Re: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order | January 15th Patch Notes

@jimmarshall 

Thank you for playing the game and coming to chat to us about it!

@rikemomo 

Thanks for uploading the video. But jeez, that's some really bad stuttering you have there. I'm sorry to see that, and I understand it's not fun playing the game like that. 

Since you experienced similar stuttering in another title (Steep), I do have a suspicion it might be caused by something on your system. Definitely not by the specs, but I'm thinking more about settings, such as:

• Is your system overclocked? If so, have you tried lowering the OC?
• Is your system perhaps overheating?
• Have you tried closing all background programs? I've seen similar stuttering happen due certain applications such as motherboard or overclocking software

I already read in the other thread that you're on an SSD. So that can't be it either. Still, could you upload a dxdiag so I have some additional info about your system?

Hi there!

So, after going back to an old NVIDIA driver and seeing my major slow down still happening, I realized that it was not only slowing down...but I kept moving in a specific direction, even though I wasn't pressing anything. This lead me to believe it was something with the source of that signal--my wireless XBox controller. So, I changed the batteries in the controller....and so far, it's not happening. My own dumb fault for not thinking of that first.

I will see if this keeps happening but I think that was the issue.

Thanks for your help--and patience!

best,

mike

There is a different stuttering issue, which i am 100 % sure, applies to everyone, SSD or not, octacore or quad core, doesn't matter. 
These stutters occur when the game loads in new assets, and usually post no problem to the gameplay. 
Sometimes however you pass these transition area's during a fight and it is pretty annoying. 

The game will here drop a couple of frames to like 300 ms...
Like i said, usually it happens only when travelling, but sometimes it can happen during combat because the load transition marker is in the wrong place, or whatever they call it inhouse.

@rikemomo 

Great news! That was definitely a weird one, so good to hear you figured it out. If you come across any new issues, definitely hit us up via a comment on these forums.

Hey Unwary!

1. Yes, that's all the premium content.
2. There is a Tundra Mantis skin, but it was exclusive to certain retailers. There's currently no other way to get it
3. Yep!

@Vendrean 

For rikemomo it appears that the batteries in his controller were causing the stuttering. Could that be the same for you?

I'll also take a look at your Bug Report shortly to see if I can figure out what's happening based on that.

Thanks for the additional details!
