I hopped into Saint Denis and walked around and within ten seconds my game had already started stuttering like mad. I quit out, changed that line in the xml file, loaded back into the same exact scene and my frame times were smooth!
Mind sharing your settings? I have a 1070 Ti and a i5 8400 and I'm getting around 45ish FPS with a mix of high/med settings.
Turn on vsync in the graphics options.
It's the same thing as far as I know.
Whoa, that's messed up. Are you sure you don't have those pics reversed? And if that's really the case, is it a sliding scale where each higher level of the Geometry LOD setting removes more and more objects in the distance? Or is it only the highest setting that is bugged, in which case the best visuals will be the second highest setting?Also Geometry Level of Detail is broken. Highest setting actually removes objects from distance (maybe for accuracy?). Looks worse while performance worse.
Highest setting:
Second lowest setting:
There was a mix up in those pictures between the lowest and second lowest, but it is correct now. No, unfortunatley not. See the fps left. 56fps on highest, 59 on lowest with more details. Each higher setting reduces the quality.
For some reason, you need to enable vsync in-game for vrr to work under vulkan. I asked about why this was the case some pages back but got no response so I guess no one knows why. Maybe it's a vulkan thing?
Yes.
Played for 6 hours and had that only once, and as soon as it started my game crashed within 2-3 seconds
Thanks! I did try lowering the resolution to 0.85ish but it looks kinda rough, I gain around 5 FPS but rather not lose definition.
Not that, but I could swear that some cinematics, the dialogue audio is like a half second too early, playing before the characters' mouths move
I'm going to try this, cheersI maybe found something:
There is a <asyncComputeEnabled value="false" /> line in the settings.xml
I've changed the false into true and the Vulkan stuttering is gone. GPU utilization is down by ~4-5%. Performance is pretty similar though...
No idea what this setting really does, I thought async compute was always "on" in this game.
Maybe the stuttering is gone because of the lower GPU utilization? I don't know.
I haven't tried this for long, but maybe give it a try yourself.
Yeah, I wonder how they are going to fix this for the Steam version. Currently, the only way to succesfully launch RDR2 is via the RGL, which passes hidden commandline arguments to the actual executable (they are listed in launch as @commandline.txt, but that's either a hidden file, or just in-memory - it's nowhere on my disk). This stops me from using the game for in-home streaming, since launching it directly is not an option, and adding the RGL to Steam as a non-steam-game, and launching the game from there crashes. (because of the streaming? Because it detects RGL has Steam as a parent application? I don't know.)
Didn't work for me :(I maybe found something:

Not at all. GPU usage being at or neat 100% isn't just normal, it's by design. If you're not hitting 100%, it means either the game isn't utilizing your hardware to the fullest (Evil Within 2) or your GPU is bottlenecked by your CPU.
I guess my reasoning was for gpu heating up if its very high usage. I remember having that issue with 780ti.
