I submitted a support ticket a few releases ago when I started happening. The support agent eventually concluded it was due to Shroud performance issues rather than my computer. My drivers are up to date, and the last time I looked my computer more than meets the recommended requirements to run the game. Regardless, I cannot play Shroud on this computer.

 

My first recommendation would be to adjust your video settings to see if being set to Fastest and with all video options set to off improves this for you, first and foremost. Additionally, we're curious if a full clean reinstallation of the client might resolve this. If this does not improve your experience, please respond and we'll have a member from our tech team review this further.

Thank you.

 

you have to add the directx 9 "forcer" on Shroud of Avavat link. .. i also can't play from release 33 without this flag.. (add: -force-d3d9 )

I turned every video option off and set it to 'fastest' with little noticeable improvement. I can generally travel on the overland map and handle roving encounters. However when I entered Nightshade Pass the game quickly stopped responding. Multiple tried resulted in the game crashing even quicker.

What is this and how do I do it?

 

You mean wipe my Steam files and reinstall them?

 

I also updated the non-Steam version of Shroud on this computer. No improvement in performance.

 

you are on windows OS ... just CERATE and EDIT a link to shroud of the avatar main executable adding the -force-d3d9
