Constant Random stutters??
Anyone suffering of this? Tried to restart the pc after triying the game and somewhat looked like it was solved, but everytime theres something exploding, game freezes for like a second or two.

Playing 1080p dx11 on ultra.

Specs ryzen 3600, rtx3060ti, 16gb 3200mhz ram, game installed on nvme ssd 1tb.

3080 and 5900x the FPS is high but doesn't feel "smooth" at times like something is definitely weird going on in the background. Like a very subtle microstutter every once in a while which sadly I'm really sensitive to noticing lol.

I had bad stutters on DX12. On DX11, turning vsync on helped me a little, but indeed, any new "model" (like an explosion) makes bad stutters once, seems like it doesn't precache some stuff to avoid that.

From my expierence all isometric games stutter more or less and the only way to really fix it is to enable v-sync. That is at least what always worked for me in other similar games.

I guess this stutter issue was known about before release ? So why not it fix it then or hold the game back a week or two ?

Once I get into the archology with all the people and such, game is a stutterfest, even with the first boss, every attack was a 1 second stutter.

Not very playable rn sadly, as they say they are fixing it, hope they solve it soon, since this things really hurt a title launch badly.

Facing the same issue, specially with explosions. I hope you get a fix soon, or enable a way to preload shaders!

Thanks for the reply. No apology, but at least a reply. You should have fixed this before release (like you told various YT channels you would) I expect your game and developers reputation to flop if this is not patched within the coming hours. People have had enough of this now. How can you be proud of this stuttering mess?

Unfortunate. I'l buy this once the stutter is fixed!

+1, the stuttering is terrible.

It keeps stuttering or me even after the first explosion. The first boss is unplayable. Every time he shoots missiles the fps tanks.

Game sometimes drops to 10 or 20fps for me on a 3080. What gives?

not a fix for big stutters like when story elements (ship crashing, building exploding) happens, but for smaller stutter related to level loading and walking around:

you can set the game's NVidia CP page to 'prefer max performance'. This helped me, and now I only get drops when said bigger events happen, and briefly when changing to the dialogue camera.

Same issues! Big freezes (RTX 2070 Super)
