Game is increasingly unplayable since VoH / S6

Prior to VoH, I ran my game (PC) on a mix of Medium and High settings, with no restriction on FPS and Ray tracing turned off. The biggest issue I had was teleporting into busy areas would DC me, so I disabled Cross Connect until I needed people. :slight_smile: This was my configuration the day before release and it was working great. A bit of lag while on a horse, but nothing unmanageable.

Post upgrade, once we were able to play on the 7th/8th, I’ve been plagued with lag and disconnects. The game forced me to upgrade my video card driver before I could play to a version released a week prior. I can’t play without the updated driver. I’ll come back to this.

To attempt to fix the performance issues, I changed my D4 graphics settings to Low with a max FPS of 60, and that seemed to help a bit. Unfortunately, it continued getting progressively worse. I tried 48 FPS last night, but even that changed nothing. I also make sure OneDrive is paused when I play and verify that my virus scan still has its exceptions in place. Nothing else is actively running on my PC. At this point, I can no longer play the game.

To make matters worse, I’ve also had multiple random Nvidia-related blue screens since the upgrade, even outside the game. All I can do is laugh. Laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh. If you made it all the way through, I’m sorry. I assume you’re having the same issues. Maybe someone will have an idea we haven’t already tried?

Edit: I was very tired when I finally submitted this. That last paragraph was fully of typos. lol Fixed.

You can force the game to run with an older driver.

Sure it will complain the first time you launch if its outdated, but it will run on it.

Mine is running on a driver from January. Game complained about it being old, but that’s all that has happened. Plays fine otherwise.

See if you can roll back your driver and try that. If you haven’t yet.

Sometimes that works sometimes it doesn’t. You can also use tools to help you remove it and any leftover updated bits using DDU. (Display Driver Uninstaller)

Their website has instructions, just follow them and you should be fine.

It is occurring on playstation too. I cannot get into a flow, crashes around 5 out of 10 times I teleport to another zone, I thought they would have fixed this by now. on ps5 and ps4 happens all the time. great company with no support to fix a really serious issue.

Oh, I’ll try this! I think I was just so anxious to play the game that I blindly followed instructions. ha Thanks!
