I am reporting back after benchmarking every single setting for everything.....


So in my laptop RBS13 with 1080ti eGPU


Petty much nothing did a thing, and the reported cpu usage is very wrong....
But what helped with the stuttering was reducing textures to medium....

The only explanation I can come up with, its a bus related problem, so the bottleneck is the pcie -> tb -> egpu connection.
But still see cpu spikes in stutter situations.


And now my desktop, where the stuttering just disapread without any changes, so I have no idea....


Still the cpu monitoring is completely broken....
I am pretty sure, before it was a cpu problem, now its gone without doing anything so, maybe it will be back next time.
If so, I will report back.

@ubi-froggard
Also one of the first things I did, and I think VSYNC is also causing this

@ubi-froggard
No sorry, you missunderstood me.
It was my reply to your suggestion of limiting the fps, what is already archived with vsyn.
I guess you just wanted to prevent 1000+fps spikes with this, what would cause problems for the cpu, if the gpu is able to.

So far my desktop system has been totaly fine, with and without SVM, so I can not recreate the stuttering on this system.

With my laptop+eGPU it was very hard to only use the eGPU. I needed to disable the dedicated GPU (1650) and disable alsoe the iGPU in order to get the newest drivers installes for the 1080ti, but this is a problem on nvidias side.
Still the game didn't recognize the eGPU, despite using it...
But a system with 3 GPUs is a chaos anyway, so this is a very rare problem.

Thanks for the support

@ubi-thrupney Nothing changed.

@claud1u111 Sorry to hear that this issue is continuing. We would appreciate if you could send us your system files via a support case.

You can find how to do this here.

An agent will then respond to you directly over the case.

Thank you.

I am on the same boat, massive stuttering. Running 9700k with RTX 3080, I have not this issue with any other game. There are also multiple reports on Reddit, definitely is something wrong with the game.

For anyone having this issue too, I was able to fix it. I had to run diagnostic tool on background when playing the game to find the culprit. And it was my CPU. Its powerful enough, its not the issue, but I noticed that frequencies are dropping randomly. And not because of overhating, but it looks like the game was not able to fully utilize it and system just decided to drop frequencies.

So I went to BIOS, disabled C-states, Intel Speedshift technology (it will prevent CPU from dropping frequencies so easily) and voila - no more random frequency drops and no more stuttering.

I'm still having this issue on an i9-10900k@ 3.70 / Nvidia Geforce RTX 2070 Super / 64GB RAM
No matter what how much I lower the setting or the resolution. (in fact it seems to even get worse the lower I go?)
On my other set up it seems to work great but on this machine I can't get it stable... I really like the game but It's been dragging me through the mud to play it. I've tried to trouble shoot over and over... Only so much I can do myself. (It should work like all the rest of the games on this machine)
I'm here for one final attempt to make it work.... No one should have to spend hours bending over backwards to play a game. No matter how good it is. It's simply asking too much.
Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Do you have HWinfo installed? Try to enabled logging, play the game and check the log. If you will notice any CPU frequency drops, just go to BIOS and disable Intel speedshift technology (NOT Intel speed step). I also disabled C-states, but I think the main issue was speedshit.

I tried out this method, disabling SMT in BIOS for an AMD processor, after I've had stuttering for the past couple of weeks.

In my case, system is 3950X, 2070 Super, 32GB DDR4.

I can confirm that disabling SMT results in smooth gameplay, albeit at lower performance overall for this and other games as well as other programs I use (as expected). Enabling SMT again with a reboot reliably causes stuttering again, no matter the graphics settings.

Other methods I tried previously without any benefit included lowering resolution from 1440p to 1080p, locking FPS at 144, 120, and 60 FPS, attempting to launch the game with administrator rights, and elevating the process scheduling priorities for the game.

Just wanted to add a +1 to multithreading being an issue. Hope that is resolved in the future as I have to change the setting again for my usual workflow.
