frametime stutter issues

[Highly Regarded]

I'm getting some serious frametime stutter, while my actual fps doesn't dip below 60. My mouse poilling rate is under 1000hz, I saw the dev comment on that earlier, so that can't be my issue. Any suggestions for a fix?

Does it do it without EAC too?

Nope, not a single stutter without EAC on. That's the fix for now. Hopefully that gets smoothed out for MP later on.

Also been having the same problem, without EAC works perfectly fine.

I was getting stutters with EAC on in single player on the steam deck I'll try without.

Is it possible to host MP lobbies without EAC enabled on this game, or is it required for all online play?

+1 on this. I'd much rather not have to worry about EAC if I want to play online co-op.

I'm having the same stuttering issue on my system even with my mouse polling set to 1000hz. With EAC off it has 0 issues. I've tried different framerates and nothing seems to fix it. Gameplay did get better by setting my mouse polling to 1000hz, but there's still quite a bit of stuttering.

Quick update, today I launched the game with EAC enabled and found that in Windows Display Settings > Graphics that I had to set the Agent64.exe to run as "High Performance"/use my dedicated GPU. It may have been using my integrated graphics off my CPU. I discovered that since my performance got a lot better when I dropped my resolution to 1920x1440 from 3440x1440.

I don't have an igpu so that isn't relevant for me, but hopefully this helps someone else.

I also had to drop my resolution to 1920x1440 and use a controller for less stuttering even with using my correct GPU. I still have a little bit of stutter, but it's much better and more playable with EAC like that. Using a mouse even with 1000hz polling rate it stutters constantly.

I'm getting stutters suddenly after the update, both with and without EAC. No issues at all before.

It worked initially, but began stuttering again. Hope this issue can be fixed. My friend on Nvidia RTX 2060 Super doesn't seem to be affected, while I'm on the AMD RX 7900 XT.

Without EAC, it works perfectly smooth.

amd issues strike again. I have an rx 7600 gpu so I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was a driver issue and nothing to do with the developer.

I need to try a few things first before fully blaming it on AMD drivers. But my setup really hates certain unity games, it's almost always my plugged in 2nd monitor that messes with those games.

*Edit* After a windows update yesterday, the issue is completely gone. I didn't do anything else.

My specs are CPU - Intel i9 13900k GPU - RTX3090. I do have the latest drivers installed too from Nvidia. I've played around with multiple resolution and fps settings too. Nothing seems to really fully fix the issue. I played the game on my Steam Deck for comparison and it runs on that without any issues at all. Not a single stutter.

I'm hoping the stuttering issue can be fixed too. I prefer playing this game with mouse + kb but in it's current state it's not the best experience with EAC on. Playing with a controller is the only way to get a fairly decent framerate, but even then there's still a bit of stuttering.
