Stuttering fix solution?

[За Монолит]

This seems to be a popular issue, I've done my fair share of research, but have came up with nothing. When I first started playing I didn't have this issue, however now it happens very frequently and once and a while if I am lucky it goes away by itself.

Any solutions?

My game, too. It starts with a strange resolution (like zoomed in) and runs @ 100 % GPU (2070S) and stutters lol

Yeah it is weird, my pc can run the game just fine, no idea why it stutters. It is super annoying

Could you explain a bit more?

The game stutters frequently, you'll be looking around and it goes in and out, in and out.

If you look up "Dying Light Stuttering" you'll get a ton of results

well I found some videos, but basically I can do the thing that the dude did in 2015 for you and see if that works.

I don't really know what your issue is but I can probably maybe fix that for you as well. Using the same method. Just gon' need you to add me.

Well, it seems he might just be poor at explaining his issue, and support ticket for what?

Not to mention I have a potential fix I want both of them to try out. So there's that.

Not to mention the issue can be literally anything ranging from GPU to RAM to even the Motherboard or the PSU.

Well that was a quick response as I was adjusting to be inclusive.

ahaha, yeah. Only thing is that this might only be a "potential fix" so it doesn't have much ground to cover. But! It might help OP and the 2nd dude that were having issues to "mitigate" the issues from becoming more frequent until they take a closer look at their own rig.

The Dev is the authority for support of its product (especially with no details in a thread).

Well yeah, but Uncy is taking a break and will be a bit more unreliable in terms of response to the discussion forum, so I thought I'd make his job easier, since I think I have a grand idea of what the issue might be for these 2.

LOL, "grand idea" with no details. I guess looking at what has changed since then has no merit.

While I agree they should probably check out their compositor or their computer, since there could literally be anything at this point. My guess would be that their Memory is too low since they might be running additional software in the background, with hardware acceleration on.

Applications that use this is Discord and internet browsers. Another application that takes a chunk of memory is Wallpaper engine since it needs to run in the background and even if you "pause" it when being full-screened it will still take a chunk of memory.

So best thing to do if they do have Wallpaper engine running is just to "stop" the live wallpaper from running while they have a game full-screened. Easily tweaked in the Softwares settings.

Well bud, It's basically some varlists causing the issue, specifically "varlist_performance.scr" and "varlist_noise.scr" which seems to be the main culprit in many other peoples cases, this used to be fixed in old Dying Light build of 2015, but was aptly removed in the BtZ build of the game that came out 2016. Basically what it is; is an archive similar to the ones in the game files but slightly tweaked, this won't affect their experience with the game whatsoever in a negative way. I have made sure of that. It will also bypass the sanity check for modified game files that Dying Light has implemented.

Another file I have for them is "Video.scr" which is basically just Graphics settings since the 2nd guy said he had a "strange resolution" when booting up the game, and this might just be the fix the 2 of them need. Which is why I'll be giving this to them first. Rather than the edited game files.

Hell their issue could also be the fact that Techland logs everything you do on their servers. Which the former thing I spoke about fixes.

My open advice to everyone: don't accept files from anyone other than the Dev (even then, why should they be special just for you?).

They aren't the only ones who have received this as a potential fix, just saying.

And also, what is DLR then? It was a "mod" which contained "edited files" worked on by Fear, which introduced changes to the BtZ mode and Techland approved it and even started implementing it in patches in the game, but stopped at the 2nd patch of DLR for some ungodly reason.

Probably due to the lack of communication between Fear and Techland and this pandemic.

But even so, it still shows that the Devs of this game are open to ideas (like reworking BtZ) to further balance the game for them.
