Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Big FPS change Act 2 and optimization

Hi all,

Starting act 2 I've had a big FPS drop. I think more necrofire and environmental effects are the cause but I have a solid rig. Any advice on optimizing would be appreciated.

Processor Intel Core i7-4810MQ CPU @ 2.80GHz, 2801 Mhz, 4 Core, 8 Logical Processor

GeForce GTX 870m

7.92 GB RAM

GPU load never goes above 10% but memory is around 80-90%. Anyone else experiencing these load issues?

Yeah, I've noticed that myself. It doesn't feel well optimized in Reaper's Coast or Arx. I had a lot of stuttering in Dirkwood and middle of Arx. It often helped quitting the game and restarting it but if you loaded or zoned the problem would come back. At one point last night I had loading take almost 10 minutes. It was my fault tho because I had not restarted the game for many hours at that point. Something is clearly wrong.

Same problem here:
Act 1 60-80fps.
Act 2 on average runs well 50fps +.
blood island, nameless island drops to 25-40
Act 3
arx 19 fps average.

Specs:
Gtx970 (Gpu load drops to 20% on arx)
Fx8320 4.5ghz (80% + cpu usage on arx)
12gb Ram
I think i will not be able to finish the game.

Did you ever figure this out? I am only getting a max of 20 FPS in Act 2 with 16 GB of ram, GTX 970, I5 CPU, etc. Game is detecting Ultra settings, but I get mad lag.
