[@Giakkons_Sev]

Shader Model 5, as far as I know (I'm always developing on 5, not touching the previous since ages, so I'm going with my memory) has way more freedom over shader construction, this includes more texture samples usable in the same material, which as example means more customisation. As example, the fact that dynamic decals in RL are not customisable over the material texture (fur, carbon, etc) I think is a matter of usable textures amount. Let's say that a standard decal uses a texture as mask to define the double color split, then each one of the colors uses a diffuse texture, a normal map and a roughness map (let's say they avoided the specular) so we are already up to 7 used "slots". If a dynamic decal requires 2 or more slots for the animations then we are over the 8 which might be the limit. That's the story in short, cannot be sure but it's my best guess

The term Shader Model in the context of a game engine like Unreal or Unity is used to describe a set of features (the feature set of the DirectX Shader Model). By saying that a platform supports a specific Shader Model the developers generally mean that the platform supports all (or most) of the features of the DirectX Shader Model and that it is easy to convert the shaders from DirectX to that platform.

For the one I’m gonna get I don’t know I’m only 13 what I’m planning to do is work for my grandpa until I got a good bit of money if you wanna recommend something the most demanding game I wanna play is rust so if you know what it’ll take to get that running on 60fps please tell me :) and i think I’m gonna wait till Christmas so stuff will be on sale and my parents can help me pay for it too so I think the most I can spend on a pc is $250 or so but I also have a friend that is good with computers so I can ask them if you have no idea or just don’t feel like spending time

[@nathacle]

@@erniebarguckle I don't mean to be the soul crusher here but if your total budget is $250 (assuming USD) then I think you may struggle when buying new. The only way I can envision you being able to do it for $250 would be buying an old used prebuilt PC and swapping in a used graphics card that meets the minimum requirements. Even then, I'm not all too familiar with the used market and prices so not too sure about the graphics card prices, but to be playing rust at a stable 60fps 1080p you're going to need a relatively modern GPU, and so prices will be higher. If I were in your position, I would try to save up a bit more money if possible. It might be a bit frustrating I know but it'll make a world of difference if you can invest in some better parts.

Almost 1 year later, and see.. no one of the DX11 lag issues has been solved, and, season 3 has officially ended DX9 support. You cant even launch the game with dx9. I am unninstalling Rocket League. I hope Psyonix breaks if they dont fix the dx11 issues.

[@gmb893]

I have an older computer and just upgraded my graphics card recently. The game stutters at the start of every match when it should run on max graphics settings easily. I thought there were some compatibility issues with the graphics card and my other parts but maybe DX11 is part of the problem.

[@luckyankraj]

Even with a good system... What you missed is higher power draw for the same level of performance. That is a legitimate concern for me since I went from 35-40 watts on the gpu to 175 watts for 1080p 60 and this is on a vega64.There is definitely optimization work to be done by psyonix , especially on amd side of things

[@keithkaranu4258]

Besides thermals why would someone care about power consumption?

[@ErnieZee]

Shader Model 5 is like the name suggest, shading feature from Unreal Engine which Rocket League uses for rendering. UE is cross platform and shader model 5 is available on all platforms except mobile. On Windows it's only available since DX11 that's why they need to bump the version.

Hey Halfwaydead, I've noticed that when enabling controller vibration on my wireless (bluetooth) Xbox One controller, I tend to get a frametime spike every time I jump or boost (so when the vibration occurs).

[@SkinnyMidwest]

Were your performance issues isolated to FPS only or were you experiencing stuttering as well? Any effect on how your car behaved?

[@DarkSansTV]

Hmm, it would seem that DX11 has some optimization issues unlike DX9, where as before I turned it off, I would get a measly 80 fps in game (because of my laptop peeking) now I get an incredible 100-120 fps, a big jump in fps only because I switched back to DX9. tbh, I'll just keep it like this. Also, I do know that when the time comes I'll be forced to switch back.

[@Ghareonn]

They say the performance is the same, but Rocket League used to not even make my graphic card's fan spin. Now, everytime I play I have them running at max speed as if I were playing a freaking triple A game title at ultra settings.

[@dereksevcik6595]

Hello, I believe one thing every PC player can do to reduce their input lag while using DX11 is to go into their Program Files (x86) --> Steam --> steamapps --> common --> Rocket league --> Binaries --> Win64 --> Right click RocketLeague.exe --> Properties --> Compatibility --> ensure "Disable Fullscreen optimizations" is indeed checked --> Apply --> Ok... I believe that those who do this should see input lag results identical to those who use directx9 :)

[@SuprizePlayz]

Anyone having issues with DX11 (stutters, lagging etc..), can switch back to DX9 on Steam! (I think you need to go to Parameters and type "-dx9" or something along this line)

i can still run it with around 100 fps (dx11) on a card thats worse than the 760. so those specs are clearly not right...except they do massive graphical changes soon. then i can basically quit rocket league because i'm not upgrading my laptop for a while. the performance on dx11 is still a joke.

You do know monitors cant display more than 240 either way so besides it annoying you theres really no deficit to performance.

EpicGammes frame drops at any level are noticeable. my point is that i was previously getting stable fps on dx9, and i’m no longer getting stable fps on dx11 even with their recommended hardware.

bro can you do a video on ping, maybe you could find a way to get consistent ping, which would be huge. I‘ve realised that consistency is everything. Part of the reason middle east players are so good and people like okhalid dominate the leaderboard is because they get more consistent ping than people in eu. They may get higher ping but 70-100 ping is more consistent than 10-40 ping, i would rather always get 50 ping than 10-50. I‘ve done the same with my framerste and it helped alot, before i used to get 200-240 fps, but now i set the cap to 200 and its much better.

Now we just need better netcode that will stop phantom hits from appearing in the game.

[@HAZARDOUS88]

That's not netcode. That your internet or server issues.

[@jkdubya85]

All I know is when I switched it to run to DX11 the game runs way better for me.

[@matt-cw6ei]

After a new update my alt+tabbing took way longer.

I don't know what's going on with rocket league at the moment but the servers are absolutely terrible for me. My WiFi is quite bad however I can play games like fortnite etc just fine and I used to be able to play rocket league just fine. However, now I can barely play one online game without glitching through the ball etc..

[@CCSABCD]

The servers suck since forever, they are so erratic, some days it's great, some day it sucks, some days it's unplayable.

[@allan.n.7227]

I have a Radeon Pro 580. Performance is MUCH worse in Dx11.. so I naturally use -dx9... Guess I have to enjoy the game until dx11 update is forced upon me and make the game unplayable...

[@echo9082]

Why are you using a pro card. Are you able to access the normal gaming drivers or are you stuck on workstation ones? I'm using a Vega 64 and get similar fps with better stability on the new api.

[@luckyankraj]

@@echo9082 wait what ? Did you check the power draw. Its way too high now for the same performance as on dx9 with my Vega64. Its not optimized tbh

[@echo9082]

@@luckyankraj I play on a desktop with an 850w psu so power drain isn't a concern

[@luckyankraj]

@@echo9082 since these are already hot cards, I'd like them to have parity with the performance in dx9 with similar or slightly higher power draw. Right now it's an unoptimized mess. Why work the cards harder than they should. Not all dx11 games are this badly optimized ... Its like they are just rushing through for the EGS release where they'll make dx11 the default.

[@pszych2445]

Wait does rocket league run on epic games servers now or still psyonix servers?

[@luckyankraj]

Since their servers are as bad as ever. I'm guessing its still the old servers. Their routing is weird.

[@jnevercast]

Still Psyonix afaik, they use Amazon Web Services

[@itsliightz]

Now you are forced t oplay on Dx11 and its very laggy. Other games work fine.

[@anothernoob9110]

I just recently tried to get back into the game after almost a year of not playing and have reinstalled like 3 times now, tried multiple fixes like unchecking steam cloud, deleting the option settings so it gets resetted to default, trying to run the game with launch options like -dx9 and -windowed and nothing works... I will comeback a few months later and see if this continues, I have a ton of ther games to play aswell if after all that effort the game doesn't even open(nor show up on Task Manager), much less crash after that.

[@shakob4875]

I'm experiencing crazy fps stutters regularly, going from 200+ fps to between 5 and 15 for a brief moment. I run a gtx 1060 and an i5 7760 3ghz as well as 16gbs of 3000mhz ram. Anyone got suggestions?

[@Lenguine00]

My fps was weird to, I uninstalled the game then reinstalled and it fixed it for me.felt like I was on a 60hz monitor again, it sucked.
