Game suddenly started stuttering

[IT]

Anyone having this problem? The game was running smooth for the entire month, then one day when I started it the game has some periodic stutter, most notably my mouse would lag. It is not even about the graphic setting or model cache because it is stuttering at the title menu.

Initially thought there might have been some background update running on my computer but the memory and CPU are just at about 50% and 20% respectively.

I am wondering if having too much savedata would slow it down but it would be a pain to clean them.

Same here, I tried to delete all the saves but still happening, mostly in combat when I choose an enemy to attack

Not entirely certain what you mean by stutter.

Three fixes will improve act 3 significantly.

In Steam for BG3 select properties and add "--skip-launcher" to disable and bypass the Larian Launcher when you run the game.

The next thing that tends to help is to modify your runtime priority and set it to high. Do not set this any higher.

If using DirectX11 in Windows, you can create text file called bg3.reg or whatever, but the .reg extension is required here for simplicity unless you want to manually do this.

in that text file...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options/bg3.exe/PerfOptions]
"CpuPriorityClass"=dword:00000003

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options/bg3_dx11.exe/PerfOptions]
"CpuPriorityClass"=dword:00000003

Save the file. Click on it to add the keys to your registry.


and lastly disable dynamic crowds in the in-game settings.

A 0,5 stop when u do certain actions, my trigger is when i select an enemy to attack him, it happens all the time.
The game goes 60fps ALL the time in ultra, the specs are not the problem, obviously I tried to low all and still happening

Thanks. Disabling the launcher works, for now. Now that you mention it, I even notice the launcher stuttering. Could just be my prejudice playing tricks though. Priority is already high so I didn't do anything about it.

Yep, right after a Windows update no less. But I don't think it is relevant.

I actually started getting crashes after yesterdays windows update. I had 150h played with like one or two crashes. Now my moonrise towers zone crashes in 2-3 minutes after loading with dx error...

Interesting. There is a security update associated with it so maybe it does jeopardize the Larian Launcher. Too small a sample size to draw any conclusion though.

So............i seems to have narrowed down the problem, what causes my crashes in ONE zone, specifically moonrise towers. Its floating text. LMAO

I lowered resolution and was running around fine until i ran into astarion and shadowheart conversation and game crashed.

Loaded again ran around a bit and casted feather fall, as soon as feather fall text poped up, game crashed

Loaded again, fast travel to moonrise tower entrance, waiting in stealth. As soon as zhrell started some monologue, game crashed.

Any ideas about possible fix? Might it have something to do with windows font or whatever?

I honestly dont have a clue how to fix it. Even though im 99% sure its what causes crash, because shadowheart for example was constantly getting buff pop ups running in justiciar armor near and out of light sources

[The Lone Rider]

Same here. Constant crashes on high end machine. Tried lowering settings. Nothing helps

Hey, i had periodic stuttering. I fixed it by disableing FSR 2
