Massive stuttering, 100% CPU usage, Long startup time

[Naito Ookami]

Been trying to play the game for hours now and I've at least gotten it up and running. I can get up to 30FPS which is a playable speed, but every few minutes there's a large freezing stutter that lasts for up to 3 minutes then returns to normal gameplay. Checking my CPU usage, it was at 100%. There's also an issue where the game takes nearly 10 minutes to startup. To aid the devs, I have posted my dxdiag below. I have played games much more graphically intensive than this, so I honestly do not know what the problem could be. I have ran the game at the lowest settings, lowest resolution, and still the stuttering remains as well as the 100% CPU usage.

It's great to know someone else has this problem that is well above the minimum requirements.

[[OCN]Skupples]

This game is on unreal engine 3, it's an ancient engine, and the graphic fidelity is mediocre @ best. I'm putting money on hearing a story about Eidos withholding code from nvidia until the last minute, like they have with so many other titles.

I'm sure nvidia iwll have a driver out in the next few days which fixes these issues.

[Naito Ookami]

Just for future notice I'm posting my failed remedies for this problem.

PLEASE NOTE THESE FIXES DID NOT WORK BUT THEY MAY WORK FOR YOU

FAILED: Attempted to overclock CPU to 3.6GHz ( My system can run this stabally, my GHz is usually 3.2 )

FAILED: Increased VRAM

FAILED: Attempted overclock GPU

FAILED: Ran at lowest possible resolution on lowest possible settings

FAILED: Disabled Vsync

FAILED: Verify Integrity of game cache

FAILED: Set affinity of game to only run off one core

FAILED: Set game to run in "High priority" ( This actually made the problem way way worse )

FAILED: Set game to run in "Low priority" ( This slightly increased the time between freezes, but they still persisted )

FAILED: Reinstalled DirectX

FAILED: Updated to latest drivers

FAILED: Underclocked CPU to 2.5GHz ( This very very oddly increased the length in between freezes making the game slightly playable but decreased my FPS between freezes to 15FPS )

FAILED: Closed nearly ALL background programs and services including anti-virus programs, steam overlay, and windows explorer ( This greatly improved my FPS but it somehow made the freezing come more often )

These are all the remedies I've experimented with, none have worked but some gave slightly better results. Oddly enough though, things that increased FPS actually made the stuttering worse while things that decreased the FPS made the stuttering better.

[[OCN]Skupples]

how do you increase vram?

[JasonB]

I think I can pretty much confirm we're each experiencing the same problem.

I turned my settings to 640x480 (in a window), lowest possible settings, all effects disabled. Game stutters/freezes exactly the same, still unplayable.

Earlier today I updated to the latest Nvidia drivers and did a Windows Update for good measure as well, which of course also didn't affect the issue.

The problem is with the game, or more specifically, how the game is interacting with our hardware.

[Celador]

Using 32bit launcher fixed stutter and fps issues for me. This is also a suggestion from official eidos forums. Im still confident that its same issue as with FarCry 3. Or at least engine related and will probably be patched later.

I'll check and see if the 32 bit launcher fixes my issues after the game reinstalls. Decided that a reinstall couldn't hurt being that issues sometimes arise from decrypting pre-loads.

You can't. Not without modifying the hardware on the GPU and changing the BIOS to utilize the new hardware.

awesome

[Migz - DH]

Btw, I totally should have mentioned this earlier... thanks for posting your DX Diag report.

Most people in forums don't even think about posting their system information.

that as my point. =P i'm assuming by VRAM he actually ment page file.

patches should be flooding in. SLI is completely broken, and AMD users are also having a ton of problems. I would guess a patch will come by the end of the week, if not earlier.

Hello there!
Got the same problem here. Even on lowest resolution and graphics settings, the game is still using 100% CPU and its unplayable. I know my PC is a little bit ancient machine, but if I can run for example Rome2 on medium settings or Arma3 (medium too, both on resolution 1440x900), why can't I run Thief on 640x320??

Pabouk, the problem addressed here has been identified and fixed and by users like us. By simply using the 32 bit executable the problems created by running the game on a dual core processor are completely fixed, restoring playability. I have wrote a guide on how to fix this issue, here is the link.
