Re: Getting MASSIVE stutter since patch

You might try resetting 3D Preferences in Catalyst.

Sounds a lot this maybe?

His FPS is solid like yours but still reports this stuttering.

His last post he thought it might be with his mouse?

I have witnessesness something similiar in two different situations and that was with Borderless and when SLI was forced on.

Not always do I notice it with SLI forced on.

Borderless I've only noticed on my nVIdia system, our AMD doesn't seem do the same thing.

I almost cannot explain how the "lag" or "stutter" feels in Borderless on the nVidia system.

Perhaps try messing with Borderless/Fullscreen; change to the opposite your currently trying.

  • Hi, thanks for the answer.

    Unfortunately, we are either suffering from different issues, or he described his poorly.

    I am positive it has nothing to do with my mouse (I have seen/suffered from input lag before and I can tell it's not that).

    Like I said, it feels like everything is going in slow motion, like a pause button was pressed and resumed from very rapidly (like 10 times per second). It basically makes the game about twice as slow as it should be (an easy way for me to tell is by jumping, it looks like my character is floating). I can also tell that some frames are being skipped, either through players warping around a bit, or bullets not hitting when they should (or completely disappearing).

    In multiplayer, I will see people warping around a bit, because they obviously move faster than what the game is showing me.

    If I can find an easy to cap video of it, I'll post a link.

    I don't use SLI as I only have one GPU.

    I used to play in fullscreen all the time and was not getting any issues. I'll still try to switch to borderless and see if anything appears different.
