Microstuttering and half second game freezes?

[Viper]

Anyone else have this issue? Updated my drivers, set the priority to high, lowered graphics settings, the whole deal, and i still get them. The game runs at max fps otherwise and my cpu/gpu aren't even hitting 70%. Any suggestions?

For me it was my AV,I've uninstalled it and now I'm using a different one,no more stutter&freeze,and I've set Sekiro.exe to run in admin mode.

Which AV out of curiosity?

@Cryhog I was using Immunet AV ,now I'm using BitDefender Free Edition
(imho 90% of an AV's effectiveness is the user's common sense...)

Okay, for anyone who is having problems I've fixed my issue 100%. All I did was go into the CPU Affinity (within the Task Manager and Details section) and set Sekiro to only use CPU cores 1-8. That 100% fixed it and I get a solid 60fps 100% of the time now. I'm not sure if this is only an issue for computers with a lot of cores or something to do with my configuration specifically but this has 100% solved it for me.

Just to be clear, the issue I had is thus: every 5-7 minutes, the game would hitch 3-4 times in a row.

Full credit for the fix goes to this guy. Go to Device Manager > Software Devices and disabling Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator.

Go into device manager and under software devices turn off the Microsoft device association root enumerator.

Disabling the Intel Turbo Boost Max Tech 3.0 via unchecking the "Enable" box in the said client cleared any frame drops for me. Client can be located in the Start windows. For some, Intel TBMT 3.0 might be active on startup, appearing as a pop-up. Maybe this will help some of you. I found this solution on a different thread.

THANK YOU. I literally tried everything in this thread but this did it for me for clean 60 fps

Was having the same issue last night and it seemingly just fixed itself for me when I booted up this morning. Game was sort of just randomly dropping/stuttering into the mid 50's then bouncing back up.

ps4 controller (wired in)


What I did step by step

What Didn't Work (for me) :

1.) Followed nvidia control panel tweaks noted on front tech (Did Not Help)
2.) Messed with graphic settings (Did not Help)
3.) Restarted steam (Did Not Help)
4.) Restarted PC (Did Not Help)
5.) Multiple displays already turned off but I went ahead and physically unplugged 2nd monitor from gpu (Did Not Help)
6.) Check GPU driver (Up To Date)
7.) Check Windows Update - Last Updated on the 19th, 5 days ago, win. ver. 1803
8.) ♥♥♥♥ it, got frustrated, went to bed
9.) Woke up, found this thread, found the idea of a controller issue a good one to follow up on


What Worked (I Guess):

1.) Started up steam and Sekiro with controller unconnected and played around with mouse and Key - Eureka! microstutter/frame drops gone
2.) Plugged in controller in game after a handfull of minutes and still no stutter (though I did note that big picture didn't enable itself when I did)
3.) Restarted the game, this time with controller and big picture enabled, fully expecting the microstutter to present itself once again, but it did not

I've tried everything and nothing works. Funny thing is the half to one second freezes seems to be linked to one area. If I'm in any other area so far I don't get the freezes. The area is The area just after the giant snake and a little passed the bull boss on the bridge with the old lady. I don't know how far the freezing continues as I decided to go the other route I could take the estate , and that area has no freezing at all.

I'd like to reiterate, that setting sekiro to lower than normal priority in the task manager fixed all the issues I've had, if you're at your wits end, give it a shot :P

If you're having issues and running multiple monitors try turning the other off, I was having plenty of issues and screen overlap when turning the camera on a 9900k and rtx 2080 1440p gysnc, but after disabling the monitor no issues whatsoever

Here is what fixed this issue for me. I changed my dns server (https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-your-pcs-dns-settings-windows-10) to google dns server 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. after this the hitching was gone. Hope this helps some one.
