    FPS shutters, freezes, drops

    Hello people (and possible Devs),

    I just installed the Full game and played 2 matches of 1v1 (Duel) and I can easily tell that this build of the game runs worse than the beta one.

    In beta I installed the game, went trough the tutorial, played all the game types and everything went smooth ( Auto settings:HIGH) with a small shutter here there, a small fps drop where the players started chopping down the mobs in large masses, but never under 55 FPS.

    Installed the game now, played the tutorial 2 matches of Duel and the FPS never reached 60 with the same Auto settings (high). After seeing this I lowered the settings a little to see if there is any difference (lowered the dynamic shadows, some AA), and the fps now can barley hold the 60 cap (before it was at capped 60 for 80% of the time, now staying on 60 30-45 % of the time, but not lower than 48). With this issue, the game is unplayable for me, having some shutters even with everything on LOW, except the resolution (1920x1080, FullHD).

    It's just me with this "SMALL" issue, or the build is really really bad?

    Note that from the beta till now, the pc wasn't even started. Played the beta till the servers were offline, closed the PC, booted it 2h ago, deleted the beta, preloded the game and booted it after the servers were available, 01:00 AM, GMT+2.

    SPECS:
    MSI Z170-A PRO
    i5 6600k 3.8(OC) GHz
    16 GB DDR4 3000 MHz HyperX Predator
    EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SSC GAMING ACX 2.0+ 4GB
    SSD Hyperx Savage 240 Gb (the game is on SSD, not on the HDD)

    Do you know if there are any beta drivers or any updates specific for this game? Sometimes that helps. Hope you get a fix!

    There are some drivers for the closed beta and there are no new drivers for the "full" game. From the moment the servers went off in open beta till a few hours ago, no changes were made in this PC, no new drivers appeared on nvidia website, so nothing should be different, right? You usually aim for better with each new build, not for worse

    P.S: Played all the closed/open alpha/beta and the settings were always on auto, sometimes with outdated drivers, sometimes with new ones, but it never felt this bad

    I'm having the same experience... Used to be able to play the Open Beta on Extreme with my 980 but now there's hardly any difference between that and Low in FPS.
    Getting 30fps max, average ~15...

    Got kicked from the one match I got into because of <30 fps framerate. What's wrong?

    I did update my Nvidia drivers though right before playing the full release. Was thinking about rolling them back but you didn't update so I don't know.

    Super quick update:

    I actually went ahead and rolled back my drivers and lo and behold, it made a huge difference. I am now able to get ~60fps average.

    For reference, l rolled back in Device Manager from the latest drivers (as of right now 378.49 for my GPU) to driver version 376.53. I would just try grabbing the previous driver version for your specific model. And then wait for the upcoming Game Ready driver!

    Good luck!

    Only if that would be the problem. I had the same driver from closed beta till now. In closed/open i had a smooth gameplay, now it feels like I am playing on Pentium 4..

    Check which drivers you have then? At least I could confirm that was my problem. If you had better performance before maybe something changed in the build to not work with latest drivers?

    The Game Ready-drivers were just released, but I haven't tried them yet. I honestly have been getting great performance, 4k, stable 60fps on Extreme and 50% rendering resolution, which I'm really happy with on a 980. Now if the same thing could have been said for the servers... oh my god.
