Whatever, this board is full of smart asses, i'm in computer jobs since 13 years, go back to your fancy theories and refrain from posting disinformation on forums.

@Snargelfargen, i was talking to SirGlitch, he just can't admit i do not have issues so i must be a liar, fraud or make up stories.

Grade of C- for trolling. Would be a D were it not for the Utube video but you gain a letter there for trying to deflect the trolling attempt.

You need to work on your technique though as you become very obvious fairly quickly.

Guys what completely removed the micro stutter for me is to play the game in windowed mode. No worries there is a mod on the nexus already letting you play in fake fullscreen (borderless window or something along those lines). The micro stuttering happened mainly indoors for me, near light sources. Give it a shot guys it worked wonders for me!

I also fixed the loading stutter issue (tiny lag every 3-5 seconds while riding) by setting distant object detail to high instead of ultra. I didn't even see a difference by changing that..

The only thing I couldn't fix yet are the insane framedrops in cities, I'm running the game at around 60fps most of the time but in the big cities it will drop below 30 fps wich is almost gamebreaking for me. It looks like these drops are related to shadows wich not only look horrible but literally [censored] your CPU. I hope Bethesda will work on these framedrops they are insanely annoying as I love roaming around the cities.

This stutter only occurs (or is only noticable) when the framerate exceeds the refresh rate (with Vsync enabled).

The best solution is a frame limiter, I had trouble with the Antilag DLL so I use DXTORY (it has a limit FPS option in the advanced tab). There you can limit the FPS to 59 (or 30 if you desire).

DXTORY has a free trial version, if you get stuttering/input lag at high frame rates, do try it (make sure you get the latest version).

BTW whats also kinda funny, when I was searching for a way to fix the stuttering I noticed when you SIT down on a chair in an inn for example the stuttering is gone. As soon as you get up even though you stay in the same place it will stutter again it's really weird I wonder if the game is somehow being rendered differently while sitting.

Framelimiter didn't work for me but playing in windowed mode really solved it all for me..

I'm playing on a HD 6950 btw. so atleast for ATI it seems to work..

There is one on Nexus

I will check it out..

Playing with the borderless window mod enabled... pretty much fixed every stutter issue I've seen so far. And that includes the lighting stutter you see when in a building's interior.

I will also note that my performance across the board seems smoother and faster, and that I am running this alongside the FXAA Post-Process Injector mod to improve visual quality. I also have uGrids set to 7, mouse acceleration turned off, and have the 4gb (LAA) mod in use.

Ok I fixed it.

For some reason mouse acceleration was still enabled. There are two SkyrimPrefs.ini

One is in your main Skyrim dir and the other is in MyDocuments/MyGames/Skyrim. I believe that the one that governs what is set in game is the one in Mydoc. Once I disabled mouse acceleration there all stuttering disappeared

Small follow-up for anyone using the borderless window mod: it will disable Vsync (no way around that, it is how Windows works), and to try and avoid any problems that comes with, it is advisable you turn up your graphic options so that you stay at or near 60 fps. Going much over that (80+) can cause strange things with in-game physics and time, so avoid it if possible.

How come I have zero tearing and I'm locked at 60 Fps then?

If you are truly "locked" at 60 fps, then you are running full screen with Vsync enabled and at max frames. Windowed DX apps are by their very nature vsync disabled (unless a special dll is used). Also, you usually only get tearing when you exceed your normal refresh rate - under that tearing is much less noticeable.

I've tested both the anitlag patch and the borderless windowed mode mod for a while now. Both of them solve the stuttering, but I also noticed slightly better fps when using only the windowed mode mod.

That's exactly what's happening for me, I've always used the same settings and the game previously ran fine but now about 70 hours in - I'm getting this strange stuttering which seems to be related to moving the mouse in first-person, it's distracting.

The patch notes for 1.2 seemed a little slim, but I really hope this issue has been dealt with. : (

I don't use a special dll and I definatly DO NOT run the game fullscreen. If I turn off the vsync in the game I get horrible tearing (with and without the borderless window mod) but I dont get any with the borderless window.. The mod is like a fake fullscreen, once you start the game it will resize the window to your whole screen, no taskbar or borders visible but you can alt tab properly wich isn't possible in fullscreen mode.. I'm very picky when it come to tearing and I get alot when I disable vsync in several games besides that I can definatly feel the typical vsync mouse lag..

Btw with some games it even helps just to alt tab to fix stuttering, the witcher 2 comes to mind. I believe this is actually an issue wich affects only ATI cards..

Any news on whether this issue still exists with the 1.2 patch?

GTFO locked to 60FPS = V-sync enabled NOOB didn't you learn that already that you must disable it else you get these problems.

What is obvious here is people can't [censored] read, i never said FPS was tied to the stutter issue, i'm just saying i have smooth gameplay because of high FPS and i have ZERO stutter because of ??? who knows so many different computers and yet people still have problems with Uber rigs, my posts were to explain that i do not have micro-stutter but people would keep on saying otherwise "not possible" ah "troll" and [censored] like that, showed screenshots/video still same BS. Again f****** disable v-sync.

So FYI since you also seems to think i'm a liar well here's a SS again for your sheer ignorance http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/828/74876363.jpg/ and since you're blind like many posters before, notice the spike that goes to 0% is game loading and the second is because I ALT-TABBED... /sarcasm

You can say all you want about my supposed PC knowledge but so far i am laughing really hard at what you said, like those pc tech that got fired at my job because they believe in the nonsense similar to what i see in this forum, you're just another wanna be "self-educated" PC tech that i see all the time.

Argue all you want i know i am right you all fail hard because i provided evidence of MY game performance before and yet people can't admit it, whatever you will reply will be pure denial and i'll laugh again.

"You don't have crossfire working even though you think that you do"
OMG you fail so hard you're just pissed because i get better performance than your uber rig which cost you half a nut, again laughing@your wasted money lol.
[censored] ignorants, just because release notes doesn't specify 4xxx series doesn't mean anything you dumb [censored], CFX is for all ATI GPU's combos.. 2cards or dual GPU's, go back to shool or something, can't you see the damn screenshot MSI after burner is always showing GPU1/2 80%+ Usage or maybe i should [censored] make a press video conference with a fat 70inch screen for people to see.


@Scoob Yeah in the vid it could appear less smooth because as you might know, the video recording does impact the performance ingame and thus does not represent the actual "feel" of the game, but i could compare it to the performance i had in UT3, yes poor game but it runs so fast FPS wise but anyhow we only have Fraps@60FPS for now. But at least you cannot see any stutter or pauses or any kind of frame skipping.

I can only state that original release of game i dint see any micro studdering then after the patch i did. My rig is pretty beefy and eats most games up. And did this guy really fix the problem by setting his mouse acceleration?

Ladies and gentlemen, proof that it is impossible to get banned if and only if you are actually a troll.

Same here, but I installed the patch, updated Nvidia drivers to beta and used the 4GB fix, so it could be either one of these.

This thread... it... it could have been helpful

If I get time I'll start a new one and copy/paste any relevant posts.

since patch 1.2 the games doesn't feel smooth anymore , no idea why ...

QFT Same engine, same conclusions.

Ok the running the game on windowed and using the borderless mod eliminated stutter but at some areas the game felt heavier and less smooth (standing outside Breezehome going towards the market stalls, and the fps was 30, as if it was set not be be anything less than that.

I then ran the game in full window and this area was smooth again and the fps was in the 40's, but some stuttering did occur when I went on top to the sky forge blacksmith in Whiterun.

I did disable the mouse acceleration in both tries tho

The more I read about this, the more I think it is the 60/64 Hz issue, not a loading stutter from the disk.

I use to have this problem in a different game. The sound would be stuttering/super-echo and it makes the entire game like a slide show. It was because I set my audio sample rate to Studio (96) instead of CD (44).

Maybe that is what is happening to you.
