With the new season the game has for some become unplayable

Bug Report

I’ve played 600 hours of Legacy and love the game! It was running well and very responsive in season 1 and 2, but after the season 3 update its been straight upunplayable for me. The fps is lower, the latency and desync is way worse, and the stutters are onbearable - my screen commonly freeze for 0.2 sec when i start charging a fireball, jump, or double/triple evade. I know i have older hardware, but its been perfectly fine for season 1 and 2, and i have no issues in other games.
But the response feeling of inputs in the game is so so bad now, its a 100% impossible to input on reaction, it has to be a pretimed sequence to throw a combo and hope for the best. And its impossible to hit a moving target with fireball as theres a big delay from clicking the mouse till it actually throws, which was never a problem in season 1 or 2.

Below is before and after performance
I have: i7-6700K - GTX 1080 - 16GB RAM - (1080p)

Before:

  • 80-100 stable fps. (with framegen)

  • 20 ms - on EU

  • FAA - 100% scale, 0.66 AA, Medium

  • Graphics settings - Mix of low, medium, high

  • Medium render distance

Now:

  • 55-75 fps that drops to 40-50 in combat (fg=on)

    • But feels very muddy with fg (cursor glides after mouse stops)

  • 45 fps without framegen

    • That drops to 20-40 in combat (but mouse dont glide)

  • 60-70 ms - on EU

    • I’ve noticed the ms increases when fps lowers

  • No AA - 80% scale

  • Graphics settings - Everything lowest

  • Near render distance

  • Immense stutters in general (frame freezes for .1 - .2 sec)

I've updated GPU driver, verified game files, and put on performance Nvidia settings

The game has for me become unplayable in this season. It was not a problem before.

    We’re investigating the performance on power spec machines, we’ve experienced these on our rigs at home as well. Sorry about this! We did a new engine version and it’s had some kinks. We do believe though that after they’re ironed out, it will be more performant across the board.

    Sorry again!

      Alright I appreciate your answer Chris! I’ve also formatted my pc and reinstalled windows now, it has helped me much with the worst stutters, so i guess that was mostly local. Better ms today aswell, 25-45. But fps is still 35-45. I am looking forward to the ironing out. :)

      Chris, but why the game is melting the gpu in menu? And why you haven’t fix the Menu fps limiter for the past 6 months? This alone could have helped so much. People just don’t pay attention what is happening in menu but their gpu is fried, then they go in game and it stutters way worse than it should, even with all the optimization problems.

      Just want to feedback you on this Chris - the game runs fantastic now with the same setup as above.

    100% agree, it also has nothing to do with your specs. I have a 4080, i9 14900X 32gb ram and I also made a post about it already. My fps got halved in general, every area I am below 100fps and I used to be above 150fps in EVERY area of the game. Now if I go inside the cemetery I drop to 60-70 with constant rubberband and fps drops. It’s terrible..

    Here is just 1 example:

      Same for my mate who recently bought a new rig with 5080, and he gets down to 80 fps when im at 35. But its atleast playable for him as 80-200 is fine, but still shouldnt vary that span when running around the map. Lets hope they get it sorted out!
