Cutscenes stutter

[MundM]

Anyone else having this? Not the cutscene itself, but every time there is a cut, the image freezes for a moment. It was worst with Reykard. One of the greatest cutscenes ever made, ruined by odd technical issues.

Anyone have solved this? Some cutscene stutter micro freez like this one on youtube it's very anoying :( https://youtu.be/Cc6o9P9Vj-Y?t=62

It's just an error on pc I believe, maybe it happens on console too idk, anyways it's not our problem it's sadly a game flaw, that has yet to be fixed as far as I know

[phosTR]

Yes, they never fixed this ♥♥♥♥ since release. It's ridiculous tbh.

[purpl3 h4z3]

Yup, it happens since day one.

Yes, for me every cutscene does this to some extent, doesn't matter that the rest of the game is silky smooth.

Necroing this to point that I believe this to be an issue with Nvidia cards, specifically. Everyone that I know, who has had the issue, including myself, are running Nvidia cards, whilst everyone who hasn't had this issue is running AMD. Not sure if this is true for Intel cards, because I don't believe anyone runs those. Lol.

I use NVIDIA and i can confirm i have this issue with Rykard.

It's not an nVidia thing. It's "normal". More specifically it's a common occurrence across all hardware. nVidia, AMD, Intel... doesn't matter.

Seems to be caused by the game loading a large group of assets at a time in cutscenes, especially around camera and scene changes.

I think it's this. From is really pushing their engine with ER, and the cracks are starting to show with this game. Every camera angle of a cutscene is basically loading in assets in real time, causing freezes between shots. Another thing I noticed is that the Carian Study Hall's inverted instance has to be loaded via a cutscene (and also having a cutscene for opening the door at the end, something From has not done until this game), likely because their engine is incapable of changing level architecture during gameplay. Same reason they need a two minute-long cutscene to lift a bridge at Volcano Manor. It's not a stylistic choice, it's because that's the only way they can do it.

yes, this is especially noticable in Rykard's scene to a point where even the sound gets asynchronous when his draws his sword out of the serpent's head. My guess why this happens is that every time when the angle of the camera changes, they also do sudden changes to the model in the cutscene (like quickly switching from one animation to another), which given the insane amount of details on the models is probably a bit too much for the PC

Yes. I played this game on TWO different laptops while I lived in a truck the last 2 years and never had this issue. Now I’m sitting at home plugged into stable power, on my beefy desktop rig and the cutscenes are stuttering. Not to mention when I started playing last week the game would stutter and dip down to 1 fps every few seconds. I had to go turn shader cache to unlimited in nvidia program settings.

wait did turning shader cache to unlimited fix it?
