Major Stuttering

[forever]

Anyone else experiencing frequent stutters with his game no matter which graphical settings are selected? I'm running AMD fx -8350 and 390. Game ran fine when it first launched, but the performance really degraded over the last few patches for me.

Not me. Some do, and I'm sure it is due to their graphics card and/or driver. Make sure everything is up to date. Disable any extraneous programs you have running, if needed.

My computer was built in 2012, but has Mid-range graphics card from last year. It runs awesome.

Validate your game file, since youre on Steam.

Well, the first time I ran the game, I streamed it on Twitch and it ran smoothly. I played it after a couple of patches without streaming and experienced the stuttering. Also, I did roll back my drivers to play OW since there are issues with the latest AMD drivers and OW, but I've updated them before I played DoS2. Did you install this game to an SSD by any chance?

Yes, SSD. However, my HDDs are RAIDed for performance and would be faster in some respects.

Have you tried making adjustments to the graphics settings, either at game level or your card?

Dumb question, but have you restarted your computer?

I get the same issues not matter which graphical setting. LMAO I didn't restart when I played lasyt night, but I'll try it now.

I myself am experiencing some major stuttering, even on the medium graphick settings. I'm sporting Gtx 1060 GTX and 8GB Ram. Though my processor being I5 3570K Might need some upgrading but still, it should run smoothly on medium settings.

Have everything maxed, played fine at 60 fps, but started having really bothersome lag after the last 10 days or so. Running on a SSD, nvidia 1070 gtx 8 gig, specs shouldn't be a problem. I'm going to check later if I need my drivers updated.

Having the same problem with my 390x, the game stutters to about 10fps every second and it makes the game unplayable. I've updated my drivers, but its had no effect on performance. is it a patch issue or an issue with my computer?

Hey Guys

I Know This Thread Is Old And Many Of You May Not Be Playing Divinity Anymore However I Would Like To Post My Fix As I Had A Lot Of Microstutter In This Game And I Am A Nut For Absolute Smooth Performance.

After About Three Weeks Of Trying Random Things, I Feel I Have Almost Always Smooth Gameplay With Only The Random Load Hitch Every Hour Or Two. Also I Know This Solution Is Gunna Sound Weird And Make No Sense But It Worked For Me

First: Go Into Steam, Right Click Properties On Divinity Original Sin 2 And Disable Cloud Saving On The Updates Tab

Second: Open Up Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3d Settings > Program Settings Tab - And Add A Profile For Divinity Original Sin 2: Definitive Edition

Change These Settings In NCP
Maximum Pre Rendered Frames = Use The 3d Application
Open GL Rendering GPU = *Set Your GPU
Power Management Mode = Prefer Maximum Performance
Texture Filtering - Quality = High Performance
Texture Filtering - Trilinear Optimization = On (This Made A Difference And Was The Last Thing I Changed And Seems To Help)
Triple Buffering = On (You Will Be Setting This Twice - I Know Its Weird And Makes Little Sense)
Vertical Sync = On
VR Pre-rendered Frames = Use The 3d Setting

Third: Your In Game Options Set To What Is Appropriate For Your PC (This Guide Is Mainly For People Getting Stutter When Their PC Can Clearly Handle The Game)

Then Set Your Display Setting To These

Resolution - Set Your Screen Res And Highest Hz Rate Your Monitor Offers
Display Mode - Fullscreen
V-sync - Triple Buffering

Then Enable Frame Cap And Set It To What Your Display Is Running At
For Example My Monitor Has A 75 Hz Refresh And Is V-sync To 75 FPS, So I Set My Frame Cap To 75 Also

If This Still Doesn't Work Try Utilising The In Game V-sync With FPS Cap Or Use The NCP V-sync With In Game V-sync Off And The FPS Cap Enabled

You Can Also Set Your Priority To High Within Task Manager > Details > Right Click EoCapp And Change. However, Once I Changed Texture Filtering - Trilinear Optimization = On I No Longer Saw An Improvement In Results

Anyway I Now Have Smooth Gameplay, No Tearing, And I Can Pan The Camera And Rotate It Without Seeing Small Hitches Happening In Game

I Honestly Think The Change To Trilinear Optimisation Was The Difference Maker. I Noticed That The Stutter Had Something To Do With The Textures Loading In At High Speeds Regardless Of Whether Texture Streaming Was Disabled Or Not. I Looked At The Cores Performing During Gameplay And The Game Uses All Cores But Some Of The Cores Where Doing Slightly More Or Less Than Others (At Least On My Machine) - The Problem Lies In How The Game Uses The CPU

Enabling That Function I Feel Optimizes That Process And Somehow Helps The Game Generate Whatever It Needs When Panning The Camera In Game At High Speeds

That's Probably All Incorrect But Hey, At Least I Can Really Enjoy Performance On DOS2 Now


Cheers
I Have A Few Other Small Things That You Can Try If You Still Cant Get It To Work

CPU - i7 8700k
GPU - Geforce GTX 1080ti

@Ziiyke what the hell happened with your capslock..

It improves a little bit of my fps but it doesn't remove my "stuttering every 5 seconds" problem. I'll try update my driver and see if it works (if there is an update anyways). my gpu is nvidia 1050. everything is on 5-20 percent but the gpu is capped on 100%, Low settings. lol. Other similar games have it on Medium Setting and it only 50-60 percent of the gpu.

It wasn't like this when I played classic last year but now I'm returning to this game with Definitive and Classic having the same stutter problem

nvidia 1050 gtx
ram 24 gb
ssd samsung 970 evo plus
cpu i7 7700hq

update : updated the driver from 2018 to 2020. nothing changed. still gpu utilization 100% and still freezing
