Developer Update: Shadow Optimizations in Game Update 1.4

Glzmo · September 26, 2012

I'm having horrible performance in Game Update 1.4 with 2x Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 3GB SLi. Turning off shadows helps with performance a little, but the performance hit compared to 1.3 is there even with shadows disabled, and if you monitor GPU utilization, you will see that SLI isn't actually working properly (same with CrossfireX, by the way).

The following are some comparisons with Image Quality Preset set to Very High, both with Game Update 1.3 and 1.4:

Example 1: Tython, in front of the Jedi Temple. All three measurements were made in the same location.

1.3 SLI enabled: 90-111 FPS

1.4 SLI enabled: 22-35 FPS + bad microstutter while moving or simply moving the camera

1.4 SLI disabled: 34-50 FPS + bad microstutter while moving or simply moving the camera

Example 2: Alderaan, in the wild. All three measurements were made in the same location.

1.3 SLI enabled: 42-73 FPS

1.4 SLI enabled: 16-31 FPS + bad microstutter while moving or simply moving the camera

1.4 SLI disabled: 28-43 FPS + slight microsuttter while moving or simply moving the camera

Example 3: Jedi Knight Defender, Holocom room, character in front of the Holoterminal, door behind the character, camera looking at the character from behind the Holoterminal. All three measurements were made in the same location.

1.3 SLI enabled: 110-111 FPS

1.4 SLI enabled: 32-45 FPS + bad microstutter while moving or simply moving the camera

1.4 SLI disabled: 60-72 FPS + slight microsuttter while moving or simply moving the camera

The GPUs just aren't being utilized properly in SLi in 1.4. In 1.3, they were constantly utilized between 96%-98% per GPU, in 1.4 it's 30%-40% for each GPU.

I've tested with Nvidia GeForce driver versions 306.23, 304.79, 295.73 and some others, with little difference. Forcing Dragon Age 2 SLi compatibility bits (0x42400005 in Nvidia Inspector) helps a tiny bit (maybe 5-10 FPS in some situations), but performance is still abysmal in 1.4 with SLi enabled compared to it disabled or it enabled in 1.3.

In closing, this has been reported for Game Update 1.4 on the public test server. I can't comprehend why Game Update 1.4 went live even though Bioware knew about this issue before it was fixed. Bioware's/Electronic Arts' Quality Assurance seems to be non-existant.

By the way, how often do I have to tell Bioware it isn't a good idea to roll back to an old beta build that had some of the features you want to sell as "new"? You should work on the existing code and add things, instead of taking the unoptimized code base from one year ago and adding the stuff you've added since then onto it...Just saying. It looks like you rolled back to old code bases in 1.2 and you did it again in 1.4 (the "new" shadows, bad multi-GPU performance and moods and various bugs that were all in one beta build 1.4 is probably based on and miraculously resurfaced in 1.4 give it away!) - I guess you thought that there were too few of the old beta testers left to notice, huh? Don't be lazy and do things properly next time!

Update: The new Nvidia 306.63 drivers seem to help a little (in combination with the SLI compatibility bits set to 0x42C00005 / DiRT3 in Nvidia Inspector), but performance and GPU utilization with SLI enabled is still bad.

Hey everyone - we're aware of some issues introduced in Game Update 1.4 that may cause frame stuttering or performance problems (particularly on CrossFire or SLi setups). If you are experiencing these problems, please try disabling shadows. We are working on resolving these issues, but disabling shadows in the meantime may result in a performance increase. If you notice a performance increase after disabling shadows, please post to let us know (as some of you already have). We'll update you if we have any more information to share as we work on this issue. Thank you!

Hi Allison, this was one of the first things I tried, it did not eliminate the problem, reduced it... but did not bring it back to the performance I had before the patch - which was everything set on high, plus some tweaks in NVCPL and v-sync turned on for a smooth 60FPS.

Windows 8 Pro x64 (RTM - OS Was released to MSDN and OEM on 8/15/2012)

i7 980x OC'd @ 4.33Ghz

3x GTX680 OC'd @ 1.1Ghz (WHQL 306.23)

KHX 16GB DDR3 @ 1.6Ghz

3x OCZ Agility 3 (240GB, 2x 120GB, NO RAID)

Tried that. Didn't really help. The only fix was disabling CrossFire entirely.

Framerate improved somewhat, but still a ton of stuttering and still utterly unplayable.

I turned off all shadows and put all my setting from medium to very low, frame rates still terrible

SoyChulo · September 26, 2012

So I've had this issue on the PTS and now on live server.

The framerate is terrible, jerking all around, horrible performance.

I've turned off shadows, reduced textures, used low settings, etc. I've also turned off crossfire. NONE of it improves the performance of this build of the game. It is absolutely unplayable for a raider who needs to keep his group up as a healer.

This is disappointing as I mentioned this was an issue on the PTS. I was hoping that when the patch went live that it would not be a problem.

I run 6970 in crossfire.

Felioats · September 26, 2012

I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti -- a single one, not in SLI -- and I am experiencing the stuttering both with shadows on and off.

Oddly enough, framerates don't seem to drag at all. There's just stuttering.

Edited September 26, 2012 by Felioats

Rogoo · September 26, 2012

Well, how exactly is it possible that this issue "slip through" even though it was reported as soon as 1.4 hit the PTS ?

Pandaria much ?

Nimithril · September 26, 2012

Greetings,

I have no problems with FPS...sits right at ~60 like its supposed to with VSync on.

However, I experienced the stuttering problems. I disabled shadows, no change. Then one by one I disabled or turned to low all of the other graphics options and still had the stuttering. Then I noticed that the stuttering only occurs when moving the camera view in a vertical direction, never when strictly horizontal. I then tried disabling VSync and still no change.

I was running the game in Fullscreen mode, but then switched to Fullscreen (Windowed) and all problems were solved, plus my FPS went up, thought that really wasn't a concern.

The only caveat is that I have to keep Shadows on Low to prevent the stuttering.

Hope this helps some of you straighten things out.

Edit: The downside to this is that it makes my 560Ti run about 8 to 10 deg C hotter than usual.

magecutter · September 26, 2012

the new shadow system seems to be working really really well. I've always turned shadows off and kept my graphics set at (custom) about mid level.

I've just today maxed all the graphics just to see what would happen and am getting very good fps ('bout 60 constant) even on the fleet. the environments are much improved and yes, the new shadow system makes a huge difference.

Well Done Shadow Dev's! Well Done Indeed !

Felioats · September 26, 2012

Then I noticed that the stuttering only occurs when moving the camera view in a vertical direction, never when strictly horizontal.

If this is true, it might explain why why the stuttering happens almost constantly when riding an elevator.

Kamansus · September 26, 2012

I'm also having stuttering issues (when moving/turning mostly) on my SLI'd 2 x GTX 460 graphics cards. Disabling SLI removes the stuttering, as does disabling shadows (even with SLI enabled).

Monitoring GPU usage shows that usage is lowering along with the dropped framerate, so both GPUs are not being properly utilized when moving/turning the camera.

Hope that helps, I'll just play without shadows until this gets figured out.

RSVRichie · September 26, 2012

FPS were like a slideshow when i logged in after downloading the patch, all settings maxed, including shadows, which look great by the way.

System is as follows

Phenom II x6 1055t

8GB DDR3 G.Skill Ripjaws

2x HD 6950 2gb Crossfire

The fix for me was to disable crossfire, appears to have fixed the stuttering and all settings maxed is extremely playable, no noticeable FPS dips except in the usual heavy areas of the fleet.

Crossfire was working fine for me before, but now 1 card is disabled the performance for me is better than ever.

this is a picture of my UI after 1.4. i have bad stuttering and i was running on high before the patch, disabling shadows has not helped at all. will try running it in windowed mode to see if that helps, but this is really bad and unplayable as it stands.

Crixa · September 26, 2012

Also getting horrible fps and stuttering since 1.4. Before the patch I was running all settings on high/very high, but after the patch I've tried turning everything off that will go off and the rest to low but still getting a bad stutter which is making the game unplayable especially for pvp.

Currently running a single nvidia gtx 570

MoldyDaBear · September 27, 2012

tried to go into window mode and all the game does now is crash. i have a brand new Nvidia gtx 630 that worked great before this update and now i cant even run the game.

GuybrushT · September 27, 2012

Same exact issues as others have discussed... Here is my dxdiag.txt

Dual 7970s in SLI mode... the flickering stops if I enter fullscreen (windowed) mode

I am having the same issue. The game was running fine before 1.4, now I cannot turn the camera without getting headache inducing "skipping". I have tried turning off shadows, turning all graphics settings down to the lowest levels and running windowed, none of that has helped.

Edit: If I am indoors and switch to Windowed (fullscreen) mode it helps. But outdoors it still has the issues.
