I’ve been getting occasional and seemingly random bouts of micro stuttering. When it happens, the in-game FPS counter stays at 60, but it looks noticeably choppy. It eventually goes away on its own after several minutes, or by pausing and going into the video options, turning VSYNC off, unpausing, repausing, and turning VSYNC back on. This seems to fix it every time (until it starts happening again).
This has been happening since I first started trying the game (early August) and persists through today’s patch. I’ve only ever tried playing Solo CPU matches so far.
I’ve tried messing with the other video options, turning off Steam Overlay, and turning on “Prefer Maximum Performance” in the Nvidia settings, but it has made no difference.
I’ve attached my log file from my last session. It started micro stuttering somewhere during my first game. It was my Onimaru against DeGrey. I played a round or two with the stutter, then did the VSYNC toggle fix I mentioned. It was fine for a few games (against Lum, Rook, Valerie, and Valerie again), then it started micro stuttering right at the start of the Setsuki match. The stuttering persisted through the Setsuki match and though the following Geiger match. The stuttering ceased somewhere in the middle of the Grave match. After finishing the Grave match, I exited the game and wrote this post.
