Good Day forum It seems like the FPS drop issue is back. I remember a few patches ago there was an FPS issue that seemed to happen whenever there were torps nearby or if AA was going crazy. The same thing is happening again in this patch with massive FPS drops at random times during battles. @MrConway has this been raised again yet?

@cherry2blosthow do I increase the cache size and up the fps limit though?

I was given the following solution for my ticket: Open the World of Warships engine_config.xml (located within World of Warships\res folder) and replace the <enableTextureStreaming>true</enableTextureStreaming> to <enableTextureStreaming>false</enableTextureStreaming> @MrConway is the zipped patch an additional fix? Or does it do the same thing as the above? Trying to figure out if I need to do both. Anyway regarding the TextureStreaming fix above, the sample size of games I've tested isn't very large but it does seem to make a difference. Previously about 2-3 games into a session, things would go to hell. Seems to not be the case now. However two weird things have happened to the game so far. First, the sound just cut out mid session. It wasn't my hardware because I minimised the client and opened a youtube vid which had sound. Second, the game froze at one point and crashed to black screen of death. I had to sign out and log back into the client. @cherry2blost have you tried the cache fix and max fps issue concurrently with the patch? Is the problem still there? Btw how are you changing your cache and max fps? I'd like to try this just to see what happens.

I don't think so. I had the issue, a new NVIDIA driver update subsequently dropped, updated to this new driver and issue was still present. So bug was present with 2x different NVIDIA drivers. It's not impossible I guess but it seems unlikely that two different NVIDIA driver versions would be the problem.

Its not driver related. I have a GTX970 and have the latest Nvidia driver. Issue is still there. Not sure its 32/64 bit related either. I'm on 64 bit. These are my system specs, there should be no way the game is having this FPS problem to be honest: OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134 System Type x64-based PC System SKU All Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz, 3301 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s) Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB GPU: GTX970

I have an open ticket with support so they are looking at it. My ticket has just recently been escalated since none of the multiple potential fixes that were suggested have worked. I've provided screenshots, replays, multiple WGCheck reports as well as cpu, gpu and aida reports. So the support guys have more than enough info to work with. I would agree with pretty much all of the symptoms mentioned in this thread already. The issue only manifests itself a few games into a session and then gets progressively worse, it seems to happen when there are torps or aa or when zoomed into bino view. So ye, very similar to the memory leak problem a while ago. But honestly, who knows at this stage - just let the support guys investigate first.

Is there a guide somewhere which explains what each of the graphic settings options do? I'm trying to improve performance but I don't understand what each option does/doesn't do so I'm pretty much stumbling around in the dark. Did a search on the forum for 'graphics settings guide' but 6 pages in and no post seems to be what I'm looking for....

It didn't :(

dunc wondering about things usually ends in disaster AM I RIGHT

Maybe its similar to the memory leak issue a few patches ago. For that issue, there was a generic fix. Besides, I don't think he was saying that the bug is manifesting itself due to something particular with each individual machine. Usually theres a single issue at play that is common for the players who experience the problem. In other words if they can find the root issue and fix it, that fix would be applicable for everyone.

@MrConway I've raised a ticket as you've suggested with all the pieces of info mentioned. Additionally I've included a replay with the issue. Hopefully the devbots will be able to resolve asap. Cheers.

@domen3 cheers dude, thanks for your reply. Will check youtube.

Definitely seems related to when theres lots of stuff going on....I start off at 76fps and its spikes massively downwards when I zoom in to bino view, or if theres loads of AA...

Is there going to be a Daring legendary module? If yes, what's the status of its development? Any idea on what it would do? If no, why no legendary for Daring?

Dear @MrConway I am writing to humbly beseech that you provide us, the gentle and definitely not whiny wows player base, with a super awesome tier X dd in exchange for some digital steel game currency. I trust that this plaintive appeal shall find sufficient purchase in the fertile soils of your brain and will, posthaste, grow and develop into a beautifully worded email proposal which will wend its way through the wonder that is the internet and eventually find a home in the inbox of one of your esteemed WG developer colleagues. Thanking you in advance, Zanders

Y'all stop hijacking my thread with your cv rants. There's plenty of other threads going around on that topic. @Affeks, @Bmsrt yes black is available for steel already. But I'm specifically keen for a X steel dd that would be a viable alternative end game purchase to the stalin or bolgnaise. It would make sense given there's already a tier X steel cruiser and BB so surely a dd option should be next to complete the classes (screw cvs, no one likes them anyway)? @MrConway- feel free to add this complete-the-classes-gottahavethemall! rationale to your email for your devs. Geez basically doing your job for you, you're welcome to the carry. @_Dunc_ stop hanging around the forum of a game you don't play anymore like a creepy old dude, dammit.

Hi, I'm having issues with the game which I think might be down to the directx used. When I set it to Directx9, game seems ok When I set it to Directx11, the game will randomly drop to the desktop but will continue running. It doesn't crash as such, the screen just goes to my desktop. I'd obviously prefer to run it using directx11 so I'm keen to get to the root problem. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks

Wtf I just got to rank 5, I was given the flag and everything. But it still says Im rank 6.3? What the hell? Awesome bug.

yep, you're right. I was sad, but now its kkkkk

maybe its two different issues then because my client is basically unusable in Port unless I end that task.

mine should have been fine too, but I found that ending that process resolved the issue. Did you try it?

@n_g_brito hey man, I think I'm getting the same issue as you. Massive lag in port when you try click anything but once you're in battle it seems ok. I've found that if I go to Task Manager and end the process fontdrvhost.exe then that solves the issue. I tried this after I noticed that this fontdrvhost.exe process was using up a whole bunch of memory while the WoW client was running. Could you see if you have this process running, try ending it and seeing if this resolves the issue?

Is it just me or is the Port UI even slower than usual? The client is basically freezing after every battle, taking ages (way longer than usual) to load the carousel.

Hello fellow forumites I often get this weird crash mid battle where the game screen kind of 'slides' off to the side and I get sent back to my desktop. The client is still actually running and I don't get an error message, hence why I call this a 'crash'. But once I'm back on my desktop, my PC just goes nuts. Every button I click opens up random applications, or the command prompt pops up etc. Then, if I try and expand the client window and actually manage to get back into the battle, as soon as I click the anything or push a key on the keyboard, the client sends me back to the desktop again. The only solution is for me to sign out of windows, sign back in and restart the client. It almost feels like theres some kind of sticky keys issue going on? But it can't be that surely? It seems to happen whenever theres a new patch. Or maybe its because I updated my nVidia driver with the new patch? Honestly I have no clue because, like I said, theres no error message. Anyone else had this issue before and any ideas how to solve? Cheers chaps

[-MM] Madmen EU -MM is an international watertanks clan spawned from the grubby loins of the popular Madmen tank clan. Basically we took the good eggs from the tank clan and migrated to watertanks. Our members hail from boring as f*ck parts of the world such as the UK, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Northern Ireland, France to more the exotic (read: third world) destinations such as Slovenia and South Africa. English is the lingua franca that binds our community together unless your name is LEEBANON because we’re not sure if he actually understands us or even speaks the language. In fact, we’re pretty sure he’s a bot. We’re primarily looking to recruit active players who have an interest in participating in Clan Wars. The roster is at 36/40 at the moment but only around 10-12 guys have shown an interest in clan wars. Therefore we are trying to increase the number of clan wars guys so that we can consistently run 2 teams. The clan has shown steady progression in the two clan wars seasons such that we ended in Typhoon league in season 2. All of the regular Clan Wars players achieved the Stalingrad flag. For season 3, our target is to further improve our clan war skills and reach Hurricane. Basic requirements: Ability to speak English 1,000 Minimum battles overall PR of 1800+ Willingness to division up with your clan-mates. Not sure why you would join a clan if you weren’t willing to do this bit to be honest but there you go. Willingness to participate in clan wars on a regular basis. However we do understand that real life stuff often pops up and this is not an issue. Discord (a mic is obviously preferable but as long as you can hear our FCs howler-monkeyesque calls, then you’re good to go) Tier X ships that are used in clan wars (Yueyang, Gearing, Z-52, Zao, Hindenburg, Des Moines, Moskva, Montana) Whilst this is the internet, its not acceptable to be complete and utter dongbag. Well, for at least 50% of the time please. You will need to have self-awareness and to be honest with yourself and your clan mates. We have had some heated post-clan wars battle analysis sessions but we believe these are an important part of learning from mistakes and getting better. Everyone makes mistakes, but recognising the issue helps everyone to prevent it from happening again in a future situation. You must help and fight for your clan mates. In the last season of clan wars, the guys who reached the Stalingrad flag quite early were happy and willing to carry the last few guys over the line. All for one, one for all blah blah blah yes? Additional requirements: Specialist DD or BB main for clan wars Desire to Field Command Please contact @Zanders#3541 or @Ördy#2589 for more information or join our discord: https://discord.gg/VZNr2ay
