How bad is the stuttering?
Like once every few minutes while walking into a new area? Or constantly like in the middle of a fight.
I put it on my M.2 and I haven't seen any stuttering at all; and I'm even playing with an unsupported GPU (1660 Super). This is by far the smoothest a Bethesda game has ever been at launch for me, and I've been a fan since the release of Morrowind.
Same! Installed on am m.2, playing on a 1080ti, best launch experience since Morrowind for sure. I’ve had a few crashes here and there but for the most part it’s very solid for Bethesda
I've noticed something going on but it doesn't really bother me. My fps might drop from like 50 down to 30ish for a second here and there. Nothing that interferes with playing the game. Article says it's during traversal, specifically, so when you're running from one place to another, not in the middle of a fight.
I get it on load in to cities, specifically Akila. On console too, which seemed decently well insulated to the GPU bugs. It's for maybe two seconds. Compared to other games I play, two seconds of frame drops from 30 fps to 21 fps is negligible so I don't really care. I'm just sprinting to a quest marker anyway, I'm not missing anything.
I never noticed stuttering in Akila, but man did that first mission with Sam there CTD'd like a mother fucker. I had more crashes in that one mission than playing the rest of the game so far.
@Unaware7013
I had problems, too, in that mission - but i was copying lots of files in the background, so i thaught that's the issue.
@ylai @amenotef @SwampYankee @CMLVII've been pretty insulated from bugs so far, so I may just be lucky. On console; I've had one crash and maybe 4-5 instances of freezing for like ~5 seconds, then resuming without issue. Only "bug" I'd say is once Andreja went stealth, then her head stayed stealth but the rest of her didn't. Dismissing and reacquiring her as a follower fixed it; no restart or anything.
The CTDs are an issue with my system (only running R5 2k6 and rx570), but thankfully I haven't experienced the stutter issues yet
That's tough. Hopefully that gets resolved for you soon
It's non-existent with a WD SN850X NVME. No issues whatsoever for me.
I have ~3 seconds freeze every weapon change, 0.5 seconds freeze every shotgun shot.
Have you tried increasing the power to your potato?
i5-9600K @ 3080ti
That's pretty egregious on that rig. I'm on i7-9700K, 3080, 48gb RAM, and an NVME SSD, no issues that I've spotted in 12hrs or so on high settings.
That's terrible lol
