Stutter at high refresh rate
Is anyone having this problem? The game stutters when the character is moving/running. If I change the refresh rate of my 144hz monitor to 60hz it's mostly fine...but is this supposed to be happening? Is this game not optimised for high refresh rate? I'm using RTX2080/i78700k/32GB RAM/1TB SSD.

I have a similar problem, 120hz gsync display, 2080ti, 3900x, 32gb with game installed on a 2tb 970 evo plus nvme.

It's not a frame rate issue as it never dips below 120fps but when the character is moving, the screen movement is not smooth at all.

That's exactly it...frame rate seems fine, but the game stutters. Like I said, if I change my monitor refresh rate to 60Hz the stutter is mostly gone. The stutter is not game-breaking, considering the type of game this is, just very annoying.

Not sure about yourself but for me, the camera zoom is silky smooth. It's the panning as you move around that's jittery.

Yep, zooming is smooth, just panning as you move is the issue. It's annoying, but I've just set one of my monitors to 60Hz, that seems to have solved the issue. Don't think this game is optimized well for high refresh rates.

Same here. On my system stutters are most visible around 80-100FPS when panning, less severe at >100FPS.

Using R5 2600 + RX 5700, game installed on SSD.

Was really worried after seeing this thread, quite happy that the game runs fine on my 100 Hz 3440x1440 screen and my 144Hz 1080p screen.

I've also noticed that stutter at high fps/high refresh rate only occurs outdoors and not in internal structures.

I'm guessing that it is some kind of streaming /loading issue.

Damn, now that I ran outside I have noticed it aswell. Hope they will fix this with future optimisations. It is barely noticable while walking but quite intensive when running.

Also have the game on a NVME SSD, 6700K, 1080TI, 16 GB DDR4 2666

same issue. 144hz 4k g-sync

after I disabled anti-aliasing, it curiously seemed to be a bit better.

(I got a monster of a system so the game shouldn't strain anything)

Did you guys send a bug report, too? So the issue gets looked at sooner? (see pinned topic)

Done and linked this thread.

Recommend someone else does the same, more log files and configs they have, the better.

Thanks for letting the devs know. Hopefully they get it fixed soon!

LOL (sarcastic) this never got fixed and in fact, the game is broken even at 60hz(fps) !
I am playing on plasma TV with 60hz and immediately noticed stuttery camera despite running at stable 60fps with vsync (enforced since game is borderless windowed).

After some googling I tried switching my windows to 50hz and enforcing 50fps limit on Disco and voila, the camera is smooth as a butter.

Utterly appaling that this never got fixed, neither in FInal cut or any of the numerous patches. Game is borderline broken and nobody from dev team notices it I guess.
