game stuttering for the past several months. please help

[wanton burrow]

i’ve tried everything. uninstalling and reinstalling, verifying game cache, i have islc installed and running, i have hardware acceleration turned on for dying light 2, i have tried adjusting settings in game and can’t get anything to work past medium. i don’t know what caused this, and it’s been happening since roughly summer of last year, i believe, or even earlier. it’s completely turned me off of playing the game. i have a laptop, running an nvidia rtx 3080, intel core i7 11th gen, 16 gb of ram. please help

seems like you're doing the right things

have you tried going to the 3d settings for dl2 in the invidia control panel and setting 'max framerate' to off?

Maybe forcing the game to always use your 3080?

I don't wish to burst your bubble, but laptop gpus are not the same as desktop gpus

For example, your 3080 is the equivalent of a 1080ti desktop, and when I was running a 1080ti on DL2, it would stutter if anything was set beyond medium textures as well.

🤷‍♂️

man,, that seriously sucks. i actually had no idea, because other games would run very well on max settings, like codmw2 and days gone.

I had the same issue with my 1080ti. I can only run the game on medium textures and stuff, otherwise it would start being choppy

the problem is that the more you run around, the choppier it gets over time. For example, high textures in the intro is fine, but in the city, terrible.

You can try using this software called ISLC (intelligent standby list cleaner) to at least clear the ram so it stutters less and you dont ahve to restart the game every 30 minutes

but still at medium 😦

i have 48gb of ram and a 4070ti and it runs fine, kinda (depending on the area) with everything on max

but it's still not super great tbh

[wanton burrow]

man,, im really sorry to hear that :(

sounds like its just not up to snuff in terms of optimization

cuz other high-demand games run perfectly fine on max settings.

i have islc running already, but it isnt doing much

what does seem to work, however, are upscalers on performance mode

ughh,, it’s not working either

i double checked, every single preset gives me lag spikes

it’s like a memory leak issue, but only from the game

if anyone could please help me, please let me know,, there’s only stable-looking frames on very low settings; it starts giving me lag spikes as soon as i go any higher than “low quality”

i don’t remember it running like this before

Do you use an ssd for the game ?

[wintry cradle]

it's a game issue. Only way to fix it is to get a better GPU. For example on a 1080ti I could run it on medium and the stutter was negligible with ISLC, but on 4070ti i can run it all maxed out, but have to use 'Frame Generation', "DLSS performance" and set LOD to 100 🙈

The game has a memory leak anyway, I have 48GB of ram and it eats thru it like nothing. Thank god ISLC is clearing that every time tho.

They aren't acknowledging that this problem exists, for some reason.

[wanton burrow]

man,, that seriously sucks

i probably wont be able to play the game until i scrounge up enough money for a proper pc, then

[wintry cradle]

or until techland decides to fix their bugs

you'll likely be able to afford a new gpu before that happens tho

[winter siren]

Still the same question. Do you use an ssd ?

Because loading in textures is dependant on the speed of your hard-drive. You can have the best graphicscard in the world. If your drive is not able to feed it fast enough then you have stuttering. Stuttering is a loading problem.

[wanton burrow]

yeah, i have it installed on an ssd

[winter siren]

K just to make sure

i did nearly a week ago and i haven't received a response

wait nvm, just got it today

LOL

But hard drives aren't as slow on average anymore, they do be getting faster now a days, tried putting dl 2 on a hard drive and it works fine. Read speed of that hdd is around 255 mb, and that is still slower then some drives I have seen being sold, so idk if hdds would cause issues anymore, probably still depends from game to game.

[winter siren]

You are most certainly right but not everyone has a modern hdd

[steady hare]

Oh yeah that's true someone may be using an hdd that predates dl 1 even, just wanted to get that out there so some poor sod with proper hdd doesnt read this thread and wastes his time reinstalling only to find out his hdd is perfectly fine for the game and the issue lies somewhere else.

[wanton burrow]

yeah, my hdd is extremely fast :(

[wanton burrow]

I HAVE FINALLY.

FIXED THIS GODDAMN PROBLEM

AND I FEEL LIKE A GODDAMN GENIUS EVEN THO ALL I HAD TO DO WAS ONE SIMPLE THING

MY CPU WASNT PULLING THE WEIGHT IT'S SUPPOSED TO AS AN INTEL I7 SO ALL I HAD TO DO WAS TWEAK GEFORCE SETTINGS TO MAKE SURE IT WAS OVERCLOCKED

AND IM GETTING 57~ FRAMES MIN ON MAX SETTINGS
