Latest patch introduces horrible stuttering.
Anyone have this problem? I play at 144 Hz and experience constant microstutters after this new patch.

Same here. Worked like a breeze just yesterday. 240 Hz.

Same, i get stutters every few seconds. It throws off my aim something terrible.

EDIT: strangely enough, closing a webpage with a music stream seems to have fixed it.

Are you using Vulkan or DX11? On Vulkan I've not noticed any problems with a quick test. Though I had frame pacing problems on the old patch, and had to set the "Vulkan/OpenGL present method" option to "Prefer layered on DXGI Swapchain" in the Nvidia control panel for this game to solve that. Could try that option out if you have an Nvidia GPU and haven't already.

Jeh same here closing webpage does nothing for me.
Reducing refreshrate for 8K mice does also nothing.
Changeing to Vulkan does not work.

Yeah, playing and suddenly I'm now getting stutters. Boo.

What framerate is your game running at? Is vsync on/off? Please try changing some of these options and let me know what happens.

Capped at 144 with vsync turned off. Was playing on freesync monitor with gsync enabled. After the patch I'm getting very noticeable image tearing as well. Turning vsync on doesn't fix stutter but the tearing goes away. Uncapping the framerate does nothing. Stutters are somewhat more discernible when using vulkan.

I have no idea, we haven't really changed anything in there - the only change was the 1000 fps cap, which obviously isn't being hit here.

You could try `jobs_enable 0` but I don't know if that will help. Without having that machine here it's hard to diagnose.

That's the kind of performance I have to deal with, btw.

This actually helped. Thank you.

Do you have a bit of time to help us test a potential fix for this?

Lower the polling a little on the mouse.

yup, I get the stuttering too. Nothing seems to help. Any way to roll back to the previous version ?
