The game runs strange on my Ally X. 40-70fps for 5 sec and than 1 sec freeze und than again 40-70 fps for 5 sec. This repeats all the time. I will try your steps after work. Thanks!

I'm having this exact issue, but i have found a couple of things:

First, the 5 second stutter starts happening for me only after a cutscene. It will run smoothly at 50ish FPS for as long as I want, but as soon as a cutscene starts, the 5 second stutter comes back

Second, when I connect an eGPU, the stutter does not occur.

The first point makes me think its an issue with the video player, the second makes me think driver issue or some hardware bottleneck. Unfortunately haven't found any solution yet except to relaunch the game after it starts happening, but there are so many cutscenes that that is kind of unrealistic...

What about Rog Ally Z1 Extreme?

I don't own the original handheld, but I believe it should work the same. Try and set GPU to 9 or 10

[davide.espo91]

But can it also apply to Legion Go?

I also thought it might be a VRAM problem. But even when I set all the settings to the lowest, I had the same issue. I couldn’t imagine that 8GB of VRAM wouldn’t be enough even on low settings at 720p resolution. But now I will try!

Please let me know how it goes for you. Also did you install the 3 links I provided above? It's a must

Set GPU to 10G on Armory crate

My VRAM usage is only 6.8GB reserved, 5.5GB committed. In general I know this game uses a ♥♥♥♥ ton of VRAM, but in the specific case of the every-5-second-lagspike after a cutscene I don't think it has anything to do with VRAM

Im not sure myself but for some reason, setting VRAM at a high 10G, and installing the 3 links i provided, gave smoother and stable cutscenes play & smoother transitions from cutscenes to in-game play vise versa. Stutters are immensely depleted. Not perfect but for now, works amazing.

[petermoua]

Cutscenes are cap at 30 FPS by default, and depending on how you set your in-game settings, the jump from a 30 FPS cutscenes to at 70-80 FPS ingame settings than back to 30 FPS cutscenes consistently create lag and 5 second stutters. installing the links provided to maintains the flow of FPS at 50-60 and gives stability so stutters become unnoticeable.

I'm sorry, but do I have to install something specific?

Thx for sharing these settings. While this deff got rid of the hitches the game had, I now notice a new issue regarding the game/framerate playing in slow motion. This is most noticeable after a cutscene, and I'm thinking it might be stemming from Frame gen
