Every time I exit supercruise at a station, I notice a couple of these stutters / hiccups, particularly as I'm coming in to dock. It's really obvious when the station does the Max Headroom maneuver. It also seems pretty consistent after leaving hyperspace at a star, though I'm less bothered by it here.
Stuttering and hitching after updates
- Thread starter Old Duck
- Start date
Yeah, last night I dropped into a station with 3 other players there, and the police were all leaving zig-zag contrails and the station rotated backwards in time a couple of times. Very unnerving to bring a T-10 up to a quantum airlock that could actually exist at any and all given angles all at the same time.
The fatal flaw in your logic is that this never happened before the update and now it happens consistently regardless of players being instanced with me or not. Now if you're saying the update introduced a network-specific bug which in turn is causing this stutter, well okay, but there's nothing I can do to fix that on my end.
I noticed some of those things as well today when I was out doing wing-mining. Not sure if it is related to multiplayer; I havn't done any Solo mining yet.

Settings in Elite:
Fullscreen Borderless, 3440x1440, Refresh rate 100Hz, Vertical Sync OFF, Frame Rate Limit OFF
Qualty set to Ultra with a change to Supersampling set to 1.5 instead of default 1.0, other than that it is using the Ultra settings.
The slowdowns/hicups happened when I went to either the left or right panel. I did not see any slowdowns etc as long as I had a "forward view".

That's what I meant. Maybe they did some network changes (to fix the VPN issues) or the network might be strained because of the patch.

Are you saying this happens WHILE looking at side panels, or after? My station hiccups usually happen after I request docking, but this may just be coincidence of timing (I request as soon as I exit SC if in range).
Oh... I was unclear... the transition animation (camera move if you will) from "forward view" to "right view" (as an example) could get stuck for a second or two. Does that make more sense?
I should also add that, from a "forward" perspective, looking at the other two wing-mates, I did not see any slowdowns or weird behaviour in paths (no rubberbanding or any of that sort that can put me off a bit). There were plenty of limpets doing their thing and I never felt a slowdown while looking at them from cockpit view (didn't try camera suite things). The only slowdowns that I experienced, or at least noticed, were the transition camera move when going from "forward" to either "left" or "right" panels... several times when doing that, I thought... "game is crashing". But it didn't.
Hopefully that gives a much clearer picture of what I have encountered so far... ?

Been happening to me too since the "update"
I Disabled Most of the Specter & Meltdown O/S patches, this cured most stutters for all games.

That's one of the first things I did when I got this laptop, using Steve Gibson's tool. ED's new stuttering is game-related (specific to these September updates), not hardware related.
Seems to be running fine for me. I'm not anywhere near stations, NPCs, or other players though.

Yeah, my computer is getting long in the tooth (like 6 years since I upgraded it), but is still decent enough. Will probably be considered a higher end "retro" computer before too long.

I was getting this stuttering before today's patch.
