The stuttering while driving is insane.
It's driving me nuts, it's not tied to FPS really and happens for a quick second usually noticed when turning your vehicle.

I'm trying so hard to ignore it but ugh, the stutter while driving just feels awful.

This is on a 2080, 8700k @2560x1080

I have this in the original mafia 2 as well though. It's almost like the screen jumps, it drivers me nuts

Do you know if this is happening when your fps is above 100? Personally haven't experienced this bug yet, but then again I am capping my fps below 100, somewhere between 70-90.

I ran the entire story on high settings 145 with no problems 2070,i7-9700 @1920x1080

This is (probably) a hard drive speed issue. Likely the bigger assets causing the remaster to choke over the original.

Just tested what running this game is like on a slow HDD. Oh dear it's not a fun time. The map collision is tied to the map chunks, so if something hasn't loaded, you'll fall through it.

They don't even have a safety measure for it like GTA does, if you fall, you're stuck falling until you restart the checkpoint, it won't reset you.

Interesting. Might check this out. I have it installed on my regular drive. Going to reinstall it on my SSD (internally) or even external SSD and see how it goes).

It's god awful though, that's for sure.

The issue is GPU related, that's why forcing the fps to a specific range (I did 42-59) did solve the problem for me. There is another "fix" for the stuttering I found somewhere here- Browse to your mafia ii def. edition folder > pc > go for file properties of the game's exe> compatibility and check "disable fullscreen optimization". don't ask me what it does, but this fixed it for me.

Vsync ON and via RIvaTuner set the Framerate limit and Scanline sync to 60.

Worth a try, my system though can literally brute froce through bad oprimization becasue I have so much overhead so my game runs pretty much flawless.

It's not an issue of brute force. Even with a 2080 and a 8700k there is suttering while driving at 1080p

You need even more overhead, on my i9 10900k and rtx 2080ti I get perfect 60FPS 16.6ms at all times at 4K (+4msaa) all maxed out. If you want proof I would gladly record a video of it, just let me know.

I have 2080tI, 9900K, 16gb RAM, 120HZ Gsync monitor, game installed on SSD and at 4K I am getting these annoying microstutters when driving.
