Framerate Issues Since Dawntrail Launch

[TwiissTwiiss]

Having similar issues as described by other people in this thread.
My FPS has been very unstable since the launch of DT.

5800X3D
4070 Ti
3440x1440

For anyone still looking for a fix to this.
What helped me, or at least it appears so for the moment, was disabling "Microsoft Device Association Root Enumarator" in Device Manager -> View -> Devices by connection and right click on Microsoft Device Association Root Enumarator and disable it.

Hopefully someone will find this useful.

Tried this but the Root Emumarator is already disabled...

I don't mean to sound rude, but your PC doesn't even meet the minimum requirements for the game. Not sure what you expect. That's not to say the game couldn't use more optimization and ironing out some kinks, but at the end of the day your laptop is simply too old and slow for the current version of the game.

This is my exact issue. then again my character looks eerily similar to yours. I wonder if we found the perfect lalafel look to crash framerates

Just dropping an update here since people have been quite critical of my setup, I'm clearly not an IT expert either

I was reading from CPU-Z which seems to give the base DRAM frequency not the effective clock rate in a dual-channel environment. Checking in performance monitor my RAM was at 2400MHz which led me to realize my XMP reverted to disabled, so enabling that bumped that up to 3000MHz which slightly increased FPS in the trouble areas.

Also, I realize my CPU is an older generation, but replacing that isn't as simple as slotting in a new CPU(need new MOBO and probably new RAM) so that's why I have a much higher tier GPU as it's plug-and-play. Incremental upgrades, you know?


tl;dr
Enabling XMP in the BIOS did slightly alleviate the issue (getting 57 FPS at the same area vs 47), so if anyone is having similar issues this might be an avenue to look into.

Would this be a suitable upgrade?

I've had the same stuttering and slowdown issue since launch as well. Benchmark said my system scored high, RTX 2070 i7 Core, and while it's a couple of years old it shouldn't be having these kinds of issues I think.

I've tried turning down everything, I disabled the Root Emumarator, defragmented the drive, cleared my main C drive of excess anything and installed it directly there for fastest processing, ran it more than a few times with no other applications running including Discord, Nvidia's overlay, and Steam. I even saved end emptied the event logs as suggested a few pages back in this thread and curiously...that did seem to ease fps issues substantially for a time, but it seems to be a temporary fix as I ended up having to do it again only after a few hours. Your guess is as good as mine there.

Even after all of this, some cutscenes during MSQ get slow down, the game particularly hates being around other players ESPECIALLY in the second hub, non stop stuttering like I've never seen before in this game. My partner and I did manage to finish the MSQ and it works I'd say about 70% of the time, but then the slowdown just happens at the most bizarre times. One of the two post game dungeons' first boss had me practically stop framing the fight and I can't understand why as the fight isn't particularly graphically intense or anything. Maybe it's the boss' model? Even sequences from older content has caused some sudden drop in frames like Endwalker msq final boss'es big party wipe attack, which has never happened before. Its frustrating because it works fine much of the time, but these slowdown moments are immersion breaking at best during cutscenes and hazardous to gameplay at worst and I'm at wits end, I've tried everything I can.

I really strongly feel like there's some sort of optimization issue on the games' end because this computer really should be able to handle the game even at its lowest settings. All I can do now is add to this thread and hope someone there notices, or if similar issues are happening in the Japanese playerbase and they're being vocal about it.

Feels kind of like a waste of time to post in here, but may as well add to the masses.
Nvidia RTX3080 ti (Laptop)
32gb ram
I7 1th gen intel
GeForce Game Ready Driver 556.12 Release date 6/27/2024

Drastic stutter.
Pre 7.0 I would easily get 100fps or more no matter where I was , dipping into 70s or 80s during the most strenuous battles or crowds.
Now I constantly drop to 30s and 40s even without battles and even when my fps is 60-70 it stutters.

I look back at this thread multiple times a day and see more-and-more people with similar problems as mine. In a sort of way, I'm glad that I'm not the only person suffering from performance issues. I have tried every type of offered solution put here, to no avail.

Square Enix really needs to address this, I dislike having to play this game with 3D Resolution Scaling set its lowest just to get past these framedrops/stuttering/lag during content.

I saw something on Reddit about going into Device Manager and disabling 2 System devices called "Microsoft Device Root Enumerator" and "Microsoft RRAS Root Enumerator".

I've disabled both, I'll report back once I've managed to play a bit.


EDIT: My stuttering has reduced significantly, not 100% gone but not as often as before.
