Major input delay and extremely slow framerate on a moderately powerful machine.

With a gen3 NVME, a 2080ti, 64gb of OC'ed RAM, and a Ryzen 9 3900x I'm not sure what the issue is. I also have a 1440p gsync monitor. This reminds me of the terraria issue I had, just wondering if anyone else is getting this issue with hardware similar to mine.

Something similar here. My frames show 60+ but the whole game just seems to tear and shutter constantly. As if it needs Vsync badly, but vsync on or off makes no change.

So it seems that if I lock my framerate to 60 it runs much smoother, I'm going to try and add it to NVIDIA control panel and try and manually set it to 60 so I don't have to keep changing it everytime I launch only this game.

Made a simple guide for it.

nope.. I tried again, and it seems the only thing that works is setting your refresh rate to 59.8 or 60 whatever your monitor does.. anything above 60 seems to freak it out, and if you try and cap it in NVIDIA it it still suffers the same problems and ever worse framerate.. this was terribly troubleshot, I can't believe that a single playtester or dev had not seen this issue.

I used the 60fps limit. It does help. It is better but still not right. Again, Vsync on or off makes no difference. Windowed, borderless, fullscreen makes no difference. I have not yet tried capping the FPS through windows display though. Off to try that next.

[Beardsplosion]

Yeah, seems about the same either way for me. Limit refresh in windows to 60, tried with and without 60fps cap in Nvidia, and with and without Vsync. As long as I have a 60fps cap somewhere, it helps but doesn't eliminate the problem.

Setup a custom mode at 120Hz instead of 144Hz, the game internally is running at either 30 or 60 (I haven't dug in to check) for it's game logic, so 144Hz is almost worst case for a refresh rate to run the game at as a result because nothing lines up so there will be crazy inconsistent stutter. You'd get the same stuttering mess playing it on a 72Hz or 85Hz monitor.

It's a common enough thing across multiple games where 144Hz andd 165Hz monitor users report stutter that I used CRU to override my monitor permanently so it stops even offering 144Hz, only offering 120Hz and 60Hz video modes as far as my computer is concerned.

As for concerns of input latency or the like at 120Hz versus 144Hz or 165Hz? It's 8.33~ms versus 6.93~ms versus 6.06~ms, all of which are a HUGE improvement over the 16.66~ms that 60Hz has so you shouldn't notice any difference honestly.

Is 120htz working for you? When I set it to 120 before I had the same issue, but I will try again next time I play, though I did put it on my 4k tv and I set that to 60 because it's easier than attempting 120.
