Possible cause of stuttering in 2.1

[Ghostrider142]

Here is a video of me flying two short flights in Normandy, same settings in both (I show my settings at start of video), these are the recommended settings per developer post: MSAA and Anisotropic off if you are running deferred shading.

 

Now I always had these maxed before no problems and I don't like the way it looks without them, but for this test it is how I set it.

 

First flight is just one A-10A on the map, nothing else. It runs fairly smooth, frames are decent, thought they still jump quite a bit, but visually it is very playable. You will see the FPS in the top left corner on both flights.

 

Second flight I take off in the same A-10A, same runway, but this is a mission I made last night, it has about a dozen ships, no other aircraft except 2 KA-50s, there are several infantry platoons and some tanks and APCs and some trigger zones for the amphibious landings. All units are modern.

 

You can see the difference in the performance. The same thing happens in NTTR since the update, though there I can even run Constant Peg II mission and get frames over 100 with these settings, but if I run a mission I made about the same size as this one, I get the stutter.

 

So question being, is the presence of user placed ground units and AI air doing this?

 

Has anyone else experienced this difference?

 

Hope this is of some use to the dev team at the least.

 

PS The video is unlisted, I'm not showing off alpha bugs to public searches on YouTube :thumbup:

Thanks for the heads up, I did post there earlier this week, those guys are running 1080 and I'm 1440. I was maxed at 1440 prior to the update with no problems, I've come way down on my settings and still getting tripped up in Normandy.

 

I did try his settings, though not the most recent ones. Played a mission in NTTR last night and it ran much better with the same settings I have in my video, Normandy is still stuttering really bad.

 

I'm about to try his most recent settings tonight, for lack of anything else I can think of. Probably will need the next big update to sort it all out.
