ieatchickens Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Hi, I bought the game yesterday and spent a lot of time trying to fix constant stuttering (regardless of the in-game settings, even the pathetic preset). Looked everywhere, tried everything and almost gave up but I just found a working combo that has completely eleminated the issue: In-Game settings: Max FPS: unlimited V-Sync: off Nvidia Control Panel: Low latency mode: Ultra - default is off. V-Sync: Fast Sync - regular and adaptive didn't work. Off should work too if you don't have fast sync in the options but the screen will tear. FPS limit: 150 - double the refresh rate of my monitor - for fast sync to work and to reduce the GPU usage. Threaded optimization: off - default is auto. I still had some stuttering with it set to auto. Turning it off solved the issue for some reason. Boom. No more stuttering, high preset. Tested the game for a few minutes in different biomes and there was only one very minor stutter when a new chunk was loading. The FPS graph is almost completely flat now, no huge spikes. I'm so happy, I can finally play this game without being annoyed every ten seconds. I hope it might be useful to someone.

Aledark Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Yea my settings are essentially very similar to this except i used to keep threaded optimization auto/on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelpyFknG Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 man, thank you so much for this. Every 10 goddamn seconds with a 4070 Super/13600K I was getting massive spikes and lagging out for 5-10 seconds. This looks like its solved the issue. Legend!!

Streetwind Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I think it's just called Radeon Software or Radeon Settings or something similar. But, it doesn't work the same way as the Nvidia Control Panel. Things are named differently, look differently, do different things. It has options that don't exist in the Nvidia Control Panel, and it doesn't have some options that the NCP offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StCatharines Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Thank you! This quick rundown just solved stuttering issues for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiche Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Bless your socks, this worked a charm. Never had Vintage Story run smoother in months. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwind Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 For those who fixed their stuttering with these options, it would be interesting to know if there was a single thing that had a major impact for you - or if it was a combination of small gains. If a single setting had a major impact, that would be a great point for investigation by the dev team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radfast Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 There can be interactions between VSync and G-Sync if your GPU & monitor support G-Sync Useful reading about this on reddit: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Böhler Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Thank you so much, this constant stuttering made the game unplayable. I hope the devs fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reicher_bene Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 Thanks for the tips! For me the solution was even more simple, so I thought it might be nice to share it here: I had a similar issue with lagspikes, where they would appear constantly every 5 seconds or so. After troubleshooting for a while, the problem was a wireless usb dongle for my keyboard - unplugged it and the lagspikes were gone! So make sure to check that option as well if you are encountering similiar behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
