V-Sync does not work; Stuttering framerate

[jimmyjoe]

I've done a bit of reading and this seems to be pretty common.. Which is why it's strange that I haven't found a fix or a dev mentioning anything about it (the stuttering specifically). My frames never drop below 80 regardless of what combinations of v-sync settings I use in-game and in the Nvidia control panel. Stuttering starts around turn 150 or 6-8 cities. Has anyone heard anything new or fixed either of these problems? Your input is greatly appreciated.

I had this problem and it stopped when I made the UI larger, I don't know if that's what fixed it but you could try that.

This game does seem picky about V-Sync and fullscreen mode etc. It seems as though the game doesn't run in true fullscreen mode at all - even when fullscreen is selected it is using a borderless window, you can confirm this by the fact that DSR does not work with this game (DSR only works with true fullscreen).

I have also experienced the stutter with lots of cities, although this tends to happen when I load a game I was already in the middle of (a game that wasn't stuttering when I originally saved it), however the stuttering seems to calm down again after playing for 5 minutes. I checked GPU usage during the stuttering and it is all over the place (not good), but when the stuttering calms down the GPU usage is stable. So something strange is happening with this game, and again I think a lot of it is related to the lack of a true fullscreen mode.
