Stuttering

[Randy Lahey]

Is it just me or at the start of the game, game would randomly stutter without notice. gpu usage is only at 35%, and was set to 1080p with a 16gb 4090 gpu so doesnt make much sense to me why it does it.

Same for me. Also 4090, but set to 4k.
The gameplay seems fine, but cutscenes stutter quite a lot. Basically constant stuttering during cutscenes.

Same here, on a 4070Ti Super. Tried the usual methods in the Nvidia control panel.

Same here, 4090 1440p there is quite a bit of stuttering mostly during cinematics but during gameplay it doesn't feel smooth neither, but that could be to the 60 FPS lock, hopefully there is a way to remove that FPS lock.

Game stuttering?

I have a 4070TI Super and while the game overlay "says" I'm at 60FPS 99% of the time, it feels very stuttery from time to time. Anyone else experiencing this?

[V I D A L]

yes

[Selvator]

Yup

[Bagheadt]

I've noticed some stuttering

How is the PS5 version? I am thinking about refunding this and going with that. I am sick and tired of us paying PC gamers getting screwed.

I'd highly recommend you do that.

Just put in the refund request and bought the PS5 version. I don't know what's worse, the companies implementing all this obtrusive software bloat or the customers defending these practices.

Wait for patch or... get the console version... :(

Locking my monitor refresh rate to 60 fps and the nvidia control panel as well fixed the stutters for me.

Try turning off gsync and fix your monitor refresh rate in the control panel to 60 with vsync. That fixed the weird frame times for me

How to play without stutter

The reason why you may experience stuttering is because the game's built-in framerate limiter is... well it's bad. Here's how to properly replace it with a better one.

After opening the game once, go to %UserProfile%\Saved Games\Beyond Good & Evil - 20th Anniversary Edition and open up BGE.player.ini

In the [Display] section, add RefreshRate=*any value higher than 60* (this cvar actually controls the framerate). Now, force a 60 FPS cap via your method of choice (drivers, RTSS, SpecialK's probably your best bet though), and you'll be good to go.

(if playing in 4K, add RefreshRate_4K_PC=*any value higher than 60* instead; if in doubt, use both)

The stutters are all over the game not just during the cinematics.
Doesn't matter what refresh rate you have on your screen, disabling g-sync, playing on low settings or low resolution nothing helps it just stutters.

It works fine for like 30 - 120 sec the when you do a "map transition" or bring up a menu or just walks around or if a cinematics starts the stutters appear and gets worse and worse as you play.

You must patch the game!

I have a case at your supprt site that I opened 28 of june and no one has answered it.

If you want to better your reputation maybe just maybe don't release broken games and don't ignore your customers.
