after attempting to play the update all day, despite a full reinstall, despite updating drivers and everything in between, the game still lags upon firing any weapon, or rendering anything new such as damage effects. it still lags upon getting close to enemy mechs as well. it also lags when rapidly pressing through the timeline skip menu to get my mechs repaired, or traveling from planet to planet.

there are no mods running. i've never used them. my specs are solid, as this game used to run flawlessly before the kestrel lancers update.

part of me suspects the new melee system is at fault, as enemy mechs are constantly scanning to determine if they are in range to use melee weapons. the FPS drops are especially bad when i get into MG range, as they will slow everything to a crawl until the MG user is dead. gauss rifles will drop the FPS by 15 points upon firing, and quickly scoot back up after the sparks have cleared.

I am pretty sure a 2070 with 4GB Ram does not exist.
The RAM seems slow.

Is by chance RTX enabled?

Not slow, might just be a misreport as seen at this link.

Glad I did not buy DLC yet, like too many gaming products more and more new releases are not working as good on release day.

When is this industry trend going to stop?

That will stay as long there will be internet for day one patches...and a high turnover rate of experienced but exhausted folk for enthusiastic but unexperienced folk.

Learning by doing means erring while learning!

RTX is disabled.

I found this older "Performance Fixes" in the net, maybe something is in there that may help you:

I'm suddenly facing dramatically reduced performance. Stuttering when firing weapons. Also when switching mechs which I sort of understand, but I had no issues before the new DLC. Is there a known optimization issue? I've tried all sorts of tweaks with limited success.

Do you guys run the game by chance on the EPIC launcher?

The word on the streets is that thing has many problems and kills FPS left and right...

sadly my copy is on epic

[Thorqemada]

Have you been in contact with the support of MWO?

technical@mw5mercs.com

Tell them your issue, mention if they can investigate if its a MW5 or EPIC issue and ask what can be done about it.
Maybe they know already something...



PS: Should go to MW5 support and not MWO support

Should also contact Epic.

[OmgKllL]

I have this problem too, I've already pointed out to the mw5 support email the issue.

Again, before the Kestrel Lancers patch everything was running smoothly, it's unlikeliable an Epic Launcher related issue.

As someone who's used the game via EGS since launch, I can tell you that's pretty much a load of BS.

Playing the game with Epic launcher and without I have to differance in performance.

@Damian
Have you tried to set everything to low in the graphic settings? Now with MW5 but with other titles I had sometimes a single option that takes up so much performance without makeing the game looking any better.
Its annoying to fiddle around with it but when you set everything to low and turn DLSS and RTX off then the problem lies most likely somewhere else as the game should run smooth with those settings.

Also are you forceing any kind of things through your graphic card drivers like AA? I would in general turn that off and only use it on games don't support that specific option.
