Stuttering After Patch 7

[AlphaKennyWhere]

I have third party mods that all worked fine. After Patch 7 the game warned me about some conflict with a mod for heads - I ignored it and launched the game. Everything works fine but the game stutters like crazy.

My settings are all the same. Nothing changed. The game is on an SSD running on a 3090 and a 5900x. It ran flawlessly until patch 7.

Maybe you ought to actually listen to your mod warnings. Running a 4060 with an i7 14700f, and am not getting any stuttering whatsoever. I'm also running modded, but -not- getting that warning.

Mod issue, not game issue.

I'v never used mods but my RTX 2080 Ti is stuttering in cinematics like crazy and i don't know what's happening it's never done this before.

Game ran like a dream before patch 7. The warning is just for some mod that adds new armor and I like the mod (it was originally about a heads mod but it changed ???). Now there is constant stuttering after patch 7. Game issue. Not mod issue.

Also, see post below you where someone without mods is now stuttering in cutscenes post patch 7. Game issue.

Went back to Patch 6,butter again.
Take that as you will,but to me,its a freakin game issue. "Work fine on my machine" idc it doesn't anymore on mine lmao,unless I'm on patch 6.

After any new patch. you need to clear your shader cache. Its located under here: %localappdata%\Larian Studios.

There is a levelCache folder. go ahead and delete that only. Then for AMD and Nvidia you can rebuild your shader cache for your Graphics.

AMD: %LOCALAPPDATA%\AMD\DXCache

Nvidia: shell:LocalAppDataLow\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion\DXCache

Note: to clear driver cache you have to be in safe mode. Once done, verify file integrity and make sure you are on latest build. Then launch the game. The game will now rebuild the cache from scratch. You may get a few stutters but it will be smooth on DX11. Vulkan may take a while as well.

Thanks for the reminder, I guess it's my turn to try this! :P ^^

I installed AMD 24.12.1 and the stuttering went away. I am on 6800XT if that helps.
(After deleting the Cache files after updating the stutter disappeared completely. I am not updating the driver anymore unless there is a BG3 specific driver fix by AMD or Larian requires it for Patch 8 to run properly.

I recommend turning off vsync in game, and using FSR2.2 Quality or DLSS2 Quality. Then using Rivatuna to cap the game FPS, then enable Gsync or Freesync Premium
