Kingdom Come Deliverance I. I keep freezing the in-game image. I have tried everything possible and nothing helps.

old pc?

what does "i keep freezing the in-game image" mean ?

do you mean "my in-game image keeps freezing" ?

do you mean "stuttering" ? - a sort of jagged motion while ur character is moving ?

is this effect when Henry is moving around ? worse when on horseback ? worse in Rattay ?

assuming ur hardwar is okay (or not gonna change), it just comes down to graphics tuning (reduce distance sliders, shadows, clouds, water, etc.)

or is this a stuttering during "cutscenes" ?

this is a gsync problem - fix it by Setting Vsync > On, and/or set to "Borderless Window"

the are some other "long loading screen" bugs, so i always recommend getting an Unlimited Save mod from nexus mods (because "reload most recent save" is the usual bug fix).

i use this one (different save types):

Yes the in-game image pauses and after a while it starts again. This happens several times in a row. Mostly in the city.
I don't have any mods in the game

[Tenchuu Khan]

And you don't even own the game..... omg

[Paulus]

Of course I do.

You deliberately switched your profile to private... hmmm

[Tenchuu Khan]

hah, I mean - give me one reason to switch your profile to private on Steam - ONE

[Tenchuu Khan]

btw. - try alt-tabbing out of the game and back in, fixes the endless loading circle issue

[Paulus]

I don't have the game profile to private.
I've quit the game many times and come back, uninstalled the game several times and reinstalled it clean. I have changed the graphics driver, changed the graphics settings in the game to low, medium, high etc. I increased the paging file area.
Nothing helps.

if the game ran fine before on whatever hardware/operating system you have,
then something changed on it.
operating system update?
graphics card driver update?
hardware update?
new app installed?
new app/monitoring program running?

uninstalling/reinstalling does NOT delete your game/graphics preference settings
maybe game is using your old preference settings.
delete them then steam verify game files then try the game again

if you are using windows, look in the steam game folder
kcd.log
kcd_launcher.log
might tell you what is wrong

could also check windows event viewer and windows reliability history
might be a game error event or system related errors

run the game in a smaller window with some system monitors running.
see what is going on - maybe something else is running and hogging system resources

or maybe you already have system monitors running - turn them all off.
I have afterburner and riva tuner and others running with no issues but other users cannot run their games with those running.

wow - sorry i've been away - i was hoping other folks would be more helpful

short answer:

you are experiencing frame stuttering when entering Rattay - this is a common problem and caused by a bottleneck in the processing network of ur hardware.

the game is not well optimized, and the best solution is to turn down the in-game graphics settings

to turn down your graphics settings in "Advanced Graphics Settings":

1. reduce any "Ultra High" setting to "Very High" (big processing load difference)
2. reduce all the "(distance)" sliders to below 60% (this is a big processing load),
3. reduce things related to "(quality)" - specifically, reduce "Shader quality", "Shadows", "Water Details"

also, turn On "Show FPS" in the "Graphics Settings"

Now go play the game, watch the results of the in-game FPS number as Henry roams around, and change the same settings up or down until you have a good balance

there are more detailed, and finer-tuned "user.cfg" modifications, but i run the game with 60+fps at 1440p on a 1070Ti...

... so no one should have issues running this game once expectations meet reality

that I can give you: privacy.
now what are you, some sort of gaming police? hahaha

Answer the question, or don't, and move on, do you think that even if the guy uses black-flagged version you'd manage to achieve anything by attempting a rat-out? It's impossible to prove, my friend, specially because the game sells on GOG too. What I never believe is the "I own in console", but that also doesn't matter. Not my problem, not your problem neither lol

I have tried many variations of your instructions, nothing helps. Not even the "Low" setting. He really doesn't know what to do anymore.

click on steam help/system information
copy/paste everything here
probably some one with the same hardware/OS or with gaming hardware knowledge can spot the problem and has some suggestions

99% of the time it's bad config / battered system conditions (computer being infected or overloading due to not meeting specs for some software, that includes OS) which is incredibly hard to detect as a 3rd party asking questions. I always go for the basics, game is indeed utter feces when it comes to optimization, and it must be "handled with care" - key basic instructions were already given (lowering settings and other basics).

You must share your computer specs - video card, CPU, ram, and storage (HDD or SSD - how much of it is free), Operating System - than there might be something I can say that may help.

Another question is, is this problem only with KCD1 or other games too? Are you using a laptop or a desktop computer?
