Hey Runners, here's a coordinated megathread for the new season! Externally posted tech support posted to r/MarathonTheGame is welcome, but feel free to use this space if something you are struggling with needs special focus!
I bought the game on release and have relatively decent but not amazing specs, despite this I have over 80 hours of playtime which has always been quite smooth, able to play on the lower end of high graphics settings with good FPS, I haven't played much recently and after installing the new update I am not even able to enter a game even at the lowest graphics settings due to error code rutabaga stating my frame rate is low, even in the menu the game is slow to load and very choppy. I have tried validating my game files, reinstalling, updating windows and checking my drivers but nothing has worked?
im also seeing ppl with just way more horrendous fps issues in menus as well. bungie lately has been pushing some really buggy stuff man, esp suck with the curreent employee morale 🥲
basically the post title tho, anyone see any comms from devs on twitter or smthn? its super important that if they are going to try to get players in the game past the alrdy lackluster onboarding, esp with the new mode being in cryo (which has the worst perf of all maps alrdy), they need to make sure that their advertised recommended specs actually play well for a competitve shooter.
Hi y'all. I have been experiencing strange performance issues with the game lately. I have a high end gaming laptop. In season 1 I used to get like 70-80 fps on my current settings, and now it hovers around 40-60. I'm not sure if it's my pc or the game itself, so I was wondering if any of you have also been experiencing this and possibly managed to fix it somehow? Thanks.
When loading into Vault Breaker I noticed my mouse movement was much more fluid. Realized that my FPS counter was off (they updated the counter btw, defaults to off at first) and once I turned it back on was getting around 50-60 FPS and in control was dealing with around 40-50! I used to chug entering Cyro and it would dip to the low 30s in control.
I've seen tons of posts of others having frame issues today but wondering if the lower end of specs got a boost?
(NOTE: I am using Process Lasso to get the best out of my rig for Marathon)
Specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
Windows 10
RAM 32 GB
Not played in a month and for some reason after logging in after the mid season update my fps has absolutely nuked. Anyone else experiencing low fps or is it just an issue with my pc?
I made a post like this at the end of Season 1 with a lot of success, and wanted to extend and offer again to anyone interested, especially with the new mode and mid-season update coming out.
I run a discord server for people wanting to make friends and have an easy time with finding competent and friendly squads. We have about 30 members with many of us being quite active players. We have a more chill crowd ranging from levels 40-80, and more serious players with levels in the hundreds. We play 3-5 nights a week often times, and I also do breakdowns of patches, updates, and announcements.
The game is significantly more fun with friends and consistent teams, especially when those people actually enjoy the game. So if anyone is interested in an invite, just let me know and I will DM you the link!
What started as a small Discord group with a few random crew fills that started playing together has now grown into a community with over 200+ members on its way to 300. If you're looking for an organic ground-up vibe with folks who love the game, then join us. We have players from all levels and experience, going back from launch week S1 to today. Here's what we offer as a Marathon community...
Friendly sherpa member roles who can help you with contracts or more difficult content if you'd like.
A non-toxic community, zero tolerance for any of that. From the highest level players to level 1, everyone here gets a fair shake and is involved with a community that works for all.
Marathon themed Discord layout, dedicated to this game and only this game.
Active admin and community mods who play the game.
An lfg accessible to members from all over. Currently at 247 members. I'd say we're probably 3/4 US based, the rest in the EU/Asia regions.
Invite link below for those interested. A new update is coming soon. Come talk Marathon shop with us. Hope to see you all there!
Just updated the game, and when I loaded in to the main menu I was met with chopiest frames you can imagen. I've seen slideprojecors with better framerate.
16 fps with DLSS quality and 8 fps with DLSS off or in performance.
Managed to find it was the shadow setting who tanked the performance. Now at 60 fps in main menu
Loaded into Vault Breaker Cryo.
Got between 30 - 20 fps.
Loaded into Perimitare.
Same results. Between 30 and 20 fps.
I usually, literally 24h ago, average between 70 - 60 fps depending on clutter.
Game files are validated.
Gpu drivers are fresh.
WTF happend??
Is anyone else having the same issue??
Do someone know a fix??
Edit:
I'm sure it's not hardwere related due it working fine before the update and no other game show this level of performance drop.
I’ve played since the server slam and I love the game.
My one issue: MY FPS SUCK
I have a 4070ti super 16gb, i7 13700KF, 32gb ram, 2tb ssd, 1440p 165hz monitor.
I run cyberpunk 2077 with every single graphics setting turned up to the max at 120fps+
Marathon? 80-100 fps.
I resorted to running on all low graphics and I’m noticing less frame drops but still only 80-110fps. 110 fps indoors and like 165 in the lobby (I limit the lobby fps)
With the highest graphics it’s actually the same at like 80-100, but with soooo many drastic frame drops in more crowded areas (of course)
I’ve tried so many guides, updating my drivers for cpu and GPU, updating my pc, optimizing through Nvidia, using the games “detected” best settings.. kinda everything
So what’s going on? Anyone else have this issue?
Also in night marsh, distant lights look so blurry and muddy it’s so weird
Low anxiety/stakes - PvE interested - friendly community - LGBTQIA+ and allies - international

Hey guys i wanna ask if some of you have any lfg discords with high level players? i’m asking different discords than average lfg or dads of marathon. Asking because i would love to find people i can for example grind ranked to reach high rank or run good cryo games constantly.

Anybody else experiencing this or no how to fix it? I’m playing on steam using an Xbox elite series 2 controller. No I don’t have any cheat software or whatever people use to cheat at video games. I’m not aware of any background programs I have running that might cause the issue. I’ve tried restarting my computer and the game multiple times. The game seems to be running fine and then I’ll just randomly DC and get this error. It lets me re-connect but I don’t really like having to be a sitting duck for a couple minutes in a game this high stakes lol
Dads of Marathon is almost 17,000, “Marathon LFG” is almost 11,000,
they’re pretty good, just never mind branching out. Open to smaller ones too if it’s good players / quality people. Just curious if anyone has any groups they really like
