Stutters?

[Arkane]

Anyone else having these small random stutters? it started recently, I am like almost 5 hours into the game. My specs are RTX 4060, R5 5600, 32GB RAM desktop. My FPS is over 90, I have these stutters without FPS drop.

I own the game on Ubi Connect, not Steam, so idk if that matters, but I have stuttering too. I started to notice it in November 2023. For me, it was the Nvidia driver. Something changed after driver 537.58. If I install this, game works fine. On all drivers after that 'till present, the game stutters. AC Valhalla too, cuz they're both on DirectX 12.

Try it and let me know if it fixes. I have an open ticket with Nvidia and they can't figure it out either. 'Cuz everything works fine with 537.58 and older, but after that, not. Tried on Windows 10, 11, older versions, updated versions, clean installs and nothing worked. The only variable is the Nvidia driver.

I'm running 565.90 and it's smooth for me.
In Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings, check these settings:

Monitor Technology - G-SYNC Compatible
Power management mode - Prefer maximum performance
Vertical Sync - Use the 3D application setting

No stutters here either but my system is significantly stronger. 13900ks,Asus TUF4090,32 GB DDR5 installed onto a 990pro NVME. FPS always near or over 200 all max, DLSS on quality. You didnt list your Drive, what are you playing form ? maybe thats the issue.

Nvidia's latest driver 565. Has a lot of issues check reddit I also had to roll back to more stable version 561.

I have the latest nvidia drive.

I only have these very small stutters with Mirage, none with Valhalla whatsoever. Also not with any other game, GoW Ragnarok for example doesnt have any.

will try this thanks

Cap the game at 90 FPS in the game settings

I couldnt find fps cap in settings when i looked yesterday, where is it exactly?

it ignores the cap.

ive turned on the 90fps cap and the benchmark hits 134fps.
which is impossible btw because ive set a limit of 117fps in nvidia control panel.

that might account for why its such a stuttery mess in the benchmark.
(ive only tested the benchmark. not playing the game until its patched and works correctly)

and to answer the op. yes its a stuttery mess in the benchmark. i think the benchmark is worse than ingame though.
the frametime graph will be up and down like a rollercoaster

the thing is, I dont have fps drops, when i get these microstutters there is no fps drop, according to steam’s in-game fps tracker on left top corner at least.

[DeadJericho]

yeah i know the fps is high but its still stuttering. same for me in the benchmark.
its either some sort of shader compilation stutter (which i dont think is the case because that would clear itself after running through the same area a couple times)

or its traversal stutter which plagues a lot of games.
and theres not much that can be done if so except to increase hardware until you power past it, or it gets fixed by the devs.

dont think it is a shader problem because i have the game installed on a nvme3 kingston SSD, so if that was the case it woulda loaded very quickly. Ill see if the problem persists tonight, and also try fps cap, because I didnt have the stutters from the get go, it started happening after like 5 hours.

Benchmark is a stuttery mess and always has been afaik. This was true when I was running an Arc A770, and is still true with a 4070 Ti Super. The game itself plays fine.

Also the benchmark runs uncapped by design. The cap only applies in-game.

[Arkane]

I capped the fps to 90 and there are no more stuttering
