Stuttering and micro stutters?

[Kurtino]

The game doesn't feel very smooth at all. It feels like it hangs or hiccups every so often when it comes to loading things. I'm on a 2080ti and 9900k, game defaulted to Ultra, and the fps ranges from 144 to 90, but it doesn't just dip in frame rate, it literally hangs sometimes when I'm turning the camera or moving to a new location. Lowering settings still gave me the hang even if my frame rate was 10 higher or lower, like its struggling to load something.

First of all it is EA...what did we expect...

But the helpful part...maybe...

Specs:
i7 3960X 3.3GHz
32GB RAM

nVidia 1080 x2 SLI

When I first started playing this I had it on a spinny disk and it had loading and audio issues whenever changing between playable scenes and prerecorded ones. That was immediately indicative of hard drive loading issues. I moved the game over to my SSD and those issues went away. Interestingly I immediately noticed stuttering and lag when turning my view. I changed graphics to low from ultra, no change. Went from Full screen to windowed fullscreen, no change.

You want to know what fixed it and what proves EA is the worst!? How many of you are using mice that have instant fly change sensitivity buttons on their mice? Meaning you can change your mouse sensitivity using a button on the mouse to some preset settings? I do. I set my mouse to the highest sensitivity, usually reserved for sniping in most games, and lo and behold the lag and stuttering while turning and fighting went away!

I have never had issues with any other game with this. Points more to the porting issue from a controller to a mouse as a problem in my opinion, but that's EA for you! I hope this helps others of you solve your issues. I found mine by chance but I hate when stupidity like this makes a game unplayable. Maybe this will fix your issues, maybe not, but seems pretty unlikely as a solution till I was able to replicate it by just flipping back to normal sensitivity and it start acting up again. Here's hoping it is that easy for the rest of you!

Have you played EA games? They're not known for performance issues. Throwing the meme "Lol EA bad" aside, there is no consistency with poor game performance, only things like poor microtransaction practices. Star Wars Battlefront 2, for example, runs beautifully.

[Teh Rascal]

Yes I understand....I am referring to EA as the destroyer of all that is holy in general....Destroyer of good gaming companies, etc....

These larger companies that push aside quality control for profit are the bane of the gaming industry...EA is one of the worst offenders...and here we catch a side effect of that. 20 years plus ago, games wouldn't be allowed off the shelf in the condition they can be now. But I'm not here to argue semantics, I came to help. Hopefully this "solution" will help others till they patch it.

same crap happening here, 2070 super, 32 gigs 3200 mem, 1700x

No issues here. Cap your framerate to the lowest common denominator instead of letting it run wild.

The game isnt dropping wildly in framerate. Its stuttering.

[Markitron]

I'm getting stuttering as well and I noticed it happens no matter what the frame cap is set to. I'm getting stuttering on my main pc with a i7 9700k w/ 2080 Super and my laptop with a 1070. Believe it or not, RDR2 runs smoother than this game for both of my machines with all the settings dialed in.

little late to the party but if you cap the fps at the lower setting... the fps just drops even lower... its actually kind of absurd... I was playing at 120 fps with it dropping into the 80-90s... so I lowered it to cap at 60 fps... then it just started dropping down into the 40's... There is def an optimization issue with the game

EA like any other game dev is known for performance issues... you point out BF and BF2 from DICE which actually had performance issues when they came out... hell they have yet to fix the performance issues with BFV or BF1... more to the point of performance issues we can point toward Anthem and Andromeda... given this game is from the creators of Titanfall and Apex Legends you would think it wouldnt have issues but Titanfall 2 had some performance issues at launch

Not saying its perfect but very minimum for me. Never stutters during fighting or platforming and like one hitch at times when transitioning, even then its kinda rare.

Gsync monitor here. I disable steam overlay, disabled origin-ingame, disable vysnc in game and nvidia control panel. use msi rivatuner to cap frames to 120 gsnyc will not cap frames alone without vsync. Prolly doesnt have anything to do with it, but i also use Ultra low latency via nvidia control panel. Also i always disable Nvidia ansel, though i have just been install the DCH drivers that does not even install it, as of late.

Hope this helps someone.

Either:

1. Not enough video card memory. I've seen 5503mb.
2. Old fashion hard drive.?

I have a FTW 1080 and running @ 2560x1440. No issues. Steady and I mean steady 60fps.

I mean you've ignored both the OP and the posts in this thread because both of those are not the issues. I already posted that I had a 2080ti and later a NVMe Samsung M.2 970 Pro, and so have others posted that they're using SSDs and good hardware.

so whats the solution?
why do some have an issue and I'm running it fine?

Because there are infinite varieties of software/hardware with PCs and that will always mean that some games will have issues with something on one system, when they don't on another. No game in history has never had performance issues and no game ever will be released that works perfectly on all systems.
I know that doesn't answer the question for this issue, but it explains why.

I don't know, there are 10 pages of people trying to figure that out, as well as numerous threads and articles all reporting the same issue.

You also have your game locked to 60 fps, which is going to reduce noticeable stutters because your frames aren't high enough to see them. At 144hz or 120hz nvidia reports that the stutters are dropping me down to around 70-80ish for a second when they happen, so maybe if I lock my game to 60fps I won't see them, but that isn't a fix it's a compromise.

Different hardware configurations produce different results. Even consoles are getting this issue. You not having a issue doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, or that it's automatically a result of X or Y because your X and Y works.

So far what we know is it's something to do with how the game loads things, and something to do with how it handles memory (not the VRAM of a GPU not being enough or fast enough).

Here's an example:

https://www.naguide.com/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-hitching-stutter-and-lag-minimizing/

Do a google search for the game's name and stuttering and you'll see articles all about it for PS4, Xbox, PC, and different kinds of solutions that may/may not work.

Here is what I did that helped reduce stuttering drastically, from advice in this thread:

In Nvidia Control Panel
1. Low Latency Mode - On
2. Power Management Mode - Prefer Maximum Performance
3. Texture Filtering Anistropic - On
4. Texture Filtering: Quality - High Performance
5. Texture Filtering Trillinear - On
6. Threaded optimization - On
7. Triple Buffering - On

Hope this summary helps someone
