GD is stuttering sometimes.
I have constant 60FPS, but when i run, every 5 seconds a “stutter” appears…
This is a very very short 1 time stutter, after this ir runs smooth until the next 5 seconds…
I have a good pc:
I7-7700k
32 gb ram
Gtx18080
Running at 3440x1440
I turned vsync off, didnt help…
Triplebuffering dudnt change anything…
Did you mean gtx 1080? Regardless, your specs obviously aren’t the problem. the game isn’t properly optimized and the game runs using TQ’s engine which wasn’t designed for multi core processor performance. I’ve had some luck changing the options in the installation folder and forcing the game to only use 1 core, but turning down lighting or shadows also helps. It doesn’t matter how good your specs are; poor optimization means that people with really good specs will still experience stutters from time to time. Does the stuttering happen mostly in certain areas or with a certain number of enemies?
Open game settings. DISABLE Vsync. ENABLE Triple Buffering. Go into nVidia’s Control Panel and create a GD profile. Set Vsync for that profile to FAST option.
No matter what you try, the game will slutter here and there, it’s an engine being poorly optimized, tried several rigs, with top notch hardware, here and there a small slutter, even for a second, seems like the interface is reloading instantly or something, very annoying.
What removed 90% of this stuttering for me is changing to windowed borderless mode and disabling triple buffering. Which is exactly the opposite of what has worked for some others, it’s confusing as hell to be honest.
Go to Nvidia and download the latest driver package. Now download DDU
Run DDU and select the option to reboot to Safe Mode to completely uninstall your current Nvidia drivers. When it’s done the system will boot back normally. Login and install the Nvidia driver package you downloaded. Select Custom install and only install the things you need. I advise against letting it install Experience, for example. Don’t use 3D drivers? Then uncheck the 3D drivers box? Don’t need Nvidia’s HD audio drivers? Uncheck it.
After install reboot and then setup your Grim Dawn game profile to your liking and see if the “hitch” is gone.
The idea here is to use DDU to completely remove all traces of Nvidia drivers (including old driver traces) to rule out possible interference/corruption and then do a fresh install.
Further tips: Turn off any programs running in the background that are not required while playing. Have mouse driver software running? Turn it completely off. Video recording software? Off. Antivirus scanner? Off.
There is nothing here to “fix” that Crate can influence. This is a problem that is 99.9% certainly fixable (and coming from) your end. You have to resolve this whether it be cleaning up your system (ie;reinstalling graphics drivers fresh) and disabling unneeded running programs that are the likely culprits.
I disagree, this is a GD-Issue, it’s not on my side.
I am an professional user, my system is allways up-to-date, clean and fast.
And GD is the only Game that has this issue, so it must be on the GD-Site, not on my.
My computer is not as whizz bang as yours but apart from a “jump” occasionally I have never had stuttering issues. Even in multiplayer it runs extremely smoothly. Yet I’ve had games that were “properly” optimised stutter all over the place. Sometimes games can be a bit strange and react differently for different people even with the same settings.
Have you made sure that steam isn’t running some kind of updates in the background or another program running updates? That is usually the culprit, especially if your system is clean.
If it s not your side then how can you explain that I , having a computer with nVidia 580 GTX , i5 2400 3.8Ghz processor and 8GB RAM, Win7, don’t experience problems like those you described in your first post?
Because it is an issue that appears not on every configuration…
Why there are tons of Vids out there where this issue is shown?!?
As i sad, i play every game without problems, even BF1, R6S, POE, D3 - simple everything runs perfekt - but GD has this issue…
To be sure: I dont have FPS-Problems!
My FPS are 60 with zero drops to anything below!
Even when the “stutter” appers, the FPS is still 60…
Is is a “stutter” like GD has to load something from the HDD and therefor i get this “stutter”… hard to explain…
But i have only SSD’s installed, thats not the problem…
Figured it was a Gsync issue. That’s why I asked. Disable Vsync entirely and use your Gsync instead then or whatever you need to do with it. I’ve never used Gsync and am unfamiliar with the ins and outs but other people have had issues messing around with Vsync and Gsync both but they always ended up resolving it by just using the Gsync.
That sucks. Do you utilize the cloud save feature? Cloud saving used to cause stuttering for people awhile back and disabling it helped. Haven’t really heard about it being an issue in some time now but perhaps worth a try.
