Frame Rate Loss since 39.00

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

Since the 39.00 update, our island 1v1 with Every Gun 6155-1398-4059 has experienced major FPS drops without anything changed in the map. These issues were not present before v39.00.

EDIT: The issue appears to be caused by Join-in-progress, joining a server after 20+ minutes causes FPS to drop and worsens over time. For now, we disabled JIP after 25 minutes on this island.

We are still experiencing this issue. The frame rate performance drops significantly around 20 minutes into a match.

You can repro easily in this island: 1478-6145-6503

This is causing some major issues for us and other maps.

I am also having this issue, I also have issue with mobile cook error, cannot load my map on mobile. Mentioning this because maybe these two issues are linked. Also does anyone have an update on this issue?

8

@Flak could you give us an update on this issue please.

This is now scheduled to be addressed in 40.30.

It’s become impossible to work on big projects. Please fix. This should be a priority.

FORT-1027988 has been added to our ‘To Do’ list. Someone’s been assigned this task.

14

Could we get more information we just get told its being addressed and never gets addressed. My map that I have been spending 1+ year on is now at a stop. I was almost ready for testing. Very frustrating because now I have to make a new one and salvage what I can from my last map.

15

This is still a huge problem for us, and we had to disable matchmaking at 15 mins which has tanked our map’s metrics

16

Does anyone have a Live Island code that is currently reproducing this? We need to hop into an island to get a repro. If folks have one that is still reproducing this, or is willing to revert an island to a form that does repro it, it would be helpful.

@gamchanger451 @JUNO_006 @RiYAN Please see above.

Island code 1478-6145-6503 (Edit Pump Wars) has this issue, join in progress is not being disabled early on (no matchmaking being disabled to circumnavigate this issue)

I tried that island for 40 minutes and didn’t see degradation. I was trying PC though. I can try PS5 shortly.

It specifically seems to affect last-gen console the most, from the Technical analytics page on the Creator portal, PC and Next-gen are hardly affected. Mobile has a slight bump up after 39.00, Switch is moderate, but it is very severe for PS4/XB1. Another thing to point out is that it becomes much more noticeable later on in the session especially 90 minutes+ in, particularly in public servers.

21

Hearing reports that it is still happening might be good enough! Thanks!

Yes it definitely is still occurring, we intentionally left the island I sent (1478-6145-6503) as having long join-in-progress. We check after every update to see if the frame rate returned to normal (pre-39.00) but it still has not. In our other islands we were forced to disable matchmaking early on to mtigate this issue and will change it back to how it was prior to 39.00 as soon as we see it fixed on the other island.
