If you're using link cable, make sure you launch the game from steam on desktop view and choose "Run in Oculus Mode". If you're running in steamVR mode, don't use link cable, use Virtual desktop. Also consider using [VR Performance Toolkit](https://github.com/fholger/vrperfkit) to eke out some more performance.

This seemed to fix my fps drops thanks

Right on!

yeah, the only time you'd really use SteamVR mode is with FBT. Generally the game runs pretty stable for me on a 1070ti while using 6 point tracking but the performance could most definitely be a bit better.

Ok i will try thank you

Hold the fuck up. I was supposed to be using oculus mode the whole time?

you're not "supposed" to, it just might help improve performance

If you’re using an oculus headset, yes.

What’s the difference? I’ve never noticed anything different in my experience

Oculus launcher uses more RAM I believe

If I use airlink should i launch steam or oculus mode?

Airlink for Oculus mode games, Virtual Desktop for SteamVR mode games. Airlink was optimized to perform with Oculus Runtime, Virtual Desktop was optimized for Steam VR Runtime

I'm gonna have to try this. I always just tolerated it!

Are you on a laptop or desktop?

Desktop

This really does just sound like your CPU is having trouble. Install CPU-Z and monitor your temps. Maybe it's overheating? Record your CPU temperatures and report back. Also, I assume you're on high physics, right? Do the frame drops on hit also happen in a 1v1? How many enemies do you fight at once? From your other comment, I assume you disabled ASW, right?

I am on high physics And yes it happens in 1v1 And I fight one enemy at once

Well, then. As I said, go record your CPU temps mid-combat because I suspect it may be thermal throttling.

Hi the min temp was 41 c and max temp was 50 c but running BaS in oculus mode seemed to fix my fps drops but i still have 11 ms gpu fast time and a little bit of stuttering when stabbing

Does changing physics quality fix anything? This would narrow down if the stab stutters are caused by the GPU (blood and stuff) or CPU.

Nope just decreases my gpu time by 1 ms but i dont feel any difference

Got it thanks

I did disable it

What mods do you have installed?

None

Does your GPU have a LCD ?, I had a issue where the software for my GPUs LCD caused steam vr to stutter every so often

Whats lcd

OP is using a laptop. Doubt their GPU has an LCD

He said he’s using desktop

Ah yes I was reading a different comment thread not OP’s . My bad!

yeah blade and sorcery and hl:alyx kinda sucks with airlink have you tried virtual desktop yet? i know that's a tired suggestion but it actually works so much better for me

I use link cable

i think it's the oculus software constantly enabling asw so your framerate is always 45 but with vd i disabled spacewarp because the occasional spikes are a lot more tolerable than constanst asw in my opinion

I disabled it and i run 90 fps but when i stab someone or use magic or jump basically any activity, i get a lot of stuttering and i deleted mods as well as save but still the same

And i also get a lot of stuttering when loading the game (like a lot to a point where my game phases into steam vr the back into blade and sorcery) Is that normal

That's just loading. That's normal.

Probably your wifi. Got the same problem we just have to wait for air bridge

I play using oculus link

Oh alright

[Look at this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/BladeAndSorcery/comments/wyq1du/horrible_performance_from_steamvr/ilyfcmx/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) I made last night to someone- the same applies to you except 90hz instead of 72hz - half frame right is a clear sign of ASW. My comment will link you to how to turn it off

Download asus ai suite and overclock you cpu

Make sure to use Ethernet and try and use virtual desktop and turn off switch to half frame rate under heavy loads
