Please fix the annoying random micro-stuttering

[hexaae]

@DEVS
Please, fix the annoying random (micro) stuttering. The game sometimes has some kind of "hiccups" and jittery while keeping max framerate (so it's not a poor FPS issue but more like a frame pacing issue).

it depends on your drive

[hexaae]

NVMe 3000/2000 MB/s is not enough?
This game has some minor optimization issues probably on loading assets or on post-process effects displayed for the first time. Have nothing to do with FPS (stable) or disk loading delays.

[Telmo]

Yeah, it happens only for the first time. Some caching maybe? Totally wrong.

i haven't experienced any of this.

Well, it's minimal and a slight micro-hiccup whenever it loads for the first time a special fx (e.g. first explosion ever in very first level). It's just a subtle micro-lag if you pay attention looking at background scrolling at that moment only, and could be unnoticable for less picky players.

If you believe your have valid statement, I think forum discussion does not make any sense.

I played it at a friends machine, he has the GOG version, and the stuttering was definitely noticeable on his machine. Not a low-end machine either. It was annoying to be honest.

I think it depends on the NVidia driver version. I had to rollback to an older driver to fix browser resizing and sound stuttering issues and now R-Type Final 2 stutters a lot at the beginning of stages.

ATM the best settings I can use in terms of smoothness are:

NVidia Profile Inspector
2- Sync and refresh
Maximum pre-rendered frames = 6 [probably opinable option]
Prefered Refreshrate = Use the 3D application setting
Vertical Sync = Force On
3- Antialiasing
Toggle FXAA = On [removes final jaggered borders]
5- Common
Threaded optimization = On
Unknown [you must click on the magnifying lens + gears icon "Show unknown settings..."]
0x80857A28 = 0x0000001

Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit
Task = RTypeFinal2-Win64-Shipping.exe
Compatibility modes = DisableDXMaximizedWindowedMode (should be the same if you RMB on the exe and select Properties > Compatibility tab > Disable Fullscreen Optimization)

In-game settings
Fullscreen, vsync on.

N.B.
The game will always stutter the first time you re-launch the game after an Nvidia driver installation, at the beginning of each stage.

Devs should definitely focus on these annoying refresh/frame stuttering issues :(

is not the players job to work as a developer in order to fix things. Fix your ♥♥♥♥ together whoever did this game!

[Firehawke]

You really want pre-rendered to be 0 with low-latency set to Ultra for a game like this.

So I did some experiments with NVidia (GTX 1660 SUPER):

With driver 460.89 (old driver):
- stuttering at all times

With driver 466.63 (current):
- stuttering when running through a level the first time
- when running through a second time, no stuttering
- when relaunching the game and running through a level, no stuttering

I think this is because of some shader caching or possibly NVidia workarounds for the game (they do that all the time). So the conclusion would be to use the latest driver if possible.

No idea about AMD cards. I don't have any to test.

[hexaae]

Yep, cached shaders helps with big stuttering at the beginning of new levels (that's why it will do it again after you upgrade your NVidia drivers), but it's not only that: in general in game frame pacing is sub-optimal...
Hope devs will improve this technical aspect of the game ASAP.

No improvements with latest update 1.05?

Your profile pages shows GTX1070 and 1080p 144Hz on laptop.
I wonder your hardware may be not enough.
