Stutter/jitter when aiming in 1st person

[matrixagent555]

I recently started playing the game again. This was not a problem a few months back. Everything is smooth in 3rd person, but when aiming in 1st person it seems like the fps is dropping or stuttering even though the fps counter remains stable, similar to if gsync was not activated. Anyone else have/had this issue?

No, but since you haven't played in months and haven't had the issue in the past it wouldn't hurt to verify your game files through steam.

I've had quite a few games i revisited after a long time which would run like absolute dogsheesh and most of the times verifying cache files fixed it.
Also double check if you have the latest video card drivers updated, i often neglect that and that too has solved similar issues in the past.

Other than that i have no idea, maybe double check if your settings haven't changed after a reinstall/update.
If settings were the case i'd expect lag in third person as well, but just give it a look.
Especially the "asynchronous compute" option can make a huge difference, try turning it on or off and see if that helps as a last resort (it depends on your system so trying it is the best way of finding out).

same, I always play until this recent patch. I updated my graphics card but still got the stutter when aiming at 1st person

I wonder if not enough people use 1st person aiming for this to be a well known issue. Hopefully more people notice it so it is brought to the devs attention. Not the end of the world as the game is still a lot of fun in 3rd person, but I definitely prefer the 1st person aiming.

Yeah I've noticed that, it actually seems to be based around the terrain on calypso. Some of it's really smooth but around town entrances and some streets it gets really janky.

it all started since the patch with the new stuff happened like 2 days ago, no joke I have been playing the game like every day or so. The new stuff is a buggy mess, it is really common for the stuff to be glitched, I've seen floating purple question marks and missing black boxes (under map or just not spawned I think), a lot of this stuff isn't polished yet which sucks for us just trying out the new stuff and damn the car is poo poo levels bad to control compared to most vehicles in other games....... I wish the missions weren't so bugged commonly and no, I am not running modded, I have tried to delete and reinstall my game files and delete and install the game and this is still a problem.

I think the stutter is bound to the game adapting animation quality, to improve performance with lots of enemies around.
I guess its a bug for now. I only get the low animation framerate with many voteless around.

I finally see what you mean now.
The framerate remains the exact same, but when using first person the player model's framerate seems to be significantly lower, giving the arms and gun a jittery movement when you swing them around.

Yeah it is smooth most of the time; you would think it would affect 3rd person equally if it was just cause by a CPU bottleneck in some situations. I think you guys are both correct though, the city combined with a lot of enemies seem to be what causes the issue

Same!

having the same issue as well, more notiable on higher diffs where there is more mobs

[matrixagent555]

I have not seen any other topics addressing this issue, so hopefully more people will continue to respond to this one and keep it at the top of the board for further visibility. It's a shame because the zombie style trash mobs are perfect for 1st person head shotting lol.

Hopefully the devs either see this topic or notice the issue themselves.

Im getting weapon stutter when I aim in third person. I think it's a bug with the patch.

Check your frame rate when this happens. The 1st person stutter does not actually change the frame rate as far as i can tell, it just makes it seem like it does.

Im not getting any fps drops during the stutter, 4090

I'm pretty sure it's the terrain, or at least it was when I experienced aiming stutter
