Veilguard stuttering

Question

Hi all,I finally got around to purchasing&nbsp;Dragon Age: The Veilguard a week ago. It ran great at first, but then it started stuttering. I have to turn V sync on to stop the screen tearing, but that's not what's causing the stuttering.I have tried pretty much everything to stop it. I keep thinking I've done it, only to have the stuttering return. A few days ago, my CPU cooling system crapped out, and I had to get a new one, and the stuttering is now worse than it was before (the occurrences themselves aren't worse but they're happening more frequently now).Things I have tried:*Deleting shader cache*Increasing available space for shader cache*Adjusting every display / graphic option in the game (one by one)*Capping the frame rate to 60 fps*Disabling fullscreen optimizations*Running the Nexus Mods registry edit*Giving the game high priority*Switching to a high performance power plan*Uninstalling and reinstalling the game*Scanning for and fixing corrupt system files*Verifying game files via Steam*Updating my BIOS*Updating (and rolling back) my Nvidia graphics driversI have used MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner to determine that the CPU usage spikes just before a stutter and then everything drops. CPU and GPU temps stay stable or drop, so nothing is overheating.I've used LatencyMon to determine that some DirectX and Nvidia drivers are having the biggest DPC latency during the game, but not to the point of being red or yellow.The only thing I haven't tried yet is messing with the voltage or over/under-clocking my CPU. I don't want to go near that with a ten-foot pole!I've attached my Dx Diag file. Anyone got any other suggestions?(FYI: There are undoubtedly other things I've tried that I've forgotten to include in the above list.)I am loving this game otherwise and really want to play all the way through. So far I am persevering despite the stuttering, but it is taxing my patience.

Here's the report text from LatencyMon. I experienced three stuttering episodes while playing Veilguard while it was recording._________________________________________________________________________________________________________CONCLUSION_________________________________________________________________________________________________________Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. Also one or more ISR routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.&nbsp;LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for &nbsp;0:17:05 &nbsp;(h:mm:ss) on all processors._________________________________________________________________________________________________________SYSTEM INFORMATION_________________________________________________________________________________________________________Computer name: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;DURANDALOS version: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Windows 11, 10.0, version 2009, build: 26200 (x64)Hardware: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; X570GT, BIOSTAR GroupBIOS: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5.17CPU: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;AuthenticAMD AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor&nbsp;Logical processors: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 16Processor groups: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1Processor group size: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 16RAM: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;32708 MB total_________________________________________________________________________________________________________CPU SPEED_________________________________________________________________________________________________________Reported CPU speed (WMI): &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 360 MHzReported CPU speed (registry): &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3593 MHzNote: reported execution times may be calculated based on a fixed reported CPU speed.

I've also tried doing a clean boot in Windows. That didn't work either. So it's not some other process. It's the game itself.

The only other game I've ever experienced stuttering with was Assassin's Creed: Odyssey - and that was after hundreds of hours playing it just fine. Beat the game and was just running around doing post-game stuff. I think it started stuttering after a DirectX update. But every other game I've got on this PC runs just fine.

There are 0x141 VIDEO_ENGINE_TIMEOUT_DETECTED&nbsp; LiveKernelEvent errors in your DxDiag.&nbsp;This means that one of the video engines, most likely the graphics driver, stopped responding within a time frame determined by the OS. If this occurs, the OS terminates the driver and resets the GPU to prevent the system from becoming unresponsive or crashing.&nbsp;

&nbsp;Follow this manual to the letter to clean uninstall all NVIDIA graphic driver components.IMPORTANT: if you use a Pin to log into Windows 11 don't use DDU in safe mode!Use it in your normal Windows session.
Install the graphics driver &gt; Go online.
Test.

Thanks. I did try that previously, and it didn't work, but I'll give it another go.

holger1405​ Unfortunately, that didn't work. Here's a new dx diag file for reference.
