Stuttering, Small freezes and framerate Issues

Same issue, Merged!

If you had it in TDD then you'll have it in AMFP. It is probably due to
slow harddrive, potentially damaged harddrive, as the stutter could come from
audio being streamed. In particular if you have close to the minimum
specifications for the rest of the requirements this will be a
noticeable issue. Related/other cause could also be the amount of VRAM
your graphics card have and how much it needs to change the contents
during play.

I have this issue when an event is about to happen. And my thread got deleted, not sure why but I guess this thread is close enough to my problem?

I merged one thread earlier, you had a reply there if that's what you mean. It's merged somewhere, not deleted.

Okay, so no help and fix. Tales of a broken hard drive and a weak computer. Then i want a steam refund. This game is broken.

Oh ok. I found a framerate fix here but I'm not sure if it works yet..

Jens: How You can blame costumer's PC for this stuttering by telling them that they have broken HDD, slow PC or defragmented HD, when people say that they have issue on high-end PCs that can handle any other high-end game like GTAIV, SRIV, SC:Blacklist etc? How it's possible that PC with better hardwere have this issue and same PC with worse specs don't?

All who bought new Amnesia obiously has broked HDD or whole PC:/

I found out that contrary to Amnesia, if I set SSAO quality to High the game gets stuck at around 40fps even at the main menu. With SSAO quality to Medium and everything else to MAX, I get full 60fps! Try that.

Because it is not certain those game use the same technology, so they might not have the need to read of the drive in the same way?

Giving potential causes for it. Could also be software conflicts or the alike. All games mentioned are DirectX games, so if this is a graphics issue then that does not help much in comparing them as AMFP/TDD is using OpenGL. Can try make sure to have up-to-date drivers, if using beta versions, use the latest stable. Resetting the settings in the control panels to make sure that there is no conflict with ingame options. Not using high SSAO or samples above 8x, as it does not improve the looks noticeably but is performance hungry as crazy.
