Horrible stuttering. No idea why...

[Hoppled]

In terms of troubleshooting on my side, there has been all that can be done.

Since I've noticed these stutters, I've upgraded my motherboard, RAM, etc. and reinstalling Windows. Other games do not have this issue. Drivers up to date including chipset and BIOS update.

Basically, it just will have these horrible frame drops, from 120 to 50 all of sudden and constantly. This game ran better in 2017 when I was using a GTX 750 Ti...

I don't think it has to do with the uncapped framerate at 120 FPS either. I'm pretty sure it was doing this at 60. I followed the config commands my friends used in their ini files, just as they did. Lowering settings doesn't fix it either. Also to note- I use a 165 Hz freesync monitor, specs below:

GPU: RX 6600 XT 8GB VRAM

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X

RAM: 32GB DDR4 3600 MHz

hows the temps looking? CPU GPU.

First thought of mine is CPU overheating, causing to slow down which is stuttering then ofc.

Check other games without EAC in them.

Temps are normal both CPU/GPU

Just to make sure. U are sure its graphics related stutters, and not network sided ones?

Also since u "messed" with ini files, are UsedDynamicResolution usevsync both set to true? If not change that. Another thought of mine (network related) you could try to turn off crossplay for one game, and see if it still happens.

Have you any progress or response for your ETW captures from Hunt? You may try this and send it to these people, but, I guess, they know the cause and would silently ignore it as everyone else.
These issues are pita since march'22 and you can't fix them no matter what you do. I'm not sure a NASA computer would help with this.
Sometimes game update improves it, sometimes it makes the game completely unplayable.

Since having the random waves of frame drop issues I have done everything under the sun, including:

New SSD, new GPU, new CPU, new motherboard and new RAM. All were upgrades. Unless my PSU is the cause, then it’s the game.

The customer support service representative basically said it could be that my processor is AMD, which are not good for their initial single core performance, which this games relies heavily on.

Intel processors are suggested for a smooth experience for this game…. They should’ve coded it better then, in my opinion. I’m just cucked because I didn’t go intel.

EDIT: didn’t realize this was in the DBD forum. But yeah, same effect. Horrible stutters on a completely new PC still. Maybe I need to re-enable vsync, but I have a freesync monitor so it wouldn’t make sense.

Either way, DBD is horribly coded. I could use an old PC with a GTX 460 and get better performance.

So that game should also stutter at random on all major game consoles around because they're running AMD hardware, or does it?
Idk why anybody would want to deal with those so called support services, you can't expect anything helpful...

having same problem with a Ryzen 5700X 32gb Ram 3200mhz CL 16 and a 3070 having the problem on both of my Monitors 4k 60hz and 1440p 165 hz i tested unlocking the FPS beeing in 1440p around 100-120 fps now but still have this weird stutter feeling since a month and its not a FPS related Stutter 1% low on the a 60hz limitation is at 59 fps the stutter only happenning in DBD and it feels like if i turn the camera that it moves in like 10° steps

Same here since around a month ago. Probably either Unreal Engine or some crappy copy protection.

Lots of people have been saying if you use a ryzen cpu with Windows 11 your kinda screwed. If possible try to switch to windows 10 at any cost.

Avoid windows 11 like the plague.

Thats a possibility. I do have Ryzen, refusing to upgrade to Windows 11, and got no problems.

Had this issue too (AMD 6700XT). Almost idle GPU and FPS from 60 ... to sometimes < 30 (I think due forced Vsync).

I've fixed it:
Right click on desktop and choose "Display settings"
Klick "Graphic settings" at the bottom
Browse for your DBD exe: [Path-to-your-steam-lib]+"\steamapps\common\Dead by Daylight\DeadByDaylight\Binaries\Win64\DeadByDaylight-Win64-Shipping.exe"
Select the new icon of your new added game exe and hit Options
Change to "High performance"

It's running a lot better now. That said optimization of the game is not that great and settings of DBD are very, very weak. No VSYNC option. No Resolution option (so you might be doomed to play on 4K even if your GPU is too slow for that). No real Fullsceen option (just some faked borderless one).
