Annoying stuttering

[ganzo285]

Just started the game, and i noticed this stuttering at very specific point of the first map, every single time, in the same spots. My system is powerful enough, and outside of this, i have a steady 60 fps.

I just wish to know if there is any kind of solution for this, or how impactful is this problem for the rest of the game.

Just to be clear, for me is very importat how smooth is the experience, and if this happend in the middle of a boss fight, well i prefer not to play at all.

Thanks.

Stutter or slow motion?

Stutter, the game hang just a second, and return to 60 fps, just like if it is loading textures for that portion of map

Hello!

"just like if it is loading textures for that portion of map" - thats 100% true. And you can do ~ nothing with this thing. I'm think it's part of "console-optimization" options for engine. And even if you try to set all graphics options to low - same places, same locations, stuttering will waiting for you =).

Yeah i know this, i tried all the solution i found. Nothing worked.
So if there is no cure, i just wish to know how impactful is this on the rest of the game. Or if this issue hit just few systems, and im just unlucky.

It also happens to me, in very specific points. Is there really no way to solve it? It is not something serious, but very annoying.

Definitely poor optimization.. not much can be done here. While it may be tedious, reinstalling it on a HDD might help, since the asset streaming could be optimized for slower HDD's, which are a part of the consoles, unfortunately. In some cases this can help reduce stuttering.. especially with poorly done console ports.

Well, i have one at home that i no longer used, but nothing has improved. Previously i had it installed on an NVMe M.2, and when installing it in the HDD i did not find any improvement. It is frustrating not to find a solution.

I actually legitimately just did this, so I can offer you some insight as to my experience with this situation. Like you, i've been trying to find out ways to optimize the game so that I can enjoy it much more.

Firstly, the stuttering isn't optimized/reduced by a SSD at all in my experience. In fact, i'd honestly wager it made it worse in the long run when I plugged it into one. You're free to test this, but my experience has proved that the HDD runs just a bit smoother in this instance, and I've legitimately no idea why that's the case.

I ran a pretty standard setup. Turned off shadows, and basically maxed everything out else because that was the recommended course of action for a rig as beefy as mine. For the most part -- Yeah, it's playable like that. Got a somewhat-reliable 60FPS, but I wanted to delve deeper and see if there was anything else I could do to help it be more stable, because Yokai fight's tended to be very laggy when a bunch of the miasma would show up.

What I found to work for me is going to sound weird, but hear me out: Max your settings.

I don't know why/how to even explain it, but for some odd reason leaving shadows OFF, along with other options seems to make the game drag for me, and having shadows to Low was even worse than having them "OFF." Yet I found when I have everything maxed and pushing my GPU/CPU a lot more, I've noticed considerably less stutter when the game streams in models/textures and event cue's like it does on occasion.

It also seems to keep a solid 60 in basically every encounter -- even those pesky particle-effect heavy one's with massive Yokai. I'd like to test it with Nue to make sure, but I haven't gotten there yet.

Maybe give it a shot yourself, and let me know the results. I can really only hope that this helps.

I'd first try maxing the settings at the resolution you normally play games at, and see if it improves. If it doesn't, try upping the resolution steadily towards 4K, and if it gets worse, then unfortunately it sounds like my method didn't work for you, which would suck. :[

Anyways, happy trails dude. Hope it works for you.

I will do it. I will put everything to the maximum and i will tell you how it has gone. :)

It's simple:
Plug in a controller, if you have one!

OR

If you don't have a controller, just install vJoy!

i play with a xbox 360 controller, it's another kind of stuttering.

Having same issue, its just unbearable if you have to fight near that "loading textures" places, it just constantly stutters, and this is on good SSD and good hardware.

I played the game back in 2018 with an i5 4690 and a gtx 960, ssmooth, now with a 5600x and a 6600xt, it stutters like hell... im giving up
