How to Fix Stuttering & FPS Drops - Escape from Tarkov | AMD | INTEL | NVIDIA

[@wildgg]

The discord server ( discord.gg/6Utxzsa9wc ) is run by KZbinr Klemintime @klemintime1452 (I highly recommend you check out his channel!), there is a big community active that is always willing to help you out with any pc or performance related issues. Personally I'm very active in this discord so join up if you need any help with Tarkov or other related PC issues.

the game has bad optimization. With such a processor and graphics card, deleting programs and messing with them doesn't help. The equipment is top of the line. No settings change the game's optimization. There is no magic bullet for this game. The game's creators themselves admit that the game is still being optimized, but nothing will be done on the streets. So such videos don't make sense, but I was curious to see what the next person would come up with on their channel

[@wildgg]

Yes the game needs optimizations but if you're experiencing major stutters and FPS drops than these type of videos will help a lot of people. I see people having way lower fps or having major stutter issues daily, and because I saw so many people with these type of issues, I made this video. I'm not aiming or claiming here that this video will increase your FPS by 200FPS because it's simply unrealistic. My aim with this video is to have people run their game as best they can, no matter how bad the game is optimized.

In my system, i5-13600kf RTX 3060 3600mhz ram, disabling fullscreen optimizations introduce a lot of micro-stutters in Arena in borderless mode.

[@wildgg]

I have not played a lot of Arena or tested settings for it in a long time, it's very odd that it creates micro stutters for you. I will put this on the list for a future video on Arena.

@@wildgg Love your content man keep it up! What I was trying to say was some tweaks create different effects for some systems, for example some people run great with H.A.G.S while others have stutters and stuff you know. So imo it's best for people to try each setting seperately.

[@wildgg]

@@themarketgardener Thank you, means a lot! 100% agree with you, I tried to keep it as basic as possible for the sake of a shorter video and also most of these things are easily reversible if needed.

[@x1ks830]

remember full screen reduces input lag

[@zoriiginalx7544]

If you play BORDERLESS leave Disable FSO checked off. That feature was specifically intended for that windowing mode

[@sebastianfuentesorellana]

On the street map, is it recommended to activate the "lower texture resolution for Tarkov streets" option?

[@wildgg]

That would depend on what GPU you have and what Texture quality you currently use. For context: 1. The Lower Streets Texture option lowers your texture quality by one tick, so if your Texture quality is set to high then streets will use medium textures, if texture quality is set to medium then streets will use low textures. 2. The higher the Texture quality is set. the more VRAM (memory on your GPU) the game will allocate and use. If the VRAM usage goes over then what is available, than you're running into the issue I explain @9:05 . Ideally you want to look at the VRAM usage and stay under it's max.

[@Jonathan-Pilkington]

Be careful using DDU. Using it caused severe issues that I can't resolve. My pc completely freezes for 2-3 seconds any time I start an app or game.

[@wildgg]

I highly doubt that was caused by DDU, never heard of freezes related issues caused by DDU.

[@Jonathan-Pilkington]

@@wildgg It happened after I used DDU and restarted my PC.

[@wildgg]

@@Jonathan-Pilkington it's way more likely the new driver you installed that is causing your issues or previous settings you had within the previous driver settings.

[@suvamk]

@@Jonathan-Pilkington I hope you used DDU on safe mode and clicked clean and restart ( highly recommended mode). That is the best way to do it.

[@stan7517]

thx

[@VexxedSR]

Nothing you do will fix bad optimization by the devs, the best way would be to ask them for a refund or go through your bank to get said refund and uninstall the game while purchasing titles that optimize their game well.

[@wildgg]

So if refunding is your best solution, why are you watching tarkov related content? I can't optimize tarkov, that's on BSG. My aim with this video is to have people run their game as best they can, no matter how bad the game is optimized. A lot of people play this game because they enjoy playing it, hopefully this helps them.

[@VexxedSR]

@@wildgg well if BSG won't bother to optimize the game and lots of people using whale rigs complain about the performance then what option is left other than voting with your wallet? I understand people enjoy the game but it's not right that they're charging so much for higher tiers of the game and seemingly doing nothing meaningful with the money. Releasing a game mode that's not even fun to play due to the cheater epidemic and a map that barely runs and breaks every other update is not money well spent in my opinion. Along with the constant server problems causing bad hitreg and desync ever since the game came out being the icing on the cake, makes you really think if they really care or if they're doing the bare minimum to keep the masses from refunding. I was looking at purchasing the game until I did the research and it seems like a waste of money in my opinion. Just was looking if any optimization guides would actually work to slightly skew my interest in the game but it seems like that's not the case sadly.

[@wildgg]

@@VexxedSR I'm not going to argue the current state of the game but from a dev point of view it also doesn't make a lot of sense to start doing a ton on optimizations untill they're out of beta, in their eyes if it can run well enough than that's all they care about. Many people have played this game for years, hell I even got the base version for free and upgraded it later on. There no game out there that feels like tarkov at the moment and that either worth it to you or it doesn't. They definitely made some odd and bad decisions over the years but I don't see why I should not make this video for those who have stutter issues within this game. If you don't want to play this game or have given up on it than that's totally fine, I don't mind helping others out if they encounter major stutter issues because those are fixable even in tarkovs current state. This game is honestly great even with all it's flaws, I would check back every 6 months orso and see where it ends up 👍

[@VexxedSR]

@@wildgg Yea will check it later on and might purchase it but it's just mainly the server issues that have thrown me off. Seems like the only way to solve that would be a complete netcode rehaul or a new engine which are both expensive options to do. I can stand some stutters here and there but in a gunfight I want the game to be as skill based as possible and not random rng chance if your bullets register correctly or not especially with loot and quest items on the line.
