Just got this response from my ticket:

Hi,

If the issue is still happening in Release 1.02 which was released recently, please log a fresh ticket in the new ticket system which we have recently migrated to.

Thanks,
Customer Support

I haven't seen anything change since this was introduced around beta 2, how about everyone else?

What kind of stuttering you are experiencing?

I have 1-3 sec long freezes when the game is loading/preparing planets... but not with every planet. And not every time.
If that can be called as stuttering.

Gpu usage drops to 0 when this happens.

I've noticed that planets now appear much later now than in the beta, when closing in to them... The shaders and other effects load in phases... But the stutter/freeze still comes roughly at the point where the planets used to switch from a dot to a textured object... which is much earlier than where the planets now appear.

Stuttering when approaching planets in SC.

It's not as bad as the 1+ full second freezes in beta 2, but it's still there.

I'm running an i7 3.2 Ghz and gtx 780ti on an SSD.

Still get stuttering approaching planets etc. in supercruise. I hope they don't think they've fixed it?!

I'll raise (another) ticket... *sigh*

I have stuttering but It can be removed by reducing graphic settings to "low" on my rig

CPU: AMD Piledriver FX-6 Six Core 6300 Black Edition 3.50Ghz
GPU: SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 270 Dual-X OC 2GB GDDR5
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz Dual Channel
SSD: SanDisk X110 SATA 6Gb/s 2.5" 128GB

Runs on Ultra with v-sync on fine at 60FPS but stutters when jumping in and occasionally freezes for a few seconds when entering new solar system.

It's still prevalent, but I'd say it's better than it was in Gamma, I get the odd stutter on approach to some systems (usually ringed gas giants) but overall it's more bearable.

Still needs addressing though.

I did a test with solo V's open play and my results are as follows:

Graphics settings: Ultra
Solo Stutter: Yes
Open Stutter: Yes

Graphics settings: High
Solo Stutter: Yes (noticeably better)
Open Stutter: Yes

Graphics Settings: Medium
Solo Stutter: No
Open Stutter: Yes

The same results for Medium as for low.

Conclusion: Problem seems to be a mix of graphical hardware and lag between machines.

stuttering was completely fine for me on release until 1.03 - i've noticed it's now as bad as the early beta versions, not sure what's gone wrong....

I've got a low end GPU for now anyway, (GT 740 Super Clocked) and I get no stuttering. I mainly play in Group Mode but I tested this in Open Play as well. I don't know if this is to do with the game improving optimisation or networking but I recently installed the Beta driver on GeForce Experience, which is ED game ready (it 'sees' ED after you scan the PC for games and then the option to optimise for ED is in the GeForce menu)

I used to get a lot of stutter, particularly in Beta 3, but noticed it improve a lot during Gamma.

My Mobo is Asus Z87K and CPU is i5 4660 @ 3.2 GHz.

Timing of this poll is problematic.
I voted 'got better' because it genuinely was better until 1.02, but with 1.03 it got worse again.
Still, it's way more playable than in the betas.

Did you quit the game between open and solo test?
I mean, I've noticed that some planets cause the stutter only at first time when they are loaded, it's possible that they stay in memory for a while or until you quit the game.

Like this one system I used to trade with, a gas giant with 4 icy moons which each cause the freeze for me when I go to a station orbiting one of them.
Second time I come there, no freezes, third time still ok, but then suddenly they may cause the freezes again. I believe they were dropped from memory and had to be created again at that point.
No other players in that system.

Only stuttering i get is when jumping to other system. No stuttering near planets or in supercruise at all.
Been playing since 1.0
