Stuttering, Small freezes and framerate Issues

**alus992** · 09-10-2013, 10:35 PM

For those who just posted their problem to inform You on actual state of FG about this problem:
"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."

"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."

"But if this was an issue only with the game, due to lack of optimization, then everyone would have this issue with these setups. They don't as if they did this forum would not be working at the moment due to the load of users wanting support.

Yes, of course it is not good that there is this issue. But chances are there is no patch possible to make, as the problem might most likely be with hardware/software conflicts or potential issues outside of the game.

Try to shut everything down possible, definitely do not leave the browser open in the background, turn off antivirus, steam overlays, hardware accelerated aero themes and what not."

So everything i caused by our specs not by them, thats what they say all day.

You don't have to but if u want to... many tried and everyone have the same problem still.

It has to be an engine problem cuz many said that Penumbra, Amnesia "1" had the same issues. Many streamers have the same problem and people who did reviews also.

The crucial sentences from Jens ""Yes, of course it is not good that there is this issue. But chances are there is no patch possible to make, as the problem might most likely be with hardware/software conflicts or potential issues outside of the game."

god damnitt.. what a waste of money then.. i was relly looking forward to this game.

Funny thing is that Jens said this is an uncommon problem but its already 8 pages of complains (I know that 2 of them is probably mine Tongue

)

Stuttering can also mean that a steam file integrity check is needed. Or that some background program is interfering constantly. Or bad graphics card drivers.

like, who cares if it is an uncommon problem.. we want to play the game we have been eagerly waiting for.. i spent money on this.. and i can't play it.. their has got to be some way to fix it.. their just has to..

If we have passed minimal req we should be able to play without such issues at least at lowest settings

I don't think that there are actually any people who don't have the stuttering.
Most of the players probably don't even know about this forum or they simply don't care about this stuff and keep playing....

Let's see:
We have people with SSDs.....still stuttering.....guys with super high end i7 CPUs and monster GPUs like the 670gtx.....still stuttering.....i tried playing the game on three(!) different PCs (my own, my father's and a friend's).....guess what....stuttering!

This game is broken.

Hmm devs will tell You that the is "1 stuttering user" for every 1000 non-stuttering so its not worth to fix that

No problems with drivers/background programs/etc. Im not a noob, the game HAS problems not our PC's and OS.
