Really appreciate you chiming in Micheal, will give this a test tonight when I can log in. Side note: disabling the shader cache in Nvidia control panel and having the game cache the shaders made no difference so eager to try it the other way around.
Stutter Stutter Stutter since 1.3 - near stations, asteroids, and pretty much anything that has a model and collision

Thanks Michael, I will try this as soon as I am able.
Mostly ok but horrendous when docking or undocking in a station. Also get terrible input lag when docked and flicking through station services or the galaxy map. Combat is ok in both RES and CZ with multiple ships.
A single gtx780ti card should be more than enough depending on your resolution. Have you tried disabling one card?
The stutter got less with current patches. Nvidia GTX 760 2GB, in space steady 60fps, in stations about 30 to 40 fps.
With the current patch when I pass at a distance or overshoot a planet, there is not much stutter. But if I get close to the planet, the stutter is awful as always. Sometimes it happns even if there is no planet near, just some distant planets and orbit lines. Really pityful that Frontier can't get rid of this annoying issue with their engine or server.

The thing with me is:
In solo mode the stutter is near to nothing. In group or open mode however, stutter is substantial.
Which lead me to assume it has to do with packet exchange, not just graphics. And if that is the case, my dearest Gentlemen, it would be a completely different kettle of fish altogether; it is a killer since we are running a P2P engine and have to exchange infopackets between us.
How do you like this theory

Possible, but I don't think so, since I play in group mode all the time the stutters are very severe and frequent. And since the stutter is not a graphical issue, it's a load issue, whereas the client system literally stops all processing for a few ms up to 2-3 full seconds in some cases. It's like the client just simply stops getting info and then starts receiving again.
If this were a graphical issue then you would see a slow, sluggish response in your ship movement not an all out stop. Also the texture problems on the Sun's is also indicative of the process of drawing the sun texture, then for some reason starting all over again like info is lost then it start all over again. See here for the texture issue, Thanks to heartorhead for making this.

It's bad enough that entering and leaving a starport is an easy way to end up paying insurance. Between the crazy hitching and stuttering, and the random thruster control malfunctions that slam you into the walls, it's a wonder I haven't killed the ship yet.
Definitely broke some things somewhere.

With that edit, do we remove the other parameters and change the 1 to 0, or just change ShaderWarmingEnabled to 0 and leave the rest?

Code:
<PlanetNoiseTextures
Enabled="1"
ShaderWarmingEnabled="1"
ShaderWarmingDialogAnimTimeInMs="600"
/>If it was a load issue, I would have it just as much in solo mode as in group and open. But I do not.
Yea understand maybe switch load with process, because it is an all out stop makes me think of loading and it just feels that way, and why is it so selective on who gets affected?

Thanks Roybe,, tried this as well, no help here.
Hi Michael.
If anything it is worse on my PC after making this change but my GPU (GTX 750 Ti) has stopped running constantly at 98% and it now fluctuates as it did pre 1.3 plus it is running a good 8 degrees cooler (I guess due to the drop in GPU usage)
Hi Michael, tested this out just now and no difference to overall stutter, and a significant increase to stutter around stations turned from micro stutter into major stutter all out pause for .5 to 1 second. Setting it back to 1 for now.
Regards,
Arjin
Tried that edit, no noticeable reduction in the hitching and stuttering at stations.
Docking and undocking have become something of a chore. I have to go ridiculously slow going in and out to avoid slamming into structures when the game starts acting up.
I had absolutely zero issues with this before 1.3.

If you're running into stutter while your GPU is spitting out high frame rates with ease, you've most likely run into a CPU bottleneck (especially since there's nothing much to load from your HDD in Elite SC flight. Maybe FD optimized some GPU code, inadvertently affecting CPU load.
- I get stutter too since 1.3 - never before.
But its limited to SC, I guess I'm lucky - at least its smooth once I dropped to a station. I'd hate to be undocking with any kind of stutter going on.

Stuttering, for me, started way back last year during the premium beta. It's a shame it's still here and has been allowed to creep into consoles also. The Console crowd will not be as forgiving as the PC crowd when it comes to this, especially when the Xbox struggles to hit 30fps @ 720p.
Tried this and it didn't make a noticeable impact.
The worst offender is in station stutters, 1-2 seconds of sub 10 fps during which you can see the GFX cycling between low detail/high detail models and textures. After this passes FPS goes back to 60fps, this cycle then repeats every 20-30 seconds and if you are going through the slot at the time you risk crashing.
I'm running tri SLI'ed 780 GTX's in surround, if I downgrade to 1 screen the lags are still present but the raw horse power minimizes the effects to a large degree but you can still see it happening. Suns/planets show a similar issue but to a lesser degree.
