Assuming you're using Windows, what version are you on? I had issues with extreme drops in framerates with Windows 11 running the game in DX 11 during EA, which I eventually tracked down to a problem with Windows 11 HDR and disabling it solved the problem.
If it's not that, then does swapping between Vulkan and DX11 help, or reducing the graphics settings?
Im on windows 10. Never had the issue in early access in about 100 hours of gameplay. Exactly the same hardware, only thing different is I updated the nvidia drivers before full release as recommended by the prelaunch post.
Have extra settings or graphical features been added between ea and full release? Just seems odd that each ranuch better.
I have the same issue. I'm running with DX11 (Vulkan just doesn't work with HDR) and I get smooth framerates for a while and then it just falls off a cliff. It isn't the environment as I can save in a spot with bad framerate, close the game, relaunch it and reload which results in smooth framerates.
Yep, exactly this. Had the issue in the goblin camp whilst fighting everyone outside. Thought it could of been due to lots of characters on screen. Remembered it wasn't this choppy in ea. Save, exit, reload, smooth as butter.
