Game Stutter

[SparkTheFloof | TTV]

I come back to Dead by Daylight recently and I keep getting these odd stutters when mid chase. The FPS talks to 1 and then back up.

I am running a I9 990k with a RTX 4080.

All drivers are up to date.

Just for 1 sec?
Btw, did u get it in some time interval or randomly?

Currently it's a common issue unfortunately, started with the recent update, I don't remember whether it was the houndmaster one or the 2v8 one.

But yeah, I've seen other people complaining, and I also experience frequent stuttering during my matches which is really annoying.

2c8 patch but houndmaster patch didnt fix (though might not have known if wasnt reported by enough player base)

Disabling FSR did help remove a lot of the stuttering. I am also using 1440p

No stutter here either. Also 1440p with FSR disabled. I do have XESS mode on Ultra though.

Anyone still having this problem as of: Dec 30, 2024? Can't even play the game due to the stuttering..

Turn off everything that's running in the background. For me, a password manager caused massive stutters in DBD, specifically Sticky PW.

Method 1:

try these settings in launch options,
right click steam game -> properties and paste this below:

-xgeshadercompile -nothreadtimeout -NoVerifyGC -norhithread

Method 2:

go to directory C:\Users\USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\DeadByDaylight\Saved\Config\WindowsClient

- Open Engine.ini in text editor
- Paste these settings below to the bottom of the buffer:

[SystemSettings]
niagara.CreateShadersOnLoad=1
D3D12.PSO.DiskCache=1

- save, exit and right click Engine.ini->properties.

- SET Engine.ini TO READ ONLY and APPLY.

The information above helped greatly. Thank you sincerely for your help! For step 1 (on the properties) I keyed in this:

-xgeshadercompile -nothreadtimeout -NoVerifyGC -norhithread -dx11

And also found an odd task running on the windows task manager eating a lot of the CPU:

"Fortmedia service" ended this task and the CPU finally dropped below 100% (it was spiking all the time at 100 %) and the game has been running smoothly since!

Its some audio driver. Most likely will not effect anything if you go into Services and set the 'Fortemedia APO Control Service' Startup type to 'Disabled'. Stops it from starting on startup
