Title: The stutter issue.
Post by: hitech on July 30, 2015, 04:32:47 PM
For those of you who have stutters. Do they go away when you turn ground clutter off?

It is not as obvious, but it is still there.

No, enabled/disabled still experiencing stutters.

Not completely. Fr mid 30's and a roll looks like a 57 point turn.

I have very minor stutters at low alt, but they disappear when ground clutter is turned off.

No. Still stutters at 60 fps with clutter off.

Yes, the stutters go away with ground clutter off and return when it's enabled again.

I can see the stutters below 300 which also means rolling on the runway goes in leaps or steps. The feeling is like driving a car on a German Autobahn based on concrete slabs: Although the joint isn't visible through the tarmac, the bump can still be felt. A train fare on non-welded rails describes it also quite well.

But yes, for me it's the ground clutter.

I took another look and stutters seem to start about 700 ft above ground over terrain. They went away with clutter off in flight except when I was over a large airfield, then I still had stutters .

Set all graphics to max quality and upped the fps with vsync on to bog down computer. Turning ground clutter off helps a lot but does not eliminate the stutters.

Stutters for me are worst on the ground in gv and planes and decrease in severity with altitude up to a few hundred feet where it stabilizes but still occurs.

When I adjust graphics until max fps can be maintained during online game play with vsync on, it's smooth as glass.

I just equated the stutter to my system not being able to keep up. AH2 stutters similarly for me with my older computer running HD7750.

Yes, turning off ground clutter stops stutter issue.

The stutter disappeared once Ive updated my video card drivers from 14.2 omega to the 15.7...

Not an expert, but it makes sense to me if your video card GPU is topped out (99%), wouldn't that cause a stutter? Am I wrong?

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot to update my dxdiag. I just switched to the 15.7 drivers a few days ago before retesting the stutter.

Stutter continues in GV's no matter what I do with settings.  :headscratch:

Stutters are very pronounced during turning of the GV.

Stutter is still there.  Turning off ground clutter seems to lessen it somewhat.  Clipboard on screen also helps.  Turning up the anti-aliasing makes it worse.

Current settings are Anti-aliasing off - ground clutter in flight off - if a take off looks stuttery I bring up the clipboard.

Made, ah films will not show stutters or frame rate issues.

Thanks.

OK, I figured it was a method but oops.....................

I did have the fps and vid mem counter active, also brought up options and enabled/disabled ground clutter to get counter to change......

Hedge hopping in a 262 with no issues. running an i7-4770 w/ gtx 770, though.

Capture the Flag arena:

Patch 69 recommended graphic settings for system and game while flying 262 at tree top level near A1 looking out side.

Stutter is still there but small in amplitude. FPS = 66-90 (seems to depend on how dense the trees are)

When extending out over the water at tree top level no stuttering. FPS = 229

Changed video card and no more stutters, with or without clutter.  Maybe a driver issue?
