Sudden Unplayable Performance in COD Warzone

[kurtkrys]

Before I tell you my specs, I just wanna point out, even with these specs, I was playing the game with what I can consider as playable frames for playing the game for fun (30-50fps).

I have a Athlon X4 860k, paired with a GTX 1050 2gb, with 8gb 1600mhz ram. I've been playing the game for almost a month with these specs, (through that month, I even upgraded my GTX 750 1gb, to a GTX 1050 2gb, which means I haven't experienced this issue before.), but 2-3 days ago, as I opened my warzone, I noticed that at the lobby, it was struggling to maintain 20-30 fps, as it would always have 40-60fps. As I started my game, it would just have these MAJOR stutters, to the point that it was genuinely unplayable, and just today, I noticed that the CPU Time in warzone is 30-60ms+ while in game, while my GPU Time is 6-17ms only. So far, I have tried these methods which has had little to no effect: Turned on/off game mode, Set Modern Warfare to Normal/Medium/High in terms of CPU Priority, Updated Windows, Reinstalled my GPU drivers, messed around with the config files of the game as proposed on YouTube, disabled Full Screen Optimizations of the game, turned up the Render Resolution to 200 so it would make my GPU work more, then to 100, then to 80, nothing.

 

BTW, I've "monitored", (by monitored, I mean alt tabbing while inside the game to check Core Temp), the temp of my cpu, and high temps isn't the problem, as it would only max up to 70C I believe.

Is there any way I can fix this? Thank you in advance.

 

P.S I've also tried to set my paging file to only my SSD, even though Warzone is installed in my HDD (My SSD is 120gb, and is my OS Drive, while my HDD is 320gb)

Does it take a bit to lag when u launch? It might be ram.

Not really, there isn't really a problem when I'm launching the game. In warzone, it shows the fps even at the main menu screen, and I would see no problem there, but once the screen where your character is walking is shown, that's where I would notice my CPU Time to rise and my fps to struggle reaching 30fps.

 

Can reseating the ram show a difference?

UPDATE: after posting my reply, I decided to download MSI Afterburner to monitor my CPU Temps and Usage (same with my GPU), while I was experiencing the major stuttering when I am in game, but all of a sudden, the performance is now back to normal?

 

Do note that I have not done ANYTHING after I posted this thread, I literally went to sleep, wake up, downloaded MSI Afterburner, and played the game. Though I have not taken a screenshot of Core Temp and MSI Afterburner's On-Screen Display while inside the actual game, but I have taken a screenshot of both Core Temp and the On-Screen Display while I was in the lobby, waiting to queue up.

tbh this can happen sometimes, and it may be difficult to figure out. But in your case it was probably cpu temp, tjmax 70c, is really low and you were close to that…

 

 

Also tips: in msi afterburner u can check temps with the monitoring tool, even after u exit a game. And it also shows "max" temp, so if it ever goes to 70, you know what happened.

second "tip": you could remove your sidepanel that should help getting lower temps - if it happens again.

 

 

ps: also sometimes the game will load stuff in the background which could overburden the cpu…

Well you are officially under the minimum system requirements on both GPU and CPU so expect all kinds of bugs, glitches and problems at all times and with every next patch that comes out. Sorry to inform you, but this just how gaming works - patches get implemented, drivers get updated, hardware becomes obsolete. Enjoy it while you can before the day comes when it will refuse to launch, because you don't cover the minimum requirements.

Mark as solution! Sounds great.
