Weird movement lag
Hey all - hopefully this is the right place to post, but ever since the recent update (for the Crystals pack) I am experiencing some kind of freezing 2 miliseconds lag when i am moving my camera and just when my Sims are moving, like their movement has spikes and then my camera too. I never had this before and I normally play on custom high settings. Weird thing is, no matter what graphics settings I choose, it still happens, almost as if it has nothing to do with graphics settings - I set it to low, medium high, custom, even went into Nvidia and changed settings there, and it still happens just the same, also mods, no mods, doesn't matter.
Funnily enough, I have the same issue with Disney Dreamlight Valley (not asking for support on this obviously, just comparing, I reported to the devs on appropriate platform) after their new update (which was a day earlier) and no setting changes the problem and I play on Ultra with no issues normally.
Could it be something with the game(s) or perhaps with actual Nvidia drivers? It is fully updated, so I have no idea what else it could be. MSI, i7 11th gen, Nvidia RTX 3060, 16GB RAM., 1 TB SSD.
@EeveeTinn While testing, please always have your laptop plugged in and charging, to avoid any power-saving features interfering with game performance. Please try disabling Game Mode and Game Bar, both under Windows Settings > Gaming.
If that doesn't help, you can experiment with the in-game settings. Toggle between windowed and fullscreen modes, and turn vertical sync on and off in fullscreen. Please test each mode that you haven't already, first changing the setting and then restarting the game—sometimes a restart is necessary to see the full effects. Please also double-check that the in-game resolution is set to 1920x1080 while in fullscreen mode.
If none of these settings makes a difference, please lower your laptop screen's refresh rate to the highest setting below its current 144 Hz. That might be 120 or 100, or perhaps even lower, but it doesn't matter; the point is to run at below 144 Hz. The option is under Settings > System > Display > Advanced. Keep the current 1920x1080 resolution though. Restart your computer and repeat the above tests.
While testing, please remove the Mods folder from your Sims 4 folder if you've added back your mods. This is always best practice while troubleshooting, and in this case, it will also save you some time waiting for the game to load. You don't need to save your progress.
