Ever since the last GU i get extremely bad lag/FPS drop after about 40 minutes of game time and i have to log out/back in for it to be normal again. Ive NEVER had this problem in all my 3 years of playing. My PCs more than capable of playing DCUO ill put specs and what ive done so far below , any advice would be great. PC SPECS: OS: Windows 8 64 Bit RAM : 8GB DDR3 Graphics card : Nvidia 470 GTX 1.7GB Internet speed : 100MBPS What ive tried: Validated DCUO launcher assets Cleaned out Graphics card and CPU Turned down graphics Defraged PC Ran full system virus scan Any help would be greatly appreciated. This doesn't happen to me on any other game. Thanks all
You should think about updating your graphics card Edit: I've had no problems with lag Pre-DLC10 but now I do so it might be the game. So, I'm not to sure what's causing it. You should wait to get more opinions until you make a decision
Lag in am mmo is complicated. The sever has to sync all the events as viewed by the clients. for example, often times, lag experienced by client(A) is actually being caused by net-traffic congestion in the routing to client(B) In any case, your system hardware/software config cannot cause net lag. Only your router, nic, isp (and soft/firm warez related to these) can affect the efficiency of your net connection. I have had a few odd lag events in the last week. I have never had lag in this game before. There are many explanations that have nothing to do with my system.
I was going to grab a top end 6/7 series but got myself a PS4 instead , partly for DUCO thinking it would be the same as the PC version , sadly its not. With games like Watchdogs , Batman , LOU remastered , UFC , etc , my PC wont be used for much longer for gaming.
Internet speed vs what your network card says it's "speed" is, are 2 different things. Have you gone to an internet speed test website to check your actually Upload/Download rate of your connection? Besides the Virus scan, have you checked for Adware/Malware on your system also? Malwarebytes is awesome for that.
Bought a new PC last Fall.... and the game ran flawlessly. No lag at all. Not even one bit. But since Amazon Fury... there has been a bit of lag. Most noticable in some of the menu like the crafting menus. Or the spawn rate of the crafting tables in the WT. It used to be that as soon as I would enter a wing.... I would already see the crafting table at the other end of the room..... but now it only spawns once I am about halfway in direction of the table. Not a big deal yet... but it is a noticeable difference. Sadly I expect that as more content gets added... the game will lag more and more. So in game I will experience a bit of lag or lag spikes that was not there before. PC SPECS: OS: Windows 8.1 Processor; Quad Core 3.40GHz RAM : 16GB DDR3 Graphics card : Nvidia 645 GTX 2GB DDR5 Internet speed : 20 MB/s Not sure what you can do. I changed my router during the hollidays and my internet speed went from testing between 13 MB/s to 15.5 MB//s. But with my new router it consistently tests between 19 MB/s and 20 MB/s. Changing router made no difference when playing on PC.... but it had a noticeable difference when playing on PS3. So if you have an old router.... it might help to get a new one?? Although odds are the problems comes from the DCUO servers..... or from the game itself. All I can think of.
My PC is nowhere near as powerful as yours and I have only seen lag when I left uTorrent running in the background. You can download and run MS Network Monitor and see what process are consuming the bandwidth. Otherwise you could launch DCUO and launch Task Manager. Click processes tab and see what's consuming the resources.
Also, to eliminate the router try connecting your PC directly to the cable our DSL modem and see if that improves it.
No lag here but I'm rocking: GTX 680 4gb SSD I7 3930K Big foot card killer(gigabit network card) I'll only lag in PvP even though my internet is 65 down and 20 up.
My last laptop had 500GB of Harddrive and 2GB of RAM so when I say I know lag, I know lag... Consider me the Queen of it. I used Razer Gamebooster, it helped a lot and you can even use it to take videos of your gameplay, but it takes a hefty toll on your FPS(Frames per Second). It even shows the FPS in a corner of your choice so you can see the places that give you the most lag, mine being the Central Hub of the Watchtower. CCleaner helped me out a lot too because it allows you to uninstall things and defeat individual things to reorganize the files.
