Auto Save Causes Stuttering

[qcode_xi]

Is there anyway to disable autosave?

I have pretty much no issues with performance in general, at least in an acceptable way (cpu i9-13980HX. gpu 4090)

The main issue I have is with auto-save as it causes my game to stutter for a second or so every time the game autosave

I have tried to change the graphics settings but it doesn't seem to be the real issue,
I also moved the save location from one drive to another (both SSD)
I can't figure out the actual cause for this stuttering

Any help or ideas are much appreciated

any help :(

It wouldn't be a graphics setting I would think, is the game also on the SSD? If it is and so is the save location then i'm not sure what the cause is.

If you stutter when it autosave it would mean that the SSD or HDD is slow.

Autosaving is instant on a Nvme and without any issues. If you stutter with an Nvme then you might be out of PCIe lanes and suffer from lack of bandwith. This can be caused if you have more drives connected than the CPU really supports (20)

16 lanes will be used for the GPU and then you got 4 lanes for the chipset. if you have multiple drives then it can be an issue on an Intel cpu.

I'm not very tech-savy, so please if you can help me understand much appreciated

I'm using ROG Strix 16 laptop,
- The internal hard drive is (1TB + 1 TB PCle 4.0 NvMe M.2 SSD (Raid 0)
- External hard drive (Samsung T7 Shield)

What's the best I can do in this case?

Originally, I had the game on the T7, and the steam saves on the internal drive, I moved the steam save location to the T7 drive but nothing changes still stutter at autosave

Samsung T7 Shield Transfer Speed
Up to 1,050MB/s (Sequential Read)
Up to 1,000 MB/s (Sequential Write)

That is not a fast SSD. Try putting game on the internal Nvme and make sure it save there also.

I am guessing that the internal got 2 partitions and is only 1 drive total since they are only 1TB. Install on any of them.

yes the internal drive is 1TB+1TB in Raid 0, it shows in my laptop as one partition,

Thank you for the tips I will try later today to move the game and save location to the internal Nvme and hopefully it works

I use gpu: 4090 cpu: i9 13900k and use ssd. When I play the second game, the automatic save will freeze and the loss of about 5~10fps is very annoying. I turn off "dd2 save manager" This problem also occurs when opening and closing.

Is it possible that it's caused by mods? Currently I plan to reinstall the game and give it a try

[qcode_xi]

I tried both options,
- I moved the game library and steam to the Nvme internal drive, but stutter continues at auto-saves
- I also tried to add the steam folder and library to the exclusion for windows antivirus, but unfortunately this also did not solve the stutter

I was trying to figure our a way to disable auto-save but couldn't, the config.ini doesn't have anything for autosave

I tried other games doesn't seem that this is happening or at least not noticeable, with DD2 I'm stuttering everywhile, entering fight, leaving fight, sadly

I did try to remove all mods and not using save manager, nothing changed

Please let me know if anything worked out for you?

There is no option to disable auto-saving in DD2 and therefore not possible.

I'm experiencing the same issue since the patch although I had zero shutter prior to patch and no settings were changed and now shutter and frame drop orgy, specially when auto-saving. My game is installed on a M2 FireCuda 530 so no "too slow drive".

I think something broke with the patch. We will see.

other issues as its when auto saving, make sure there is 5-10% FREE unused space on the drive the game is installed on. so 50 too 100gig minimum, Windows needs that as work space. if not free then read/writes will be slower as it will force windows to use the page file if you have one

Try unplugging the USB HDD or Update the Chipset drivers and reboot PC after.

it stutters for me ever so slightly on autosave and i have a decent rig, i put it down to the games optimisation as i dont have this problem in any other game at all.

I wouldnt go farting about with your most likely fine hardware for a game thats so poorly optimised for PC

That's exactly what I felt, I didn't notice any stutter during autosave before the update, and unfortunately since the update I have been patient with it but now I just can't

I did actually removed the T7 after moving games/steams to the internal drive, searched for any updates, I'm still thinking there might be a chance with "my system optimization", and not just blame the game, but just like @Boombastic said I also only noticed that after the update, I hope it will be resolved, and I even wished I can see a stutter in another game so I would feel there's a chance for it to be fixed :/
