days of stuttering back

[Cadillac]

I played it for the first time when it came out on PC... I was having stuttering and low fps in towns and camps.... Years went by I updated my PC... is everything fixed, they release an update and break it again??... I'm stuttering again when riding the motorcycle, inconsistent fps all the time, flickering lights and reflections.... what's the issue?

[UGX Rorke]

well first of all what's your specs?

[stardust]

I have zero stutters when on foot but on the motorcycle there can be a very tiny spikes here and there sometimes when loading the area I guess at high speed. I remeber it being much worse on my 10900K compared to 9800X3D

They took a perfect game which graphically still looked better than many current games and messed it up i never had any stutters and run everything full graphics at 3440 x 1440 around 144 monitors max now it stutters like a mother f running a 7800xt on a r97900x cpu 64 gb ram gen 5 everything from ram and m2 drives and board is gen 5.0 corsair mp600 m2 drives 4tb gaming and 2 tb for operating system

Traversal stutter have exp it only riding the bike, it happens less if you dont pan your camera when riding the bike.
This ain't ever getting fixed btw, its an isssue of a slop of an engine called UE with the devs of ue claiming forever that a fix is coming, esp in the latest version of UE yet to release...

Same thing happens on Oblivion with UE 5.

Cadillac, I have the EXACT same thing man.
Playing through the second time after several months and now the game is ruined.

I noticed this issue was not in Bends patch fix notes.
It better be because this is a massive issue.

I had this problem to apparently the game is un playable on HDD now, i use to had this install on my external HDD but now I had to transfer it to my SDD.

Not unplayable on a HDD at all for me (6TB 5400rpm) just the very occasional 1 frame drop on the bike. Really don't notice any difference from the previous game, GPU usage is perhaps 5% higher at the same settings but you are getting (slightly) improved graphics at those settings. It really shouldn't be unplayable on a HDD, even with maximum texture streaming I've seen HDD usage top out at 20mb/sec.

However, when I first installed it I had brutal performance - my VRAM on my 12GB 3060 was being topped out which made no sense. Was pretty sure I didn't have any mods installed, but regardless googling it, it's strongly recommended to erase the Config folder in \%localappdata%\Bendgame\Saved.

Once I did that and reconfigured my settings, performance was back to normal.

System:

i5-12400f
32GB DDR4 3200
RTX 12GB 3060

Edit: Oh, should add that I always avoid the game's built-in FPS limiter as well as its vsync. Force vsync on through your control panel and use someting like Rivatuner if you want to limit your frames. This isn't specific to this new update, but I found with lots of testing previously the game's FPS limiter really does a number on your frametime consistency, at least on the two systems I've played this game on.
