Poor performance on Geforce now, all low settings, low resolution

Opening 1 breach results in 10 fps.
Vulkan is better than Directx 12 when it comes to FPS, but Vulkan results in very long loading screens.

What exactly do you expect GGG to do with that? You should complain to geforce now
Can you post your hardware specs and OS?

I'd advise against lowering your resolution or playing on low settings - kinda defeats it.

It's not clear why either would be relevant.

Specs matter and is relevant to the issue.

The fact that op is running low res and settings says a lot.

Respectfully - are you quite certain you understand what GeForce Now is?

I can assure you; the specs of the OP's machine are almost certainly a non-factor. They are not playing the game locally - the game client is, presumably, not even installed on their device. If it is, it is likely on older build. The OP is streaming to their computer, à la Twitch.

Of course. So, GeForce Now is Nvidia's attempt at remote gameplay (client to server bi-directional) where stream is encoded to client and then client provides input and sends back data. Twitch streaming is mostly one way - server to client - there's no given client input that needs to be sent and processed aside from tcp/acknowledgement for packets received.

There are many problems with GeForce Now as one may realize. The current infrastructure in place isn't ready for this type of gameplay - due to nature of how networking packets and hops work. Factors such as latency, distance to server, networking equipment, etc play a major role. Although there are paid tiers for this service, sadly, each user doesn't have access to a full suite of hardware just for themselves. It's certainly a tech for the future when things are in place and ready for it.
Literally nothing you mentioned impacts FPS in any way.

Now, if OP had been talking about noticeable input lag, you might have been closer to the mark...
