If you're getting stutters, turn on pre compile shaders before playing

[Kait0s]

The game has an option to compile all your shaders before playing but by default it's not set to on. Go to your settings and in the "game" tab there should be an "other settings" or something similar. There will be a shader related option there, turn it on and restart. It'll take a while depending on your hardware but after compiling you should be good to go.

Fact

Big thanks for this 🙂 Couldn't find the option for the life of me!

Handily, it seems you don't need to restart after enabling it either, it worked for me just by quitting back to title screen

I am glad Capcom added that option. Game runs smooth aside from the random frame drop in world tour when you crash through a bunch of billboards.

the loading takes a while, is this suppose to happen every time you boot up the game?

Compiling shaders are done once, until you change settings or install new drivers.

I found forcing vsync through the game profile in the drivers also solved issues for anyone that still has issues after shaders.

in my case, with vsync on, from drivers or from the game(individually) GPU usage goes to around 80-90% and has those drops.
with vsync disabled, the game runs super smooth with only ~50% GPU usage on the same settings.

Any clue why vsync would have this bug?
It's the only game with this.

well for me vsync is disabled in game, but i was getting slow motion at the start of the round alot, my monitor is 144hz freesync so forcing it through the game profile in the drivers solved it for the most part, still get spikes but not like it was.

on the whole not sure, but i think with the crossplay it's going to happen, it sure isnt my internet i get 940mb down and 110mb up.

you can set it to PC only but last night not many were on so had no choice but to use crossplay to get fights.

some kind of latency thing somewhere in the mix, but at least it's not as painful now as slow motion for 5-10 seconds at the start of every round was really spoiling it.

This is so vital, why is it an obscure option?

Thanks for the reply.
g-sync/freesync would be the best option for this, but I don't have such a monitor.
Since the much hated 3070 I have, blows this game out of the water without vsync, I am trying to run without it and use MSI to move the scanline to the top of the screen.

Also sorry, for the v-sync detour. I don't get why the shader comp is disabled by default. Tutorial was very stuttery without it

the precompile option isn’t there for me, does anyone know why? ( im on a steamdeck currently )

[AkiraJkr]

It's not in the Graphics settings, it's in Game > Other Settings for some reason.

Interesting! Hmm, I'll try this later. I'm on the steam deck, but I only get stutters when offline. If I'm connected via WiFi, no stutters at all. Offline or disconnected, it's absolutely brutal though regardless of settings. Wonder if this has anything to do with that...

yeah offline is maybe the case because online it never stutters
i wonder why it stutters offline???

It's a bug.
I already reported this to Valve and I HIGHLY SUGGEST you guys also do this.
It ONLY HAPPENS if you START SF6 in OFFLINE mode while wifi is disabled.

Funny enough, if you start SF6 in offline mode with wifi ENABLED and then manually disable wifi on the main menu, there are no stutters at all. Go figure.

These stutters do not happen in windows on the Deck.
*this has NOTHING TO DO WITH SHADERS!*
