Is the stuttering issue fixed?

[Omarequies]

What's the current state of the game? I see some saying that the stuttering issue is gone for them, is it gone for everyone?

If it's not, which version of the game doesn't suffer from any issues?

[dgresevfan]

It was still happening for me.

I have however fixed it and the game is running pretty great now.

I set the game as an exception in Windows Defender and my antivirus program.

The stuttering is largely gone ever since the June update. I think I read that some people were still having issues. However, the issue has been fixed for the majority of people from what I have seen on forum posts (myself included).

It's alright for the most part, but there are still hitching throughout the game but mostly limited to cutscenes, summons and strangely... stepping into water will cause the game to stutter lots for a second or two.

Edit: I installed SpecialK and the stuttering was pretty much fixed.

Edit 2: It still stutters, and pretty bad during combat. VRAM seems to be in 100% usage a lot. I have a 4 GB card.

Edit 3: I fixed most of the stutter outside of loading into a level for the first time by going to SpecialK overlay, Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition tab and changing the vsync emulation thread and swapchain flip thread both to normal priority.

What TRAM setting are you using? I suggest no more than "medium" with this much VRAM.

I have everything set to average. The game runs fine for me now, I have a GTX 1650 4GB and 16 GB RAM. I just had to use SpecialK to help. I fixed it by going to Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition tab and changing the vsync emulation thread and swapchain flip thread both to normal priority. The only hitching that remain are upon loading into a save (level is loading so it stutters a bit but clears up quickly), sometimes walking to the diner at Hammerhead causes it but only once so far. Combat overall seems smoother than before, barely any hitching that is noticeable.

It's okay enough for me now but I wish they could fix it further.

How though? My special K isn't working at all with FFXV

It isn't? How come? I downloaded a fresh copy of SpecialK and it seems to work just fine.

[***** games 2024]

I gave up this game. Still lagging as f.

[***** games 2024]

Best thing, i cant even give it back to steam and refung my money, cause i had like 2.5 hours "played" already. I literally cant play this game cause my CPU loads insta red 99-100% even on lowest settings, also it's crashing every 10 minutes. Such a shame.

If you wanna play the game better you can pay for Xbox Gamepass and play FFXV, and plenty of other games. Windows Store version doesn't have this issue.

I might have fixed it. I used SpecialK and changed those priorities and then disabled Steam Overlay. Stutters are completely gone now.

Are you using windows 7? Special K only works with Windows 10.

Okay so... I kept all the settings at Average and then removed SpecialK. The game runs fine now, what??
