Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Game optimization

My game keeps lagging and stuck a bit sometimes. Even I did the suggested options, its still laging. I think maybe its have to do with texture rendering/loading while Im clearing the fog of war? I hope you Larian Studios can help this out.

A bit of specifics won't hurt, what's your rig to begin with?

My rig is gaming MSI Laptop
I7-7700HQ 2.80GHz
4GB RAM
NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1050

Thanks for commenting. I just really like this game, but cant enjoy it even in low graphic setting :(

Hi,

Make sure that the game is using your GTX GPU and not your integrated GPU.
You should be able to change it under the games graphics settings, otherwise you'll need to force the laptop to use the right one.

but the weird thing is, I played the early access before, and its the same texture and graphic like the full game, and I played the game with full graphic setting and it run perfectly! :( but now...it lags so much and stuck sometimes. oh, and theres no option for the gpu except mine, and i always use it in early access and full game.

Agreed with Nutti,

Be sure that the GTX 1050 is the one used for running the game and not the integrated GPU.

If problems persist, try to update the GPU driver, might help.

Hi,

Open up your NVIDIA Control Panel, navigate to 3D Settings->Manage 3D Settings.
Select the "Global setttings" options, and under Preferred Graphics Processor select the High performance NVIDIA processor option.

This will force your laptop to use the dedicated GPU.

If that doesn't work, you can try right-clicking on the games EXE and selecting "Run with High performance NVIDIA processor."

If that doesn't work, download the latest drivers off nVidia's website.^
Do a complete removal of your drivers, then reinstall.

If *that* doesn't work .. hit it with a hammer. **


** Not really. Though I am not responsible for any damage to your computer if you do do this.

thank you, brother. I will try your way, but will it lower the graphic of the game? cuz I like it high and pretty since I can run it full graphics in early access, but thanks for your suggestions! :)

You're welcome.

No, it won't lower your graphics. The intention is purely to ensure that the game is using the correct GPU, and that your drivers are up-to-date.
If we're positive all is okay on that front and it's still laggy, then it's time to log a support ticket ( http://larian.com/support/ ) and see if they can assist you.

I tried your first suggestion, it didnt work so well, but i noticed the problem. The lag and stuck happen when its rendering/processing a lot of texture. When I wait at the screen to load for a long time, the lag reduced because its already rendered/processed the texture. Same goes if I went this specific path, next time I cross it, the lag will gone because the texture has been memorised. Do you guys know how to counter this? Thank you

You might want to consider upgrading your CPU, 2.8 GHZ just isn't very high nowadays.

I never really messed around with gaming laptops, I know my personal laptop couldn't be upgraded, but maybe yours could have a GPU upgrade?

I have one more suggestion which you can try; then I'm out of guesses.

It's a feature called pre-rendered frames.
Your card should support it.

Open up your NVIDIA Control Panel, navigate to 3D Settings->Manage 3D Settings.
Go to 'Program Settings' and select the game in the drop-down menu (if it's not there, you can create a new game profile as you don't want to apply this change globally).
Scroll to 'Maximum pre-rendered frames' and override the global default (usually 3) and set it to '1'.
Scroll further down and make sure 'Virtual Reality pre-rendered frames' is set to 1; it should be by default.

Apply the changes, and try again.

Some people have seen drastic FPS increases by doing this; others have seen FPS drops, and others more have seen no change.

I'm sorry I can't help further.

I want to, but not enough money :'D

i tried the 2nd ways, it kinda work like the same, but thanks for your help, brother...im just thinking...why i played it smoothly with high specs on early access and not this? Its really killing, and it add a lot of lag and stuck when im entering reaper's coast town D:

Hello guys
I like very much larian masterpieces for a very long time. I was deeply inspired by divine divinity, my mother spent a lot of time in ego draconis, my wife assisted me in original sin. I'm your ancient fan. Almost so ancient as my wife's laptop acer aspire 5560. it has ancient videocard with dead hybrid system APU&GPU (no support from kind producer), that's why we can't update video dirvers and windows will be forever 7. popular advise - update the machine - we can't use now, thanks. main problem is not a slideshow (it is annoying but we can overcome it), main problem is often crushes when she is connecting to me, or after load of savegame.
I have two questions:
1) could we expect for some fix in game? support of such old systems is not in priority, I know, but maybe...
2) is there any hidden options for manual optimization by editing some .ini files? didn't find it over internet and by myself
