Hookshot version

2.1.0

What kind of problem

Low fps or stutter

What happened

After a while of gameplay and entering new areas my fps drops substantially. I first noticed this after leaving kokiri forest and re-entering after obtaining the ocarina. When I restarted the game it started running a lot smoother after that. Similarly upon first entering castle town the fps was horrible, obviously I know shaders need time to compile but I was in there for over 5 minutes and when I restarted it worked just fine. I'm thinking running out of vram was the issue.

Where in the game

Kokiri Forest, Castle Town, Lost woods

How often

Every time

Graphics card and driver version

3070ti 617.42

I'm having the same issue. The longer I play, the more the FPS drops, but restarting the game makes it run smoothly again. Feels like VRAM is getting maxed out.

I have this exact same issue; I have to restart the game to fix my FPS.

Same issue here. It also happens while roaming around Hyrule Field.

Same issue here, noticed when I returned to the kokiri forest and instead of having the 50+fps that I normally have it went down to 15-20fps, restarting the game works tho

Same issue here, 6700XT 5600x 32gb RAM. I believe this issue is related to the VRAM usage, I have noticed the game launches utilizing around 7gb of my VRAM, after playing for 15-20 minutes it maxes out at 12gb (the max my card has) and either crashed the driver entirely or game needs restarted to fix. FPS jumps back to 58-60 after reboot.

if you have more than one screen if you mouse click on a non playable monitor the drops stop happening.

Thanks for the report. Reports of the same problem are now collected in #993, which lists this one with your details and links back here, so one fix closes them together and the open list stays readable. Follow #993 for the fix, and add new details there (or here). If this turns out to be a separate problem it will be reopened.
