Please Fix The Microstuttering

[Bussard_x]

1. Are these microstutters in Multiplayer only? Or in Campaign too? Please check.

Multiplayer and campaign

 

2. Are these microstutters presented on populated servers only? Or you may note them on emply server too? Please check.

Populated

 

3. Are these microstutters differs from following video, or you have the same?

Yes, comparable but only when doing fast head movements

[ST_ami7b5]

Seems nobody is complaining anymore...

 

Oh well...

I'm shocked OP hasn't reacted yet...

1-They appear in MP and campaign.

2-in populated servers more, specially when airplanes around, they are much less in empty ones.

3-they are like in the video but much less..not so strong, but they are there.

(suggestion...display this in the main forum so more people will reply)

I use Sweet Fx..but that was not a problem before patch.

I cannot say I had no stutter in 1.008 but they were nothing like now.  I ran four tests, 2 online, 2 offline in QMB.  Flew a LaGG-3 in all tests, flew over approximately same area of map.

 

Online

1.Wings of Liberty - Ping 165, #Players 40

2. New Wings Wargrounds - Ping 63, #Players 1

 

Offline

1. No Clouds

2. Heavy  (Track from this flight)

 

Findings:  All flights were about the same.  If I fly without moving head position, everything seems fine, even if doing an aileron roll, very smooth.  However when turning head or zooming in I receive hesitations or jerkiness.

 

1. Are these microstutters in Multiplayer only? Or in Campaign too? Please check.  Both

2. Are these microstutters presented on populated servers only? Or you may note them on emply server too? Please check.  On both

3. Are these microstutters differs from following video, or you have the same?  Possibly different, not positive.

 

I have Tracks from all four sorties but this one contains all elements.  About two minutes long.

Really wish more folks would answer the request from Han.

[Leaf]

For me:

 

1.) Stutters in campaign and multiplayer, though much more pronounced in the latter

2.) Stutters seem to be independent of player population

3.) Very similar to the ones posted in the video

[303_Kwiatek]

Checked again and it confirmed my previously test.

 

 

1. Stuttering is only online.   Campaing and quick mission even with 16 planes is smooth like before.

 

2.  Empty servers is near not noticable ( very very occasionally).  Full servers stutters noticable ( before 1.09 was smooth).

 

3. Stutters are noticable occasiony during looking around ( micro pauses)   and flying close to ground ( turning)  it looks like ground ( objects) make tick-tack ( stop for a milisecond) -  freqently is one micropasue for w few seconds.

 

Multiplayer settings :  downloading 4Mb,  uploading 512 kb

[avlSteve]

Bizarrely, the performance is better than ever for me.  I used to get a micro-stutter at the landing threshold very often, but since the update, I'm smooth as silk on ultra.  No multiplayer yet, but hours of single missions and campaign.

 

Strange, I hope they can track this one down soon for those afflicted.

for nvidia user: open nvidia inspector end set at 2 in option maximum pre-rendered frame.

open cfg startup end set 58 in fps_limit for 60hz monitor, set 118 for 120hz monitor, save end test now

 

This worked wonders for me!  Didn't need inspector.  The "maximum pre-rendered frame" input is available in Nvidea control panel when you assign Il-2.exe to Program Settings tab.  I also set FXAA 2x and "Enhance the application setting" with AA Transparency to Multisample.

 

Changed startup.cfg to 58 value for fps_limit.

 

I have 50-60 fps in max'd Quick mission at 2560 X 1440.  Before this change I couldn't break 20fps no matter what I did.

 

Thanks!

 

No microstutters to report to Han yet.

MY stutters are online in populated servers not so bad in single player mission 8v8 , but they are there for sure . tonight fighting with 2v3 online bad stutters . 46 people online at the time .

Edited March 4, 2015 by II./JG77_Con

[VBF-12_Snake9]

1.  In multiplayer and in offline

2.  It gets worst as more people join multiplayer

3.  Yes it is much the same as the video. 

[System87]

1. Stuttering only in multy.

2. It gets worse when more pople are on the server, i get no stuttering if only 2-3 players or less are online

3. very similar to video.

Edited March 4, 2015 by EG14_System87

[kestrel79]

Yes what happens in the video is similar to what I have. I'm playing offline, only doing single missions, Yak takeoff. Nothing crazy. I did a similar test, went up high where I know I get smooth fps for sure and just kept rolling the plane and noticed the small stutters.

[=FI=Rambo]

1.  In multiplayer and in offline

2.  It gets worst as more people join multiplayer

[-TBC-AeroAce]

1) only really in mp, smooth on sp

 

2) only really when the direct area is populated with planes, hence the server can be full but if I'm away from players it's smooth

 

3) yes it's similar

 

 

Also I would like to say that I have noticed this slow down before if lots of people are in close proximity but it seems to have got a lot worse after the last update.

 

My system is Fx 8350, 8gb Ram, gtx 770 2gb. Just out of interest how would you ratey systems performance for this game?

[Hartigan]

1. Both but in quick mission i can run game just fine when flying alone shooting some trains etc. When mp or campaign my fps drops. MSI Afterburner shows that CPU/GPU usage are in limits (60% and 40-85%) 

2. Most fps drop happens when playing populated servers +40 players. Also ground attack objects and smoke in sight drops FPS in mp.

3. Same as in the video. However i´ve noticed that my GPU usage jumps to 95-100% when hanging in the game menu    And fan speed raises after couple of minutes. 

 

Edit : I use sweetfx but haven´t noticed any FPS loss when enable/disable

Microstutters online with full 48 server is really annoying - micropauses after every few seconds.

[SYN_Skydance]

I experience microstutters on SYN server tonight but only after flying for 30 mins. It was fine when I joined but there were only about 15 players on-line then. It was only when there were 30 players on-line that the microstutters started.

 

After coming off the server I tried SP for 20 mins and I did not have any microstutters.

 

FYI I'm not using SweetFX, NVidia Inspector or any other 3rd party software to improve graphics settings.

 

CPU i7 2600k @ 4GHz, GTX 780, 16GB RAM

[-TBC-AeroAce]

Ok I set to windowed mode. Did a speed test and set the traffic download to my speed divided by 4 and upload to 1.

 

I noticed an improvement in mp a whole lot less stuttering although it is there still.

 

BUT this was on the new ded normal 2, I used to play on ded normal so it could be server refinement????

[System87]

So is there any news concerning this problem? I stoped playing because of it.

[303_Kwiatek]

Waiting for new update.

[SR-F_Winger]

So is there any news concerning this problem? I stoped playing because of it.

So did I. Gamebreaker for Expert onlineplay. Fastfood works. But that gets old fast.

[Y-29.Silky]

I average over 50mbps, it's not the internet connections. It only happens for me in multiplayer, server capacity?

[System87]

Waiting for new update.

You mean new patch or what?

[303_Kwiatek]

Yep in new incoming patch there will be fix probably

[II./JG77_Manu*]

No, can't be the server. I have no problems what so ever, must be some bug in the code, which only affects some people.

[Urra]

1) Only in Multiplayer, smooth on single player.

2) Only really when the direct area is populated with AI or User planes, (server can be full but if I'm away from players it's smooth).

3) Yes it's similar.

 

Noticeable for me after last update.  Freezes occur a slightly quicker then in video, but essentially the same thing.

[Jack_Immondizia]

sorry, if I re-open this topic but I have still this stuttering problem, I've tried all for fix it without a really solution... I have 60 fps but stuttering is still here, especially  happens in multi when 5 or more plane near to me. This is a limit for me, I love this game, but i've abandoned it because of this problem... I'm still waiting for some patches that can definitely fix this problem, but so far it's still there, despite the continuous updates. I hope they haven't forgotten this.
