  • Here are the frametimes in PVP - https://imgur.com/a/qCTyb8c Its real stuttery and near unplayable and my DXDIAG - https://pastebin.com/Br2AMJtE Haven't changed any settings since the Tuesday update. Seems to be worse in PVP with more people in a match.

  • DXDiag [url]https://pastebin.com/Lz7KNkLG[/url] I made a video but there wasnt much to show outside of performance dipping hard especially on the moon during events like alter of sorrow. Wasnt a thing until this weeks update. Used to be 70 fps plus but averaging out around 60 now- also getting really bad dips to 35 and 45 fps. This is happening on multple characters so im unsure what the root cause is- im hearing that this is only an issue on the steam version of the game.

    I ran a quick experiment to test out if there is a performance issue or a memory leak. This is what I found. 1-My frames are uncapped. In orbit I get 278+ FPS 2-I experience drops all the way to 20 fps. These drop occur in ARENA, Battlegrounds and Excision (which gives me guitar error all the time). 3-By Capping the frames to 180 FPS, same as my monitor I get drops all the way to 40 FPS. These drops occur in the Crucible (6v6) and Strikes. 4-Capping the frames to 60 FPS I get 40 to 30 FPS no matter the activity. Which makes no sense because the frames are already low. EDIT: Can you also turn off Crossplay? It's horrible because it brings too much latency between the systems. EDIT: The game is chugging all available CPU without using the GPU at all. My GPU usage shows at 2% of usage. I cannot have anything opened in the background since the CPU is capped out of usage by Destiny 2. Pastebin Info [url]https://pastebin.com/C72ZmJ13[/url]

  • https://pastebin.com/f93PUjYH DxDiag Dump ^ GPU usage and FPS has been significantly lower during gameplay anywhere in the game at all times. This specifically started whenever you guys decided to remove the exclusive full screen display option from the game. When exclusive full screen was an option in the game previously, I ran 220-240fps consistently without frame drops, spikes etc. GPU usage was always high (90-100% usage as it should be) so I would always be pushing high framerate. Input lag was always minimal. The game was running almost flawlessly. Even in high action content and areas FPS rarely dropped. When exclusive full screen was removed, not sure when but I noticed after I came back to the game when renegades and edge of fate was on sale. I now get maybe maximum 60% GPU usage. Frames sit around 120-130 in the tower with 50% GPU usage. Once in an activity and enemies come in and action ramps up my GPU usage drops lower and frames drop to 70-80 thus massively increasing input delay and worsening the experience. As far as I understand this shouldn't be happening on an R9 7950X3D and RTX 4080 at 1440p. Just to re-iterate when exclusive full screen was an option the game ran almost flawlessly and that was on the exact same specs. I'm really hoping this performance issue plaguing myself and many others is fixed before the updates to this game stop entirely.. :(

  • https://pastebin.com/WyTcjHU7 unfortunately i didnt get a video where its really noticeable What ive tested vsync, frame cap, depth of field, motion blur, wind impulse, chromatic aberration, and film grain will be off for all tests 1. I went to trostland and started at 4k ultra with nvidia reflex set to on+boost, frame rate is unstable ranging from 25 to about 43, mostly staying around 30-35 2. After that I set everying to the lowest or off, and resolution dropped to 720p, during john chunk I could get 80fps stable with spikes up to 120, but now its staying around 70 but is very unstable, ranging from 200 down to 10 fps. When turning off nvidia reflex it get much more stable and stays about 60-70 but still has some dropps to 38 and spikes as high as 85, setting it to on changes things a little bit, with it being a *slightly* higher fps in the stable range but I notice more frequent dropps and fewer spikes 3. I saw some reddit advice to turn off shader precaching in steam so I tried that and noticed an huge drop in load times, going from 1-2 minutes in getting to my character select screen to less than 30 seconds, but didn’t notice much of an fps boost if any, trying the first 2 tests again it was a little better, the spikes stayed under 110fps and drops above 15, but it was still unstable unless reflex was off at low setting or on+boost at max Overall the best way to avoid this is to cap fps at 30-40 and push your hardware as much as possible, the fewer frames it can render in a second the fewer noticeable drops you will have. the 2 artifacts i tested with (wish and kepler) didnt seem to change anything, everything was tested in patrol and using vex mythoclast for my gun As for a fix, I haven’t seen anything yet, and need to test hardware accelerated gpu scheduling as I have it off by default

    Here's my Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/HwMRRJuz Already plenty of videos exist, so I doubt me uploading anything would be useful there as it's pretty much the same for me. Extremely bad performance in many activities across the game - with the Moon being by far the worst performing area. I've tried every single community posted potential "fix" for this issue, but nothing has helped. One potentially interesting thing here, if you haven't seen it yet though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqXhmzwm2iY Someone compared Destiny's performance on Steam vs it's performance on Epic. Same PC, went to the same planet. Steam had low FPS and stuttery performance, whereas Epic's version of Destiny had like 60 more fps and appeared way smoother. Also, here's the reddit thread where I found that video: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/1ugzg7n/destiny_2_9702_pc_performance_issues_steam_vs_epic/ I've also noticed that when running Destiny I'm only getting like 50-60% GPU utilization at times. No clue why this would be, it's the only game I have that is doing this right now. I've also changed nothing on my end. EDIT: as for reproduction of the issue, it appears to be nearly constant no matter what I do. Some activities or locations are worse than others, like PvP or the Moon, but it is pretty much a consistent issue throughout the entire game, no matter where I go or what I'm doing.

      I've uploaded a video on youtube showcasing the issues : https://youtu.be/HGN3GcJft_8?si=-wHYlVKU6VmaPS2d Showing both the frames and my task manager in private match by myself, opening my inventory and as well as a control match 6v6. Hopefully this helps. You can see the low util on both CPU and GPU at high settings 1440p

    • I'm new to Destiny, I bought it on Steam. The performance is very bad, here's an example on Moon: https://youtu.be/MVDhRTdsbbY DxDiag: https://pastebin.com/UMSYsqxA This occurs even at Low Video setting. As you can see, (down arrow on Steam Overlay) frames go down to 40s, 30s... You can even see a stutter down to 24 at one point. Moon is completely janky for me :( Even when recording, CPU hovers around 75% and GPU stays at 60%? Means no component is struggling. Steam Overlay shows max usage of the core that's under biggest load, so it's not the case of one core being 100% when other overlays show 40% usage. I play Marathon too. At Medium settings Marathon stays really nicely close to 60 on my PC, without this stutter. Anyway, wish you the best devs at Bungie. Thanks for your games!

      https://pastebin.com/PDJ8dhx7 FPS dropping from 170 to 58 in Crucible and in high density activities in the open world during Distortion events with ability spam builds. Updated all drivers, bios, even cleared shader cache. No luck.

    • I don't have any video/screenshots Since this most recent patch I've had several deep FPS drops I used to consistently sit at 144, sometimes dropping to 120, but now i'm dropping to sub 100 pretty consistently and in some activities like Root of Nightmares and Excision I was getting 1% lows in the 20s-30s fps sometimes this would persist for a few seconds.

      https://pastebin.com/uCMJVDzc I've had stuttering and game lag unrelated to my settings within multiple game types since the Monument update. First noticed it in Nightmare Containment Arena OPs, but I've had it in distorted destinations (most common), I've had stuttering in Prophecy dungeon, Spire of the Watcher dungeon, Insight Terminus Fireteam Op. I do play on steam, and I do have other programs running in the background, but this isn't new and my system has never lagged like this until the Monument update. So much content. Too thicc.

    • It might very well be Steam related,most of the posts that I've seen are made by people who mentioned their platform being Steam.Personally,I tried reinstalling the game,I verified file integrity on Steam,updated the drivers,no overlays or apps running in the background,cleared caches,played a bit with the settings in the nvidia app and in game...and nothing.I've lost like 30 fps on every destination,in activities is rougher.While in Orbit my fps are almost half of what they once were.I have no stutters,just pure fps drops.From what I've seen so far here on the forum,reddit and discord servers,the issue seems random af.People with very good PCs are reporting it,folks with not that great machines too...an rng based thing lol I can't image how Excision feels like.

      • Unrelated Comment: With the closing off seasonal events it was made clear that the gear from these events would be made available through the tenants, but as it stands the masquerade mask and it subsequent ornaments remain unobtainable. I really feel these need to be added to the tenants or changed into universal ornaments that get disabled in Pvp (like with exotics). People did pay money for these so it's a shame to not have them accessible. I did post feedback about this, not sure if I can leave it as a comment here, just delete or ignore if its an issue.

      • The issue seems to be with the games engine, not that it's surprising. It's very old. With that being said, I have tried both steam and epic games and both perform the same in my case. I doubt one platform performs better than the other, however I could be wrong. Certain hardware seems to perform better than others as well. I had better performance when I had my 3080ti over my 5080. There's just something fundamentally wrong with the games engine, especially on newer hardware. I even see my friends with a 4070 get better performance with no stuttering over my 5080. It's mind boggling really. I've tried every driver for the 5080 I could've, updated every driver my PC needed including updating my bios. At this point I know it's nothing wrong with my computer and rather just the game it's self considering this is the only game I have an issue running. It was always micro stuttering here and there in any activity I did. My frame times before the update on the 23rd was always be at 240-250fps and dipping down to a staggering 110 fps even just moving, shooting or something as simple as opening my inventory. Mainly happened around the time you guys removed exclusive fullscreen. But now it's much worse than what it was. I can't even maintain over 100fps in 6v6 crucible. It stutters so bad it's unplayable. I don't really play other activities other than crucible personally but it's across the entire game. Raids, strikes, pvp, the tower and even just opening the inventory. You can notice it. And just how others have mentioned, my CPU and GPU utilization are below 50%.

        Hi I have had issues with frame rate since the removal of fullscreen exclusive and the recent update on tuesday has made it worse. The form of content does not change the issue as I experience it in everything including sitting in orbit or the enclave and even the main menu screen before loading any characters. I have included a pastebin link with my DXDIAG. https://pastebin.com/vdh6JURs https://imgur.com/a/TqUucCc (Steam overlay framerate report directly from the main menu prior to clicking "Press enter to play")

      • 1. Video PvP 6v6 Vostok: https://imgur.com/a/Z9IkpAS // Around 20s when melee that opponet there is this small 0,5 second freeze. 2. DxDiag: https://pastebin.com/n04NbJDL 3. PvP 6v6 Control. Map Vostok. 6v6 is worst for me, 3v3 okay, but sometimes small lags. 4. Did some strikes and had small issues, but for me this issue seems to be worse in PvP and 6v6 modes 5. Playing hunter Arc + Bakris helmet. Redrix estoc pulse and tresspasser sidearm. Basic modes targetings, loader mod, focusing melee, fastball, unflinching, absolution, enhanced leg mods, reaper, outreach, powerful attraction. Really normal setup for me. 6. I updated latest AMD drivers for my RX580 GPU, version 26.5.2 and reseted shader cache. Loaded in to game, let shaders load, logged off, logged in and entered a planet and let shaders load, logged off and then again logged in. Now i think this works abit better, hmm, but still more fps loss than before. I know I have older pc and fps loss is normal for me, but i still can play and before the patch game worked better. Its worst in pvp especially in close quarter combat. My setup PC Steam AMD Ryzen 5 2400 g (this is bad i know, but still could play better before the patch) AMD Radeon RX 580 GT 8 GB 16 gb ram Asus TUF B450-plus motherboard Win 11

        Before the Tuesday reset, everything was running smoothly at 140+ FPS. However, after the reset, the game started performing terribly. I am experiencing constant freezes and micro-stutters. Additionally, there is very low utilization of both my CPU and GPU. https://pastebin.com/BETbGmdK

      • my Frames drop massively on the Moon and heavy populated areas. It was buttery smooth before the update. I am also getting a Battle eye Querry timeout ever 5 minutes and it has made the game unplayable. I tried reinstalling the game and verifying the files. I have disconnected plugins and stopped all background apps. I still get the Querry timeout with the bad frame drops It was fine and never had an issue before the update. https://pastebin.com/PspZ80JR

        My DxDiag is attached in the link. I don't recall ever seeing the frame drops on Tuesday, but on Wednesday I first noticed it when I was participating in public events on The Moon during its distortion hour. Frame drops were almost always dropping below 60fps, which never happened before - my frames were usually between 90-144fps. Now every destination I go to or any activity I do has frequent moments where frames go below 60fps, but its the worst when I'm on The Moon.
