time to prevent the hitches. was getting some massive drops with it running in the background. Seems better without.
You can still change the affinity through task manager.

Have the problems with NVIDIA and DX12 crashes been fixed yet? I ended up putting this game by the wayside since my wife's system was never stable on DX12, and DX11 was stuttery.
I play in DX11 since launch (only tried DX12 during the beta), I only said I did not have any stutter since the update.
I haven't played in a week or so, but was running smooth for me on DX12. No crashes and pretty stable performance.
Thanks for the update. I will download and try it out. My fps is generally locked at 60 but I still get those occasional stutters which is annoying.
Just played for about an hour and my stuttering seems to be gone during the time I played. I was getting them every 15 minutes or so before the driver update and had zero in my hour of playtime. I am going to try enabling DX12 next. I was getting the stuttering significantly more often when using DX12 so I will test it out next.
EDIT: I am still getting the DX12 stuttering but it is not nearly as frequent as it was but back to DX11 I go.
