Slow and Stuttering

[thatdecade]

Running SS3:BFE at the lowest resolution and cpu/gpu settings allows me navigate the main menu, however gameplay is still stutters and is very unplayable.

Running win8 on a fast pc. So far I have tried verifying cache and switched in and out of publicbeta mode.

What should I do next? Log shows errors in "Failed to precache" and "[Direct3D] Device lost".

Have you tried updating your BIOS? These threads appear to discus the same issue:

What hs5rb said. You seem to have a Bulldozer CPU...

[thatdecade]

Yes, confirmed. I have a Bulldozer / Zambezi core CPU. This is most likely the issue. Google search for "steam ceg bulldozer" gives some detailed descriptions of my issue.

During my troubleshooting I installed linux. Linux is a whole other can of worms, but I have SS3 running with a proper frame rate.

Since I have a stable system, I am reluctant to re-flash the bios at this time.

edit: odd that I have other CEG games that run just fine.... oh well ;)

Yeah, this Bulldozer issue is a weird one. If we knew what is actually going on in there, we might be able to fix or advise, but AMD's lips are sealed. All we know is that "the new BIOS fixes the problem". :)
