LIMIT YOUR FPS!

[toku]

I don't have the best rig but I was still able to pump out 100+ fps at times on low but the stuttering was killing my enjoyment. It was really bad and I tried everything from disabling all the texture loading stuff to even halving the render scaling via supersampling.

None of that completely fixed my stuttering issue but limiting my fps to 90 did! Try limiting it to whatever suits your need (144, 60 etc). Only done a little testing but so far everything seems to be working fine for me!

Nice find, there seems to be varying fixes for different people, maybe we should collect all of them into a megathread


for me it was adding this to my launch options

-USEALLAVAILABLECORES

Plus

Turn off textures streaming
Turn off keep loaded textures in memory

I'm also using adaptive vsync from nvidia control panel and maximum power

I can cope with the textures taking a second to load as long as it doesnt freeze my game

That's a good one! I was going to try to see if it was using less cores or something if limit fps didn't work!

So we have:
Limit FPS
Turn off texture streaming
Turn off keep loaded textures in memory
-USEALLAVAILABLECORES

I've said this since closed alpha but people have always said "how does capping your fps fix it"

[toku]

I never saw your original posts or comments but hope you feel vindicated =P

For the alpha and beta players do this:

Delete all data in the folder: “%LOCALAPPDATA%\Insurgency\Saved\Config\WindowsClient”

How-To:

WIN + R
Copy and paste the folder location above.
Delete everything in this folder and start I:SS

Worked for me.

EDIT: My setting "textures streaming" was set to low, after I changed it to "off", it stutters like crazy. I changed it back to low.

I agree Grave, but for now we do what we can :)

They will fix this, this is a temporary solution.

Setting Texture Pool size to "OFF" is a bad idea because it's allowing unlimited VRAM usage for textures.
This is from the last patch notes:

• Added unlimited texture pool size option, which is necessary for those choosing to keep their textures loaded in memory. This should be used with caution and only on high spec machines with sufficient VRAM and system memory.

Best is to set it to low and use High if needed.

Personally I can get away with setting it to off but yea its not a gaurenteed win for everyone

People are so stupid when it comes to FPS. Your brain can only process a high 70 fps range. You'd have to be superhuman to actually realize anything above 70. 40-60 is an ideal range for games.

But people think that 100+ fps is the best thing ever. Idiots.

Its about stuttering, learn to read eh?

Isn't that the new option called "keep textures loaded" below the texture pool option??

Stuttering can happen when your fps constantly jumps from a low fps to a high one. If you cap fps to a low fps setting, then it wont jump to a higher fps, resulting in a low but constant fps.

I use the launch option -high but not actually sure if it helped anything

I was trying to change the cpu priority to high but that bloody anti cheat took away permissions on my own pc i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate that, whos pc is this mine or theirs
