PSA: Fix for Camera Stutter

[Willikins]

I've found that limiting your frame rate via NVIDIA Control Panel (or AMD equivalent) seems to solve the issue, while seemingly mitigating random crashes too.

1) Open NVIDIA Control Panel
2) Go to 'Manage 3D settings'.
3) Click on the 'Program Settings' tab.
4) Look for 'UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection'. It doesn't matter if it's 'u4.exe' or 'tll.exe' since it seems to apply the same settings to both.
5) Scroll down to 'Max Frame Rate' and set a limit of your choosing. Since I have a 144hz monitor, I've set it to 144fps. As long as there is a limit, that seems to fix the issue.

I hope this helps you all out if you're having the same issue as me.

Yes, worked for me. Thanks a lot man, I can finally start playing The Lost Legacy.
Sucks we have to use these workarounds though... lazy devs, lazy port.

Works like a charm now, thanks!

[PuF]

Worked! Thank you!

This helps, but doesn't completely eliminate the problem. What really fixed it for me was forcing vsync and triple buffering.

The in game vsync doesn't work. I can get beyond 240 fps with a 240Hz refresh rate even when vsync is on and that's a real problem when a game is running in a borderless window.

Interesting. I'll give this a try the next time I'm playing.

I can confirm that this method work!

This method of capping FPS works. Not ideally, but works (tried with RTX 4070 Ti, 528.24 drivers) but only with Nvidia GPU. If I did the same with AMD card (RX 6800 with all drivers since November and pre-November) it didn't work. FPS were capped, but camera still stutters as hell.

not working

[Blokester]

If you are on AMD i found that capping the framerate to around 120fps in RTSS seems to fix it as well

Good to know, slightly different workaround, but it's nice if it works
I tried it with AMD only in drivers.

Finally, This did it, thanks. I've tried so many other things the last few days. I set the cap at 119 in RTSS and it's 98% fixed. It wasn't fixed when I capped it with Adrenalin. The driving sections were nauseating with the stutter.

But what happen if your hardware can’t hold // keep up such a high frame cap…. it’s still a jittery mess, isn’t it?
On my 144Hz display the least worst Fps cap is 110.

The camera movement should be smooth at any Fps cap from 60 to 144 an equal on x and y axis.

Works great ! Thank you

You should find the highest frame rate your hardware can maintain, set monitor to it by adding custom frame rate (somewhere in video driver), and use the same number of fps in RTSS / Nvidia control panel. also do not forget to turn vsync on.

@Willikins you give the recipe for the Nvidia Panel configuration but what about the game settings? Vsync on/off? Any other relevant setting?

Thank you
