Stuttering Issue in the Game

[timtheterrible]

Hi, I've been having an issue with this game for a while now where the frame rate says 60 pretty much all the time, but moving seems to create microstuttering. Movement is pretty much like it appears in this test: https://testufo.com/stutter#demo=microstuttering

I understand many people probably aren't experiencing this issue, but I have a 1080 ti, 32GB RAM, and an overclocked i7 6700k at 4.6 Ghz, so I don't think hardware is the issue. I've played at a number of lower resolutions and tried turning V-Sync on and off, nothing seems to fix the issue. It also tried playing the game on a much lower-powered laptop, and this issue didn't appear. Any help would be appreciated.

I have this issue if i play a video (youtube) in a second monitor (Benq g2400w 60hz) at the sametime.

Playing only in the principal (Acer X34 100hz Predator with Gsync) the game runs without problems.

Messaggio originale di lupman84:

Same problem
RTX2080 I5 16Gb ram HD SDD M2
I started playing it again after about a year with the release of the new patch and now everything slows down in any resolution.
the only thing different i own than before is a 4k 60hz monitor

My monitor is also 4k/60 (Overclocked to 64).

This is really strange. I'm playing this game on a virtual machine without any problems. My system has a ryzen 5 2600 16GiB ram and 1060 3GiB.

Yeah, like I said, I have a much lower powered laptop that plays the game without this issue. But my higher powered desktop has this issue. It's only on this game.

I seem to have understood that this is a problem that affects the most performing computers, it is not a problem due to our PCs.
Hope the developers will take action with a pretty quick fix.

Heads up: I changed my main display monitor from my 4k to my ultrawide and the issue isn't present on the ultrawide. I wonder if there's something I can change on the 4k to get rid of the stuttering. It would be great to be able to play on my main monitor without it.

Same here, almost every time I launch the game there's intense microstuttering, MSI frametime graph shows 30+, instead of 16.6, meaning the displayed framerate is supposed to be hovering around 35 fps, but stays 60, causing these stutters.
So I close the game, do some fiddling with resolutions and vsync, set it back to how it was previously, re-open it and there are no issues for a while, but then it starts chugging for a brief moment, before returning back to normal. Annoying to say the least, will probably drop it until it's fixed, but I doubt it will be. Dont recall having any of these issues on release.

A similar problem...
The game started at 60+ (although I think there were 144 of them) before the release of the DLC,drawdowns began to 30 fps (and less).

FYI Everything was fine on my system before the DLC (finished the game with no issues other than upset that the game won't do framerates higher than 60fps).

DLC patch messed stuff up, all of a sudden weird 30fps gameplay and terrible stutter.

The last 'Optimization patch' fixed everything - back to normal over here.

Hi,

Thanks for entering this thread. Since the issue only happens when my 4k monitor is selected as primary, I'm assuming it's a monitor issue. My monitor is U28E590D 28-Inch 4k UHD. It's been overclocked to a maximum of 64 hz.

[Team17_Assist]

Hey timtheterrible

Could you please confirm the make of the Monitor?
You're able to play with a different monitor that is not 4k?

Get back to us when you can.

Regards,
Team17 Support.

[timtheterrible]

Hi,
Yes. My primary monitor is a Samsung U28E590D 28-Inch 4k UHD. My secondary monitor is an LG 25UM57 Ultra Wide. I am able to play without any stuttering on the LG 25UM57 Ultra Wide monitor if I set it to primary.

The Samsung U28E590D 28-Inch 4k UHD creates stuttering no matter what in-game settings I use. Based on what I've seen from some of the other people in this thread saying they have the same problem, at least some of them seem to have 4k monitors.

[Team17_Assist]

Hey timtheterrible,

Thanks for confirming that for us.

Can you try changing the resolution of the monitor at all?
This has fixed some other issues including 4k monitors in the past.

Try different resolutions (preferably also try the ones in the game options).

Then re-test the game with these resolutions and see whether there is any difference.

Get back to us when you can.

Hi,
I have changed the resolution both in the game all the way from highest to lowest, and I've also tried selecting a lower resolution through Windows. Neither one stopped the stuttering. I have a 1080 ti, 32GB RAM, and an overclocked i7 6700k at 4.6 Ghz, so I don't think hardware is the issue.
