Stuttering

[Mycroft [Peb]]

Hello. I'm getting very noticeable stuttering every 3-4 seconds making the game pretty much unplayable. I've restarted a few times, I have higher than needed specs but have also tried lowering/disabling all the graphics settings I could but still the same.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

The game is freshly released. So no idea without enough information. Best to start with a DxDiag report ~

Whenever I read such, though, it reminds me of the Xbox gamepass issue which caused regular stutterings with Denuvo games. It was weird, but it was limited to Xbox gamepass users and the issue was resolved the moment related Xbox softwares were removed.

Welcome to Denuvo and why no one likes it lol.

I've had this. The nvidia 17/10/2023 drivers caused many issues for me in this game. I rolled back to the previous driver and its running beautifully. Hope this helps.

Thank you for this precision!

I am having a similar issue. It feels less like a loss-of-frames stutter and more like time advances. I.e., it does not feel like a freeze followed by catch-up, but rather that time jumps forward slightly every so often. In dungeons this feels like my character jumps forward al of a sudden every few seconds. In the lounge it is weirder in that every time I click the mouse all of the character animations of the npcs seems to skip forward a few frames. Very weird. I would think it was a server lag thing if not for me playing singleplayer (though I guess it could be using a server to run single player instances, who knows).

Anyway, I decided it makes the game unplayable for me as well. Hoping a gmae patch, server update, or driver update fixes it soon.

Are you using a fixed or dynamic frame rate?

I was able to solve my problem by turning vsync off. (Framerate capped at 120, though I didn't try other values yet.) Someone mentioned a driver rollback fix, so regarding that I am using the latest nvidia drivers on a 3080ti.

My monitor is a 240Hz gsync monitor, so I wonder if the high frame rate or gsync+vsync was an issue. I don't usually run into problems like this. Only other issue in the past I can think of is trying to play Outer Wilds at more than 60Hz and needing to change the simulation tick rate in an ascii config file. But that was a game logic thing, not a graphics drawing issue.

Good luck!

Well, whenever someone blames a new driver software there is always a high chance that they did not check the settings correctly as in some setups the auto-optimisation of games resets. Especially with games like Endless Dungeon due to the app's architecture with Unity.

In doubt one can always set up a FPS cap globally with the graphics card software or specifically for the game. That fixes it with most games alongside running it in windowed mode and using the freeware Borderless Gaming.

try disable vsync if you have..i have some strange micro-freezes with it ( in same time fps is stable 60fps) :|

Thanks, we're also going to check on our side!

Thanks for this tip, turning off V-sync fixed it for me as well. Cheers!
