Smoooooooooooooooth- stutter is gone!

I didn't play for long last night, but it does seem to be a lot better for me. Prior to the patch it was getting to the point of being unplayable.
It is not completely gone, it is still there, but feels more like it was prior to 1.3. Haven't noticed any NPCs 'jumping' around back and forth in SC either, although there were increased delays on CZ spawning when arriving. Friend was in the instance before me and nothing spawned until a good minute later when I arrived (and still took a few seconds longer than normal to appear for me). Would love these to be already in action when I arrive as it does break the immersion but I am going off topic.
Data transfers between the server also seem to be smaller on average, but need more time to test out more.

That's why Fallout has no trees.
S... s... s... sneaky!

Btw, mine (micro)stutters happily away. Since 1.3.05. I'll try and force-disable shader precache tonight, see what happens.
Once in open, twice in solo. In open I saw two other commanders, and other than their ship hitching once, smooth as silk. In solo, Leslie Phillips smooth, much, much better than before in solo. Hyperspace, dropping out, stations, SC, just works. Before I would have Elite freeze for seconds at a time, and massive fps loss.
I hope as many people as possible experience this, it sounds crazy but the game is just amazing when it flows together.
My specs: Core 2 Extreme Q6850, 4gb ram, Win7, GTX 460 1gb vram, 750gb mechanical drive

Great......really great!
The stuttering is worse than before for me. -.-
Sometimes the performance is back to 1.2 (which means much better in terms of stuttering) for a minute, but this is a rare exception.
It's really annoying as hell! I have started considering to stop playing ED. I have also lost nearly all faith but I have troubles to believe that it's somehow so hard to fix this issue.

What spec do you have? I think i have a really good rig but it still stutters as hell...

I'm also one of those who never had stutter before 1.3, got it then and now its gone again.
Must be hell to figure out what is all causing stuttering, always when its fixed for some it gets worse for others. Thank god thats not my Job ^^

Alright, reporting back. I've done as stated above and the near-planet lag is gone. I mean it's literally non-existent! Edit: visited 6 systems, 8 planets, 2 entries into 1 RES. No lag. At all.

The bad news is, the game is still microstuttering for me. It's not as bad - no, no placebo here, honestly, it isn't as bad - or frequent as it was before the appconfig.xml change, but it's still there.

And I got finally interdicted by an Elite Anaconda

Today was a good day.

A smartphone powered by a potato would out-perform my Q6600/HD6970, so I doubt it's got anything to do with raw performance. Especially since my framerate hasn't really changed - it has improved since release but obviously I'll never get above my current 40 average fps - but most of the stuttering in SC and around planets is gone.

Happy you! If that's true, all you need to do is have recording switched on permanently!
(And should stutter come back anyway, then at least you'll have a recording.)

No HDD space for such feats. But FDEV could implement something FRAPS does when recording, to make the graphics smooth.
I tried various ingame and Nvidia control panel Vsync & frame limiter settings. For now, smoothest experience (least microstutters) seems to be ingame framelimiter & Vsync OFF, Nvidia Adaptive Vsync ON (not the half framerate version).
Have you tried using the loop buffer in fraps to solve your issue? So you're sort of recording, but not really until you press record for proper and it adds on the loop buffer at the start. If you use loop buffer but don't start proper recording it may still be running the stuff that fixes your stutter.
Weird "fix" by the way - using an app that you'd think would add an overhead.
