We are working on a fix for 8.40.
The quick summary is that 8.30 included a massive refactor of rendering code that sped up most platforms by making better use of threading.
Low end PC got worse though :-(
Side note - for crash fixes like this we make them optional for a while as they get propagated to all territories / regions and only require updating after we verify with telemetry that it actually addresses the issue. Should be forced soon if not already.
Patch is live as optional update.
There is a build either tonight or tomorrow to fix hitches. It sure has been two steps forward and one step backwards recently :-/
Thanks for catching - we’ll get that fixed in 8.40.
Looking into this. Thanks for the report.
It lags for a couple of games after you update if it continues you should look into improving your internet or device.
Hitches during first few games are shaders being compiled. We ideally find a way to do this during the lobby.
So it’s still there
Can you send me a screenshot?
Did a deep-dive for you on this sub, here is everything:
Thank you!
What about the trick to play vertically, will that be fixed?
Can you share a link?
Mobile will not be impacted.
I've been contacting epic about this and now someone want to do something about it??!
We deployed a fix for this earlier this week - are you still seeing this after upgrading to latest version?
We are still trying to identify root cause of iOS voice instability. Looks like a memory overwrite bug which means the code crashes in places unrelated to the bug, making this very hard to track down :-/
We have increased the size of the team looking into both this and iPhone 8 GPU hangs.
Both are “all hands on deck” type of issues internally.
It predominantly impacts iPhone 8. We are trying to identify the root cause so we can fix it.
QA verified this is fixed in 8.20 next week.
iPhone 8 and Vivox crashes have teams work on around the clock.
A source of disconnect issues will be addressed in 8.30. In the mean time, I would love to hear whether disabling WiFi assist helps if you get frequent disconnects.
We identified root cause of GPU hangs which should allow us to enable the reactive parts again. This will probably take a few versions though.
Can you drop me an email with your username at [email protected]?
Could you try disabling WiFi assist?
Chances are that your WiFi is being inconsistent and WiFi assist changes your IP address which we don’t handle yet.
We are working on addressing that in v8.40.
Same thing started happening to me, yesterday my game started freezing and crashing every match i tried to play. I play on an iphoneX and this had never happened to me before!
That’s a different issue - one we finally were able to identify the root cause for and should have a fix later this week.
This is a broad issue that requires a client fix. ETA later this week together with overall stability fixes.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
