[UpdateX2] I thought I had a temporary solution, but I guess it didn’t work...I’ll leave everything up incase someone else wants to try. There really honestly is NO rhyme or reason for the frame rate drops and stuttering. Sometimes it’s fine, sometimes it’s unplayable. —Here is the weird thing—if I cap my frames at 144 the game drops to low 100s , if I cap my frames at 100 the game drops into the 80s, if I cap my frames at 72, the game drops into the 60s, if I cap my frames at 60, the game drops into the 50s. WTF DO I DO WITH THAT SHIT?? It’s like a bad joke or something.. —————————————————————————- I have tried damn near every fix I can find on the internet to no avail, My framerate will absolutely not settle down. In all of the story mission areas I am getting a constant 144fps with minimal drops, on all high settings. But in all open/free roam areas including the tower, no matter the map, I drop below 80fps into the low 70s. No matter what my settings are, everything on low, changing resolution to 720p has no effect. I am a FPS guy and want my frames regardless of look, what is my problem? My PC should beast this one out.. the only way to get any stable gameplay is locking my monitor to 60fps and that is unacceptable and unplayable for someone who spent loads of money on a gaming PC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [UPDATE] (stopped working for me) Ive been toying with everything for so long I decided try some new things. On top of the framerate being unpredictable as can be, there seemed to be an incredibly bad stuttering along with it, and it got worse the lower the frames. After tweaking some setting I finally seem to have a smooth game and have tested it out in all problemed patrol areas. First tweak is FOV. The default FOV on PC is 85, and the default FOV on console is 72 and you cant change it. Your gonna want to set it to 72. Not only did it increase my frame performance during the lows by about 10 frames, it really helps bring out the beautiful depth of field, also anti aliasing effects seems much stronger and smoother. It takes some getting used to, but has been worth it for PVE content. PVP will cause some disadvantages but I don't care too much, I only play gambit and PVE. Second tweak was AIM SMOOTHING set to on. Just for kicks I tried using a controller for a while, and I noticed all the stuttering while looking around disappeared, so that got me to thinking about the smoothing settings. Combined with the FOV change this seems to have removed my micro-stutters in all areas. Now, I know that competitive PC gamers are all about raw peripheral inputs--- but HEY its destiny were talking about, its a console game. To be clear, my framerate is still unpredictable and drops into the low 70s regardless of settings, but with these 2 changes my experience feels multitudes better, and smoother. SO since I have no control over my frames, I said F*** it, and cranked everything up to ultra and it looks amazing. Even the low FPS counts feel smoother than the stuttering highs I had before. I hope this helps ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Specs: Alienware Aurora R6 Intel i7 7700 3.60GHz Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 8gb VRAM 16gb DDR4 RAM I have rolled back drivers, disabled full screen optimizations, disabled core parking, disabled game mode options on windows 10, changed mouse polling rate, disabled hyperthreading, tried different server, cvars deleted, scan and repair, NOTHING changes.
