Lag issues???

[Sonic Vortex]

Guys, im laggins a lot of times when im playing this game
Does this happen to you guys too?

Intro lagged a little even though my setup is overkill for the requirements but after the beginning video its been stable

ok i have to ask as ive seen a few threads on this issue. WHAT stuttering? im using keyboard and mouse, 6 hours in, and no issues. (720p but idc as it still looks great). so either my rig is better at handling the load, or im just not far enough in the game to see this stuttering issue, with too many mobs on screen / and effects?

8 gigs of ram
phenom 2 x6 3.2 ghz
geforce 670 gtx
win7 64 bit

Suprisingly not for me, altough im only 20 min in game - still, i know what are You talking about, seen recordings of stuttering intro (and other cut scenes), and in-game free running micro-stuttering.

I downloaded the game, and was ready to exp. all of the issues described in many threads here, but i didn't exp. them at all. Intro runned smoothly, gameplay (the first tutorial boss and some running around) smoothly too. I must admit, i am very surprised...

it's like Ultima said:

My specs:

Intel i5-4670 3,4 GHZ 6MB Cache
Mobo: Asrock Z87M Extreme4
HyperX DDR3 8GB 1600MHz CL10 FURY Blue Series
GeForce CUDA GT 740 MSI 2GB DDR5
Chieftec GPS-500A8
Win7 x64 Ultimate

I play with K&M (no controller)

Still, I am at the very beginning - hope the experience will not change for worse.

In your drivers card make the power on max performance and no lag anymore, 60fps stable ;)

[Sonic Vortex]

So, if i have gampad the lag will stop?

I was getting those little stutters aswel playing on k/m running on amd driver 14.9 so i tried that controller trick and it actually worked. I was shocked. Just plug in a controller ( I use DS4) and you can continue playing K/m, if you want and it stops the lag. ( for me atleast) Not sure why

Could it be the game is not optimized for some CPU? I'm using AMD FX-4300 and the game stutters for me too, even with controller. The fix for me is to force the game to use only 2 cores instead of all 4. No harm in trying, hope it helps.

how do you force the game to use 2 cores instead of 4?

I use radeonpro, under tweaks tab. You can also use windows task manager, right click on the game process, and set affinity. But using task manager you need to set it everytime you play.

I've just commented on another thread, but Im running it on an i5 Laptop with 16gb ram and HD4000 graphics - no problems at all (I am using a wireless 360 controller though if that helps)

Thanks, Siro. You're a legend! Forcing it to use one core seems to remove stuttering for me. Frame rate drops are still happening. I will quote your method in a separate post to help those who are still suffering the stuttering. Thanks again.

Mine stutters a lot too, every 2 seconds. Solved it by just plugging in a wireless Logitech gamepad signal tranciever in one of my USB ports. I think the stutter went off after detecting the wireless gamepad. Afterwards, I just play with keyboard, did not even touch the wireless gamepad. Just leave the transciever in the USB port.
