i have been using unreal 5 for awhile and in the last 2 weeks i have been facing many issues with the program. i have a 2070 super, so there is no reason for me to be lagging. especially with 32 gb of ram. but it only lags sometimes.
yesterday i ran an nvidia update and it was fine after that, but i open the same project today and i get max 20 frames, this has been going on for a week and is very troubling as i am in school which is what these projects are for.
i have tried everything, from closing all background programs to uninstalling and reinstalling and turning off lumen. nothing works, and it seems like the program decides when to work properly and when not to. if this issue persists i am considering switching to Unity
I experienced that for a while but it turns out it was an AMD streaming setting where it would occasionally start recording on it’s own and cause performance issues. If you updated nvidia drivers and it temporarily fixed it then it sounds like it could be driver related. Try googling for 2070/driver issues with ue5 performance.
One other thing to check is that you don’t have other editor windows open when running the game in editor. Even a ‘Project Settings’ window will cause a drop of 20fps for me from 60 with a Threadripper and RTX3090. It took me ages to figure out what was going. At least mininimise the other windows but closing them will make sure they’re not impacting performance…
but thanks for the reply
