Anyone playing with controller, can you test something for me?

When using a controller, bringing up the radial menu causes a huge stutter. Closing and opening it really fast basically turns the game into a slideshow.

Also, when using lesser healing potions. I'm sure there's other items as well, but I find it very strange why it would stutter doing these basic actions and nowhere else besides the occasionally traversal hitch.

I have framedrops too when i use the little heal potion. I use a xbox pad. But using the radial menu is fine.

Assuming you're using a fairly recent version of Windows, to make sure your OS is in good condition, run the following commands in a CMD prompt with elevated permissions…

Go through each of the following steps one at a time. Copy each line, one at a time , paste it into the DOS window and press return and it will then run. Wait until each runs and finishes before you move on to the next one.


Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /checkhealth

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /scanhealth

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth

sfc /scannow

Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore

Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

RESTART your computer as the last step.


To re-register all dll files, from a CMD prompt with elevated permissions:-

for %1 in (*.dll) do regsvr32 /s %1

These steps may pick up errors and will fix them. This procedure has fixed games not working correctly for me in the past.

I plugged in my controller to test this for you and my game stutters a little when I open the radial menu. If I spin the camera and spam L1 and B it gets really bad. My main char got loads of stuff in their inventory and that is where it is the worst so it seems like it lags a little more for every ring that the game have to create I guess?

I also have a huge stutter when throwing random stuff from my inventory at enemies in combat. Maybe not related but the only other time I notived any stuttering at all.

And from trying a little with the controller interface I am amazed. It looks great and intuitive. Wow. Gotta try it out.

I know right having your screen filled with awkward wheel menus is just as good if not better than hotkeys or simply clicking on a hotbar.

The screen is only filled with radial menus... when you open your radial menus. The UI is actually significantly cleaner than the keyboard and mouse UI because there's not a permanent mega hotbar with 50 icons on-screen at all times.

That's like saying you like having your screen filled with 4 character portraits at all times because that's what shows up when you hit tab. Just incomprehensible gibberish for no reason.

I know right seeing how much HP my party members have and which spells are still available to use is just incomprehensible gibberish. It's a CRPG not a third person action adventure.

I actually was about to post just now and you posted the solution before me: I figured it out, folks!

It's so dumb, but also makes perfect sense: it's the amount of radials your character has. I'd been foolishly testing this with my packrat main character with his whopping 14 radial wheels worth of tricks and trash.

Swapping to another character with just 3 rings and it's a very tiny hitch you can barely notice.

I'm a bit concerned by how bad it gets the more rings you have (especially since you seem capable of holding hundreds of items) but at least I figured it out! Also explains why others aren't seeing the same: probably aren't pack rats!

And yeah, it plays great with a controller. It's a bit awkward with some things but not as bad as you might expect. I still pop over to the mouse every once in a while if the camera acts strange for targeting something far above or below, but normally controller only is fine.

Playing local co-op with my wife, two PS4 controllers, never experienced this.

For the record, you can push in on the left stick which makes it easier to select things in the cases you mention. You can also zoom out enough that it'll give you a completely top down view making it even easier and easier still if you use both.

Thanks for the information, but I more mean when there's bizarre terrain and the camera doesn't want to play nice, so you nudge it an inch to the left and it skyrockets 3 floors above. Doesn't happen often, but it does once in a while. Would really like a way to use a detached cursor on gamepad for occasions like this, since selecting things ALWAYS moves the camera, unless I've missed something.

(You can also hold down the A button to search nearby containers and enemies, bringing up a list, but the range is limited so it's not always useful in the specific scenario I mean.)

You can use a detached cursor on the gamepad. That's what clicking in on the left stick does. Also to the holding A to search an area thing, that's something I only figured out yesterday or the day before and it's amazing. Lol

Edit: Also, not sure if you know this or not, but you can also use the Dpad to switch between targeted objects like chests and items that may be lying around.

No no, I mean detach the cursor from the camera, so that I can move them separately, like you would a mouse cursor. When I click in the left stick it detaches from my character, but the camera follows, making it annoying if something in a tricky spot, outside of the A search range and doesn't show up on the "show lootable items" button, which a lot of stuff doesn't for some reason?

Oh, ok. That makes sense. It's not perfect for sure.

So glad I found this thread, was having the same issue as you, they really need to patch this, having stutter due to a larger radial menu is stupid.

[Arion]

Radial menu has no stutter for me, and my PC is several years old just with a GTX 1650.

I think it has something to do with one of the graphic options, the one that uses AI to upscale and such. Try turning that off and see if it still happens.
