Stuttering when loading areas or something

[Driwell]

Hello, I am running this on a i5 7500 / NVIDIA GTX 1060 6gb, i have 60 constant fps with vsync on all on ultra except ubersampling (i get 50-60 with it on) the thing is, from time to time the game just stutters like, i searched the web and i even found some fix files, it's a known problem. But no file could fix my stutter.

Here to help others, it's fixed, I noticed the game only uses 600MB of VRAM on 'very large', so I went to "documents-> witcher 2->config--> user.ini" and changed "TextureMemoryBudget=600" to "TextureMemoryBudget=5120" I have 6GB so 5gb for the game is fine, enough to load an entire area I believe... It's stupid to not be able to do this by point and click, but there you go. zero stuttering, ultra settings. I hope this can help someone.

Are you talking about the video card memory? Or the computer one? So that I can input the right value...

Video card memory
Don't forget that it's under documents, not on the installation folder, I say the exact location above but it's important to note it.
Note: documents-> witcher 2->config--> user.ini

I had the same problem. Sadly your solution didn't work or even going around Nvidia control panel options didn't solve a thing.

Then I set Texture Memory size on Very Large and disabled SSAO. With Vsync on i'm getting almost constant 75fps.

Stuttering when loadiing things are loading? I dont see an issue, its loading things, of course it aint gonna run smooth as butter, when youre loading some
thing

The game isn't truly open-world. Each open area you can explore is divided into various small areas which load up when you cross certain spots on the map. This was probably due to the memory limit of the hardware at the time and most probably due to the Xbox 360 and PS3

Witcher 2 runs so bad after Creators Update... I'm not even sure if I can play Witcher 3 now, it was all so good before CU... now almost everything has lag spikes because of constant neverending loading during gameplay.

Thanks man, this solved a lot of stuttering i was having with a GTX 1070. Looks like that the game was always loading something and that make the frame rate very unstable, now is almost a flatline on 60fps, it only dips while loading another area but that is undestandable.
Now the game is using more than 1gb of vram, seems like 600mb was too low.

Nice to know I helped, I think they made the maximum 600mb because a few years ago most graphic cards had 1gb 2 at max. Still, the game is amazing, I played the first, then this one, and now I am on TW3, and I am loving the journey, my favorite games of all time, the third is out of this world, it's insane how ahead it is in my point of view in relation to all the rest.

Yep, this worked for me. Also using a GTX 1070 with 16gb ram. Smooth as silk now. Thank you.
