Stuttering...

[Ruby Rose [ITA]]

Okay, i have a decent PC.

RTX 3070
Ryzen 3700X
32 GB RAM

But i keep having stutters. The game runs at 60 FPS then for like half/1 second i get these micro-stutters that make the game frustrating for me. Any fix?

I tried a lot of fixes online, from changing the threads in the INI files to tampering with Nvidia control panel... BUt it just keeps stuttering.

Happens a lot when i fly with my jetpack, but it also happens when i walk.

Any fix?

How long have you run the game since the last update?
If it's been less than an hour or so than the game is probably still building shaders and that is the stutter, which will go away as each one only needs built once (which need rebuilt again after each update).
This is usually the worst immediately after starting the game, after an update. The stutters in this case will slowly and noticeable dwindle down if you pay attention to them.

Other than that it may just be that you've got your settings too high for your PC to handle. Lower your settings.

Too high for an RTX 3070 aND A rYZEN 3700x?

Anyway, i've been playing since 2 days ago.

Have you got Shader Pre-Caching selected in Steam settings? I went to the Steam: opening the menu. Selected Settings. Last thing on the menu is Shader Pre-caching. I turned it on to see if it fixes my problem too.

Yes, i do have it on, it says 17 MB are pre-loaded. The last option is "allow the background elaboration of Vulkan Shaders" Or something along those lines

My picture was blacking out, Now I keep getting speaker static and sound briefly going off when I the game is running. I wonder if it has something to do with radio interference. Nope. Now while the game is in Options area. It's not happening while I am in the paused mode writing. Static sounds like little popping noise. Cutting out means the signal from Steam is being lost. Hm? I am going to shut down and set Steam to the Offline mode and see if that clears up the radio noise and dead drops of sound.

Depend on more than just GPU/CPU speed.

Look at textures, shadow detail, and reflections. Set them down a notch and see if it helps.
Also, many here have issues with Vsync.

While in the offline mode I won't be able to post. I'll run NMS to see if the static and dead sound drops stops. I'll return to Online after I test it. Then return just to let you know. If the game running speakers static clears up the problem in the Offline mode.

I didn't shut Steam Off. While I did shut the game down. I had to to put Steam in the Offline mode from the menu at the top left. While in the Offline mode no static, no short stuttering of sound. So far it hasn't returned. I decided to try to re-enable Online mode while the game was running smoothly and clear of noise. I was able to get back Online just by switching to Online from the Steam menu in the upper left corner. Still clear picture and clean of static or stutters.

It must be some sort of radio interference caused by slower transmissions from Steam over our connection. Try shutting down the game. Then you can put Steam in the Offline mode. Restart the game from your library. As soon as your game is running see if the stuttering has stopped.

If it has, press the key for Windows between the Cntrl and Alt key. You'll be able to bring Steam back to the top and turn Online mode back on. Without having to shut down the game.

It's being caused by the link to Steam. It started happening again after about two minuites.
Steam must be experiencing high traffic. It's not your computer. I'd guess sometime after some of the players sign out everything will be good to play without static stutters.

I'm going to put Steam in the Offline Mode for now! Have a great day!

A mod that extends the camera range was causing my systems static stuttering sound.

[Pagafyr]

After removing the mod I restarted the game. I started the Save I was playing when I noted the occasional screen black outs and sound card stuttering. No problem while playing for about 10 minutes.

Then I decided to shut down and start in a Save where I am constructing a beautiful beach front hotel. Ten minutes passed with no problem and then, Black out, the sound card started getting minor radio static.

While the problem was happening yesterday I decided to try to neutralize the effect. I didn't put shut down exit Steam I just simply disconnected the router while the radio static was happening causing stuttering to the game's sound. The static kept on happening and a short black out occurred too.

I turned the Modem back on and shut down Steam. I unplugged the computer from the wall power. Restarted the computer, ran tests to determine if the computer was corrupted.and breaking down, even checked for various forms of RAM, VRAM, and Internal chipset code breakers.

There is something seriously wrong with the Game that is ruining the connection to the STEAM server via the Nvidia RTX 3070 video cards. I will be switching to another computer without all the niceties that Nvidia RTX 3070 has.

If it has the same game corruptions I will be able to narrow down where the problem is and report it when I find the problem. I hope the less powerful video card on my other home built gaming computer doesn't have any problems like the 2020; 3 year old Nvidia 3070 is having. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

This guide reduces stutters ~90% for me. It seems to help mainly older systems (Intel 9th gen and older CPU) like mine listed in the guide.

I don't think my computer is old...?

Neither do I. My 6 yr old computer has no static on the sound card causing stuttering or the short annoying black outs. The RTX 3070's new settings need games that are tuned with settings that are meant for it. It may be the developers at Hello Games are struggling to keep up with new video cards.

I'm going to try adjusting the new Nvidia 3070 settings. Mines only 3 yrs.

I am testing an idea.

I started the game. In under ten minutes a short black out screen occurred. Static sound interference started immediately while in the Blacked out screen. I opened Options, checked any control effecting video and volume controls.

I upped the controls all to the max. While I was preparing the test I noticed an odd effect. I pressed Apply so all the settings I put in would cause the CPU and GPU Fans to revv up like a jet engine. They started to revv up but barely got high speed ;then returned to their mid cooling range in under a minute

Next: I didn't turn the game off I switched to the window where the choice is for playing the game or multi-player. I listened to the static.

I need to know if you hear popping sounds called static from your speakers. I need to know if it is consistent. Constant like a radio frequency you can't quite tune in. And not fading in and out.
If it fades, gets weaker then stronger, and weaker again and again, and almost stops let me know that too.
