That's odd then because I'm not seeing any. I have a 280X.
What does your core clock say when it's running like this?
This sounds like a post-driver crash performance. I get this sometimes (not in this game yet, but others in the past) where it runs at 99 percent but at like 580mhz instead of the 1440ish it should be. Happens in many games.
i5-2500K @ 4.4Ghz
16GB DDR3 @ 2133Mhz
Asus Strix GTX 970 - latest drivers
Windows 10
SSD
1080p all settings on High, Vsync off
Running as a Knight class and currently a bit past the third boss. Had one crash the first day while looking at a white summon sign on the ground. Beyond that no crashes (I do keep my knight's helm on)
Steady 60FPS though-out with a slight dip at Fire-Link shrine bonfire and occasionally when it is saving something.

Which one? There can be a pretty big difference between an older one and skylake/haswell i5. If a 4690K at 3.9 is having almost 70% usage on one core to get 60fps, the older ones will probably have problems doing the same if you don't overclock.
I did a benchmark using MSI afterburner and Heaven and it was all good. No signs of anything to worry about. :/
Was running around 1500.
What does it report in the game?
Also your core clock should not be near 1500 if you're not OCing it like you said.
I was under the impression that it should be considering it's an SSC. Let me check again to be sure.
That card's default boost clock is 1342 mhz.
My mistake:
GPU usage is 55-68%
1367MHZ
avg low 30s to 40s.
Like, this is fucking horrible FR, for my comp, no?!
jfc. I know people who STREAM and get a stable 50-60fps w/ my setup (exact setup). I fresh installed/uninstalled my drivers.

I've been running latest drivers since game launch with no crash and maxed settings locked 60 at 1440p besides autosave hitch
i7 490k 4.7ghz
980 ti
I wonder if they could patch up the texture streaming so the pop in isn't so bad.

I am sure they would've adressed this in the patch notes if it were fixed. I think it's going to be a while until they fix this and the saving hitches might never be fixed.
I'm not having any particular issue, beyond the auto save stutter, but it's disappointing to see the crash issues not solved yet.
I guess they're more serious than I thought.
Too bad Jeff (Green) is going to have to play on ps4 because of them.
Haven't had a problem with crashes when setting lighting to "low" on my 780ti but I feel like this isn't a real solution as much as a temporary workaround.
Sad to hear the latest patch didn't resolve the problem for M_A_C - since we have the same card I'm not expecting a fix for myself either. I can live with the save stutter but not being able to use certain graphics options is really disappointing indeed.
One other thing I've been wondering is what difference does the lighting quality option make? I haven't been able to see a difference between Max and Low. Would appreciate comparison shots that illustrate the difference if anyone got them.

Don't be linke this. It would be a nightmare if it never gets fixed. This is worse than the odd framepacing Problem. These micro freezes occur so frequently, it makes them way more noticable. Does this happen on consoles too? If not then it should be fixable.
This is the single most distracting technical issue I've seen in a Souls game.
From's fucking technical incompetence will drive me off their games one day....

its actually worse than on these consoles for some reason

Consistent 50-60 fps
Most settings on max except for shadow
Occasional 0.5 second white flashes and stutters
Game hasn't completely crashed
i5 4460
R9 380

reshade?

Yes. ReShade's SMAA works wonders on top of the ingame AA, without hardly any performance cost.
Well, tried it, still averaging 40-45fps in high wall of lothric...
This is insane.
I've tried even playing on low and 900p, still 40-45.
As many have said, your PC should run this game maxed out at 60 fps at 1080 easily. Is peformance crappy in other games too? If that's the case, maybe you should just say fuck it and reinstall Windows. DS3 is not a really demanding game.
Have you tried restricting matchmaking from the game? I forget what it defaults to, but these are probably issues related to high ping between you and the phantom, restricting matchmaking to your geo region might help.

Any comments from Namco/From? I haven't suffered a single crash but the autosave stutter has been annoying I was fairly certain this patch wasn't going to fix these issues based on the patch notes but it would be nice for them to acknowledge that they are working on them. I'm sure they are working on the crashing but the autosave stutter isn't quite the show stopper.
Reshade gives me crashes.

Seen some users on steam forum saying after the newest patch the framerate has dropped or inputs aren't working in game etc.
He shouldn't need to reinstall windows and wouldn't fix the problems he is having unless he has another program running or a virus or something, but those can be fixed other ways.
I think he said he already ran a scan with malwarebytes.
There almost has to be something else running in the background though that is using up those resources.

Apparently I am getting per-object motion, but honestly it's so soft I can't notice it at all in-game.

so i died to the D
and now if I go anywhere near that area my game crashes. I can warp to v
s bonfire but warping the high wall one crashes, walking through the doors to the stairs to d
crashes, walking from the tower bonfire to d
crashes.
So i now cannot finish the game. I have tried wearing a helmet, putting the lighting on low, wearing no armour, no weapons and restarting the game and PC.

I'm on 970 and this is my second playthrough - it was working fine before
what driver were you using before when it was workign?
tamaster92
Member
Exact same one I am now, I literally just died to her and after respawning it now crashes when in that area

Perhaps you are used to the shutter speed / visual look of games at 30hz/30fps with per-object blur. They would be noticably blurrier in a stopped frame assuming the shutter speed is tied with framerate.

I am sure they will fix it. I heard a Twitch streamer say that the autodave hitching issue wasn't there in the review build 1.01. It didn't start until 1.03. From just needs to fix what got broken.
Apologies, I might have missed some posts but is the bonfire crashing an Nvidia only issue?

Ok, so I finally put on a full face helm and cranked the lighting to high.
No crashes!
So I can confirm that works, or at least does in my case. The game looks stunning. O.O

After the patch I'm getting lots of "black texture pop-in" or what you call it, some textures flash black when looked close, didn't have this at all before the patch.
So they definitely changed something, can't say what though - Game seemed to remember my settings now too which was weird.

Titan X @ 1425mhz
24 GB 1600mhz DDR3 in triple channel
Core i7 930 @ 4.2 GHZ
All maxed @ 2880X1620
So far basically 60fps 95% of the time (slight dips on heavy alpha effects as usual as they spike pretty hard).
I am getting the load / save / pick up souls stutter though occassionally (perhaps all the time? I am not sure). I wonder what causes that.
