Stuttering

[[PCMR]Nerevar]

Hi, I havent played Darktide for months and decided to try it again. Problem is the game stutters like mad now, I tried a few things I found on google, but nothing changed. I got ATI 6750 XT, i7 6700k. 16gb ram, windows 10. Game runs well, I get 70-120 fps depending on whats on the screen, but it still stutters really bad, fps counter shows 87 while stuttering, its unplayable. Is this a common thing, or just me?

Any chance old mods are installed? One mod, the weapon customization mod, was giving me lots of stutters and freezes, so I had to get rid of it. I know some people have had performance dips from adding other mods, too.

No, I never used any mode, plus I have uninstalled the game months ago and reinstalled just now

The latest AMD drivers are the cause, you need to stay on 23.11.1 or older.

It is most likely the newest amd Adrenalin driver, 23.12.1 -makes darktide stutter all the time.
People have rolled back the driver, but I find that having adrenalin display the performance overlay helps quite a bit (weird but true.)

Even if you have not updated to this driver version it could be DX12 cache stutter anyway. Seems to me that the shader precaching do not precache all. If this is the case the stutter should go away after an hour or two of playing.

Oh damn, I updated my drivers few days ago, so I have the newest one. This sucks, Maybe I should wait for them to fix it and release another update, dont want to roll it back. I played 3 games so far, Im guessing its not enough to cache all shaders?

I got worse stutter now, like when I walk for example, I end up 10 meters further to where i was walking towards to, or when I shot with the columnus mk v once, half the mag was emptied because of that stutter and I thought it was the AMD drivers, because it got worse since I updated. However today I had such a stutter right at the start of a game and it happened that i got disconnected from the session back into the Mourning Star. At this point I'm not sure if it is the drivers since it all began with GPU driver updates, or if it is their servers now, because I'm pretty sure it is not the internet connection nor the cables.
