Stutter Fix?? - SOLVED

[zzzzz]

My system is running laps around the game and getting weird stuttering with it being locked at 60.

Anyways to reduce/fix based off prior knowledge from other EDF PC games.

Havent played any other EDF before, but I know its an OOOOOOLD engine.

Googled and all I found was to run it in borderless window or just windowed. That didnt work and im still having the weird jumpyness.

Thanks to all the Replies I found a fix that works for me at least.

Try it if you have same or similar issues.

Make sure you have the latest drivers for your GPU and your OS is up to date.

Also doesn't hurt to make sure that your system and EDF are using your actual GPU and not integrated CPU graphics.

FIX

>Go into Nvidia or AMD Control Panel.
>Go to Manage 3D Settings in Nvidia - Or Radeon Game Settings on AMD
>Add or Open EDF6.EXE in programs
>DISABLE GSYNC/FREESYNC
>LOCK THE FPS to 58FPS
>Hit Apply
>Should be fixed

EDF is usually 60 FPS locked. Stuttering may be due to your caching shaders, or some DX12 optimization problem.

So yours is running fine? Mind sharing your specs? Im just curious.

Im running a 4090, 7950x, and 64gb ddr5 ram.

I dont see anything running past 10% usage.

Is there a way to fix dx12 or the caching????

Always the first question, did you update your graphics card drivers? Are you having any memory issues? What is the CPU GPU% and Temps if you have them? Do you have any programs running that could interfere with it (this seems unlikely but there are times where a program literally just interferes with just one specific game)? Have you tried turning your pc on and off again to reset it? These are usually the first things that I check.

Mine is also having noticeable stutters with a 4090/13900k
Says it's 60FPS but there is definitely something going on here.

Last game had some issues with gsync, maybe try manually disabling that.

[zzzzz]

I have the latest drivers, but I got some time to reinstall with DDU to see if it changes anything., but if Opti is having the same issue then it might not be my system could just be the game.

Also the next step after doing the above is to check every single video card option in the menu. A lot of the time one of the options is bugging out the game and it needs to be fixed.

This happens a lot. Try turning off fullscreen optimisations (right click the game executable, compatibility)

[zzzzz]

Fullscreen opt = off, finished driver reinstall, forced no gsync in control panel, and double checked temps and usage.

Games still having weird issues. Im gonna just play through it since its fun, but god its irritating.

[OptiMiced]

Yeah.
Done all-the-above mentioned as well and still having noticeable choppiness that does not happen with the other games in the series (Been playing them over the last week and they run perfectly smooth)

What worked for me both on my main PC and Laptop (way above rec spec on both):
Set to Borderless
Set Gsync to off in Nvidia controlpanel for the game if applicable
Set Max fps in nvidia controlpanel to 58 for the game

Do not change compabilitysettings like fullscreen optimization etc, that made it way worse for me instead.

Having the jump through hoops to make this antique game engine work on our cray super computers. Pathetic.

Get with the times devs!

Can confirm the 58FPS cap has improved the overall performance.

I got issues with stuttering too. Rtx 4070 ti, i5-13600K, 31 gb ram, game in ssd.

Problem seems to be tied to mouse rather than fps.
If I turn rotation lerp up to 100 it makes the movement much less jarring, but obsly also floaty A-F (And it still hickups now and then)

I too believe this is somehow tied to the mouse.
I noticed the game looks smooth if you just run straight ahead, but as soon as you move the mouse the choppiness begins.
