I was getting incredible stuttering, massive framerate drop. It began about a week or two ago. It would randomly happen about 2 times per match. I updated drivers and that solved it, but I can see that it still wants to do it. There must have been some kind of update recently that changed something.
I always have my fps capped at roughly 60 and the game always ran well until the update unfortunately.
I would just get this 15-30 second period where when I move my mouse, the entire framerate drops to like 2-10 fps. If I start wildly moving my mouse it just has 0 frames and the image is still. If i dont move my mouse at all, its a choppy 20-30 FPS.
I’ve deleted my registry files and tried uninstalling and all but nothing seems to work, all my other games are completely fine as well.
I’ve had the same issue since the last two updates. I would get a stable 180 fps with max movie graphic settings but then I’d experience these dips to approx. 5 fps every 10 seconds.
My specs are:
RTX 2070 Super
AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
32GB 3600mhz corsair vengeance pro
850w
etc…
Yesterday I read, “Go to Windows power plan settings and disable USB selective suspend in advanced options.” - Ishaar For many people, this was the issue, although it didn’t change anything for me and a load of other people. Yet I left it like that just to be sure.
Today I figured I’d check if I had put my ram in correctly. Turns out my younger self was a tad bit more stupid than I am now. I had bought two two-packs of RAM, identical to the eye but with a different serial number. I had accidentally put the ones with the same serial number next to each other. Due to this, I would only get a 2133mhz frequency but after this, I could get the advertised 3600mhz. This completely solved the issue for me. (Change the frequency in your motherboard bios). No more stuttering. In conclusion, check that your RAM is set at its highest advertised frequency, and also consider disabling USB selective suspend in advanced options.
(If you want to check that it’s running at the frequency you set, open Windows command prompt and type “wmic memorychip get speed” and it will show you the frequency in mhz).
And you know jackshit about anything i guess? Many games have had problems with checking usb devices over and over again for any HID device for example and causing framedrops. But nuh uh usb ports have nothing to do with framerate. Educate yourself.
Off the top of my head. FFXIII would like to disagree with your statement. Actually i agree with mostly caused by software and hardware issues because the BIOS is software. Mobo might be hardware but its still the code causing the issues.
Specially the issue you are talking about is mostly present in old games. Most modern games dont have this issue. In some rare cases some new games might have it but WT surely doesnt have this problem.
I betcha i can get warthunder to spazz out by disabling and reenabling HID devices with a script in quick succession. Not normal use case of course but i think warthunder doesnt do the checks properly. Ill report back with a vid if I can get it to lag and with a dissappointed message if i cant.
Seems like WT/Dagor engine doesnt have this issue I can flood HID connects and disconnects it will pop up the ingame “do you have a controller connected” or whatever screen ALOT but it doesnt lag it even ingame. Also it supports an impressive number of actual input devices too which is cool and i didnt know.
But I have seen a issue when I unplug my power cable from my laptop. It freezes the inputs and causes extreme static noises for a few seconds. During that time frame rate falls to half but it rises again when it gets to normal. This mostly happens in WT but it happens in other games as well. I guess its a issue of my laptop.
It probably has something to do with static electricity.
I dont think Windows power settings change can cause static noises, however it can cause massive frame dips.
Sometimes even when my laptop is plugged in the controls freeze for a few seconds and the static noises can be heard. Also the ping and packet loss becomes really high whenever this happens.
Ah I didnt read the part where it makes actual static noises that you can hear. Thats worrisome to a degree if im honest. Do you hear the static noises from the speakers/headphones or from the laptop itself. Edit, if its from the laptop itself and you have a mechanical drive it might be causing it had a similiar issue in the past.
turns out any single core process that took over 20 percent of usage would do the same. It happened to me with Autodesk Maya and Adobe Photoshop. Adobe Substance straight up won’t open. I had to get a new drive and install windows from scratch, now everything runs smoothly.
