Update 2:

Didn´t found out how to attach a file so i uploaded it here:

Update:

ok, after restart the game the stuttering is back again :(

So i tried a few things by changing the gfx settings. What i found out by now is when everything is maxed out but the slider for the texturequality is set to "medium" there is no stuttering at all. Fine 60fps.
After i switch it to "high" ingame still no stuttering. The textures have to reload and you see a little different at close look. Everything fine and steady 60fps.

But now comes the bad thing. When i close the game and restart it again the stuttering is back. A look at the fps tell me its switching between 58/59-60 fps at some areas and that breaks the v-sync. Testing area was the entrance after the second ocean walk. Before i had no problems with stuttering.

Maybe some settings/filters are only activated after a complete game restart, after you change the texture quality. But because you see a different ingame without restart i realy don´t know.

Either "high" texturequality is only 100% active after game restart and my system is to slow or there is still some issue left.

So i hope it gives you a clue and you can fix it completely.


----------------------

BuildID is 788549. Beta Patch worked for me. No more stuttering. Smooth framerate with fixed FPS@60. Before i had random hickups.

My game just finished downloading a 14mb patch without me even opting for the beta and the build number is 787129, is this the same as the beta patch or what?

[Gnoffah!]

No that is only added visual c++ installers that might be needed for some users.

[Aff3nk0pp]

Still not starting. How do I upload the files you need?

[Lord Zannin]

I still have crashing of the game and I don't know why. Before any updates I was playing fine and now it seems to crash after 5mins of play.

Hey guys, I never have this question answered by anyone, but when I go fullscreen in this game, unlike any other game, none of the resolutions stretch across the entirety of my screen (excluding the 1920x1080 res). I want to know if there is a way to stretch the game screen across my monitor screen. Can anyone help me out here?
