need some help with stutters/frameskips
happens about every 2-3 minutes I get a frameskip like this which makes basically any hard levels impossible (also most golden berries are practically impossible due to dying from the frameskip)
GPU: nvidia 3080
CPU: AMD ryzen 9 5900X
vsync is off and im running opengl beta branch on steam and the stutters happen on both modded (everest) and basegame
oh and ive also validated files through steam
should also mention ive tried running the game on no beta branch just the stable release version but it also has the exact same amount of stutters as far as I can tell

this is likely not celeste or everest's fault
i'd check if your graphics drivers are up to date
and also check your specs
cpu usage, memory usage, the usual

any recommendations on what software to use to check cpu usage simultaneously while playing?

..task manager
stark hollow
i havent had that be the case
stark hollow
you can make task manager always be on top in settings
but ofc windows loves to make ui changes everywhere so it depends if you have win10 or 11

I have 2 monitors so I can just have it on 2nd monitor

true haha
updating drivers first anyway but I havent really ever had an issue thats been resolved by driver update
I do update drivers fairly often though
stark hollow
how do you update drivers? because windows driver updates only update your time wasted on using windows driver updates
hollow kindle
I always update drivers through nvidia software
stark hollow

also the feeling is valid, though ive seen this help in some situations
and we know of one issue in olympus on AMD igpus
which is solved by updating drivers

yeah just seems to be kind of a general fix to a lot of possible minor issues
also I was wondering if the stutters could be caused by my game running at 61 fps for some reason
not sure if thats a steam display bug or not but afaik celeste is supposed to be capped at 60 fps
stark hollow
no, that's just an XNA quirk
hollow kindle
ah okay
stark hollow
switching to FNA fixes the quirk
some people got used to that XNA quirk though 
i don't know much about it other than that but i know popax had to deal with it

wait so it actually affects gameplay somehow then? or am I misunderstanding

-# the things you find out after staring at the game's code for hours on end lol
and doing extensive testing
hollow kindle
based on my cpu graphs it looks like core 5 might be peaking when the stutters happen or basically the stutters might happen cause the fifth core peaks
stark hollow
id be curious to see what a profiler would say to that
because i feel like it's something GC related
hollow kindle
god im about to go on such a rant hahaha
I have had so many games where im 99% sure its GC related issues
infamous minecraft java GC being horrible but also in osu for example
I would not be surprised at all if it was a GC related issue in celeste too
stark hollow
something's up with your pc i guess
hollow kindle
yup
stark hollow
stutters and stuff usually scream GC
