Stuttering?

[HoneyBadger]

Anyone having any stuttering issues with 1.0. It seems to happen more when I am near buildings, but honestly feels random. I am on a 4090 with 64gb of ram and a Ryzen 9 5900x. Was completely fine when I started getting back into it once they announced 1.0 was coming. Started after the 1.0 opt in. I even tried the lowest settings and dynamic mesh turned off.

Yeah me too, I've tried loads of things but nothing seems to really work. I also have a somewhat high end pc.

I have established it does not do it once I first load into a save. Starts maybe a minute or so after I load in. Graphics settings have nothing to do with it. It still happens out in the middle of the map away from everything also.

Did you do a clean install of the game? I don't know if it would be helpful for you, but I've gotten weird FPS drops when I didn't do a clean install

For me, turning off the vsync worked. Might also be worth tweaking the anti-aliasing. Temporal + sharpening for instance uses a lot of juice. Other than that, just be sure to check all your drivers are up to date and verify the files for 7DTD. My only advice. Best of luck.

huge factor for games is virtual memory in windows. Normally 4090 will brute force beyond it showing up, but with less performance optimized games it can run into issues. Make sure your virtual memory is set to double you amount of memory for your system. 64GB that you listed would be 131072mb.

Clear shader cache for your graphics. Will remove the thing not removed by clean installs even, as shader cache is handled by your graphics card and not any game. Its a rather lengthy process for NVIDIA cards, so I'll refer your to wath a youtube video to do this instead of me typing out a huge list. Radeon gpu users can just reset cache in advanced setting of global graphics in radeon software.

3rd is turn on multi threading for Unity Engine, which oddly is still not a default setting. This is down by adding the following lines to the Boot.config file located in the 7d2d_data folder in the games main install directory.Create a copy of the boot.config before making changes, so you can convert back easily, though Isn't anything going in that shouldn't already be there. Just add any line from following list to that. No need to delete anything there, just add ones you are missing only.

" add only whats missing, doesn't matter the order"

gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1

gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1

wait-for-native-debugger=0

scripting-runtime-version=latest

vr-enabled=0

hdr-display-enabled=0

gc-max-time-slice=3

Also some ssytem prefer dx12 over dx11, can force the game to load in dx12 by default by going into steam and right click the game from list on left in library. On first window that opens, should be a box near bottom that says additional commands for startup. just add a
-dx12 to there. Mine hates dx11 for same stuttering reasons.

Hope one or all of the options above assists you. First two should be done no matter what as windows itself sucks at doing anything by default.

Appreciate it I will give it a shot, I did try running it from Vulkan with the launcher and its much better but Vulkan seems to still not quite be there.

[HoneyBadger]

Not sure which setting fixed it, added that to boot.config, and ran in dx12. Runs like a charm now. Thanks.

would help if you also said what your game settings are at. im having perfectly smooth gameplay. playing at 4k with near max settings. i lower shadows as that seems to be a huge killer in performance.

stutters

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11800H

i have a lock cpu min 3.1ghz max 3.4ghz (because its enough for most games) but randomly in v1.0 it goes very low around 0.8-1.2ghz for 5-10 sec causing stutters and slow mo
only 7dtd only v1.0

how the game bypass the cpu restrictions? :D

Nice FPS .... but stuttering/chopping and slow motion?

Hey,

there are already a few threads regarding performance but I haven't found one that addresses this one problem. I somehow don't understand my problem... I have a 3070ti, ryzen 7 5800x3d, 32 gb. I don't have any problems with FPS or crashes. It all works wonderfully. The graphics look absolutely great!!

Like many other players, I have this choppping that starts suddenly. The game stutters really bad and everything seems to be in slow motion. It doesn't matter whether I set it to low or ultra. The effect always remains the same. It makes the game unplayable!

The graphics card is at 60% capacity. So that can't be the problem. The CPU is literally sleeping... 25-30% utilization.

I moved the game to my main hard drive. 1TB Samsung 990 pro m.2 ssd... again I think that should fit... I checked the game files on Steam - everything is okay!

I don't know what else I should work on... I finally decided that it was the game... but that can't be the case since it doesn't happen with 62,000 players (active players last night).

Maybe someone else has this problem and knows some advice?

Have a nice day!

Try deleting all the cache and config files in the game's launcher

[optOut]

I dropped down to medium preset and mostly get 60fps everywhere. amd 3600, rtx 6600

Thanks for that!

Its strange ... Things are going better now. But as soon as I'm in a city or even at a single POI in the wilderness, I get this chopping again and again.

[Nomac]

I found the problem... it's due to the FPS. I locked the FPS at 65. I've now lifted your lock and now it's running super smoothly. I've now locked it at 70 and it's still running smoothly. :-)

I'm just wondering why that is...hmm...
