MAJOR frame stuttering

[isaiaheverin]

Getting some really bad performance on a GTX 1080 and an i5-4570. Task Manager shows the game is using 70% of my CPU on just the main menu. I get massive frame stuttering all the time during gameplay -- somtimes triggered by attacks or particles, but often just happening randomly. Seems to have gotten worse over the hour I was playing -- from not happening at all to so bad I can't even play.

I'm looking in nVidia control panel, I can't figure out if there's a way to see if this game is for some dumb reason using my intel integrated graphics instead of the GPU maybe? I would imagine if others were getting performance THIS bad, it would be filling up the forums and reviews with compalints.

[edit] I seem to be getting slightly better performance running it off my SSD, but I didn't play a full hour. The first time it got really bad, it was after about an hour of playing.

It's not just you, this is a known issue that is already being worked on. I have a GTX 1080 and i7-6700k and get not infrequent stuttering.

Happening here too with a 3570k and a 970. it has killed my enjoyment of this game. I hate unity. btw the devs will most likely move this thread from the front page..

Same, seriously annoying

Unfortunately everyone is having this stuttering and it's been mentioned since beta/sneak peek.

Dave (TeamCherry on forums) said there will be a optimization patch tomorrow or day after - wait a bit for it.

The stuttering is really annoying, yeah, but not to the point of refund for me :P

It happens to me occasionally but not enough to be a gigantic problem.

Alrighty then. It's rendering it quite literally unplayable for me. Spent an entire boss fight with 1 second frame freezes at highly critical gameplay moments. I seriously hope they get this sorted, the game is very very good.

Ouch, I haven't encountered anything that bad. :( I'm running a pretty old card as well.

Stopped playing at Soul Sanctum. This stuttering AND severe input lag is no way to play such a cool game. It also failed to load a room at City of Tears once (the room to the right of the first elevator's area).

The fact that they had to specifically put a message that 'performance is not final' in the sneak peak was not a particularly good sign. It's weird that they didn't just push back the launch, though, since most of the project seems to lean heavily toward perfectionism. I'm just surprised that they thought the launch build was good enough, even if I'm still adoring the game despite its issues.

I think the "... is not final" things are pretty standard for almost everything that isn't the release version. It is a shame to see some stuttering, but it hasn't really detracted from my experience. On the bright side, the devs are working hard to get it fixed so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

My favorite stutter moment was when an early game boss opted to use the opportunity to pull a nice magic trick.

Regardless, the stutters have already been noticed, addressed, etc. Just gotta wait on the patch.
