This should be called Stutterborn

Seriously. No other game stutters as much as this. Initially I thought it was because of the autodetect setting being too high, but the stutter persists (gets much worse, even) even after setting everything to low (sans framerate limit, I left that at uncapped). The CTT was running velvet smooth, and since then I’ve added 4 gigs of RAM to my machine - I don’t know what you did to the game, but it’s unplayable.

Moved to the bug report section.

I have the same issue.

Game starts stutering like crazy after ten minutes.
I have a gtx980Ti and a 2600K running at 4,2 ghz and 8 gigs of ram.
The game is running from a SSD.
Changing resolution and or lowering settings does not change a thing.

I have the latest nvidia drivers installed.
Running win 10 and playing the steam version

I really don’t get it - the Closed Beta played VERY smoothly, and this “stuttering” simply CANNOT be on “my end” with my monster rig.

I also tried turning everything down to the lowest possible graphical settings, tested various FPS caps, Windowed Mode vs. Fullscreen, etc. and there are ZERO changes to the stuttering, so it’s not something on my end…

I have an AMD card, but even if it WAS the crappy* “Nvidia Gameworks” stuff, I would have seen changes when I lowered the settings (plus the same “physics effects” would run alright in previous Gearbox games for me, and Borderlands had liquid flow effects and stuff).

It seems like it gets worse when going into an “open” area of the map or entering a “boss arena”, but if it simply was a rendering fault, then lowering “view distance” to “low” should have had SOME visual effect…


FYI: All these observations are based on story mode - I do not like PVP.

Also, this is on the PC-Steam version if that wasn’t clear from the above statements.

*EDIT: Seriously? Curse censors on the forums for an M rated game where the characters themselves even curse? Cmon Gearbox…

i have zero stuttering, but my cpu temps are sky high.

Alright, the stutter seems to be a story-only issue, so I’m guessing the game is pooping its pants trying to control all that AI mobs running around the map onscreen. PvP has no stutter. Their coding needs some tweaks, since their behaviour is rather simplistic - kill whomever is closest to them.

Yeah, just played campaign, stuttering like crazy. Pvp, totally fine.

And i did notice that its worse when there are lots of ai on screen, im sprinting (especially with speed) and theres explosions. The fps drops super bad, even on ALL low settings.
