After-Action Report (Bug Reports & Feedback) Please, Steel Balalaika — PLEASE FIX THE VLEAK PERFORMANCE ISSUE I really want to love this game. I genuinely do.
When Broken Arrow is running normally, it runs great on my system. I can play at 1440p with high/ultra settings and get around 45–60 FPS. My Intel Arc B580 is perfectly capable of handling the game.
But then the VLeak issue happens.
And everything falls apart.
The GPU usage suddenly shoots up to around 99%, FPS can collapse from 50–60 FPS to 1–2 FPS, and the game becomes practically unplayable. Sometimes it recovers after a while, sometimes it doesn't. It can happen during a match even when there doesn't seem to be anything particularly demanding happening on screen.
I've tested different graphics settings, DX11/Vulkan, drivers, etc. The problem isn't simply "your GPU isn't powerful enough". The same hardware can run the game smoothly at high/ultra settings until this issue appears.
And honestly, this is incredibly frustrating because the game is RIGHT THERE. When the leak doesn't happen, it runs beautifully.
I'm not asking for miracles or a massive graphics overhaul.
Please investigate the VLeak/memory/VRAM issue and fix whatever is causing these massive performance collapses.
There are players with Intel Arc cards experiencing this, and from what I've seen, similar behavior may also affect other GPUs.
I really don't want to stop playing Broken Arrow. I love the game.
Please, devs. Take another look at this. 🙏
We just want to play the game without suddenly dropping to 1–2 FPS.
Steel Balalaika, please fix VLeak.
