Lagging / stuttering when turning camera around. Any fix? (FIXED)

[Sevicler]

I'm experiencing this problem where my FPS starts stuttering whenever I turn the camera around to, say, look around (without locking on to any targets). left, right, up, down, doesnt matter, it always lags when the camera moves around.

If the camera stays still it doesnt lag, it also doesnt lag if I circle a locked target.

Any fix for this?

EDIT: Turns out, there really was a driver issue. I had to clean install the driver and now the game works perfectly.

Thanks for the help

strange symptom, what specs you have ?

GPU
CPU
RAM (how many modules, which frequency)
fullscreen or windowed ?

I’ve had this in things like GoW and RDR2 when they were installed on a hdd. Moving the install to ssd sorted it… if that’s relevant!

I had something like this when I was running budget rig, with 4 GB RAM, with system on HDD. It was late 2017 when fortnite launched, and it sucked like 4 GB RAM and 4 GB pagefile, and whenever I moved camera it would lag. Friend of mine got 4GB RAM in laptop but system could use 2.4 GB and 1.6 was greyed out. Games would load up terribly slow, and the lag would be insane then laptop died few days later :D

RTX 3060 Ti
Ryzen 5 4650g
32gb Ram, 3200mhz
borderless windowed

also as a sidenote: this moving camera lag doesn't happen in Resident Evil 2 and 3 remake.

Game is installed in an Nvme SSD, so disk drive shouldn't be a problem unless my SSD is dying (which it isn't)

Thinking of doing a reinstall to see if it fixes the problem

at borderless windowed it is possible the 60Hz window interfer with the possible higher windows frequency in use.

you know the game is capped to 60Hz. a frequency higher than 60Hz in windows can cause screen tearing and lag of recalculation in the 60Hz window because there is simply no data to calculate the frequency difference properly.

check if the problem appears in fullscreen.

Problem appears in fullscreen.

I did try vsync although I havent tried to limit my monitor to 60hz when playing. I should try that and check if the turn-around lag still appears

[DevaVictrix]

Yeah, maybe try setting the desktop to 60hz. It shouldn’t matter in fullscreen but I think when windowed or borderless you’re using whatever your os is set to.

this is really strange. maybe it has to do with the actual NVIDIA drivers, the actual driver has some bugs, maybe try a older driver version, technically it makes no sense that a turn around cause a lag because the game renders a 360 degree view around the player location.

Since the problem appears also at fullscreen (at fullscreen the monitor get forced to 60Hz) the GPU driver would be the last option to cause this strange behavior.

Right so I tested the screen at 60hz with both fullscreen and borderless windowed. Still lagging when turning around

I'm gonna try to reinstall the game

[Sevicler]

Funny story: tested this out in my laptop with rtx 3050 ti - that laptop has no problems whatsoever with camera movement. And that laptop screen is set to 120hz. Beginning to suspect this is a faulty install, so yeah I'm reinstalling rn

[Sevicler]

Okay turns out it was a driver problem. Nvidia geforce experience installed the driver incorrectly so I had to clean install. Now there's no turning lag.

Thanks for the help, guys!

As i said the driver was the last option that cause the problem.

Good to know that a clean reinstall should be tested for the actual NVIDIA driver.

The actual driver caused a lot of problems for some ppl.

If Starfield plays super smooth performance with FSR2 or FSR3, then this Elden Ring will land to pit.

Why do you believe that after selling 20,5 million copies fromsoft or bandai namco have any need to care about how other games are doing?
It's not like Elden Ring is some kind of live service game and neither is Starfield.
