CONTROL Resonant: Stuttering and Bad Frame Pacing (Workarounds)

Short answer

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: If so, please try limiting your frames and/or settings so that it doesn’t use more than 75% and see if that resolves the issue for you too.

How to fix it

  1. Monitor your graphics card utilization while playing to see if high usage coincides with the stuttering and frame time spikes during camera panning and traversal.
  2. Limit your in-game frame rate or lower your graphic settings so that your GPU usage stays at or below 75 percent.

If it still doesn't work

  • Acknowledge that this is only an informal workaround and not a permanent fix, as no official patch or confirmed solution is available yet.
  • Try experimenting with different percentage thresholds below 75 percent, as the exact usage limit where stutters disappear may vary depending on your specific system setup.
  • Share your system specifications and testing results with the community to help identify which hardware configurations are affected and assist developers in finding a permanent solution.

What players reported

I’m experiencing some stutters/frame time spikes when panning the camera and during traversal in general. One odd thing I noticed is that if I keep my GPU usage around 75% and below the stuttering almost completely disappears and the frametime graph is almost perfectly flat. At first I thought it was the high frame rate alone causing this. However, it doesn’t matter if the gpu is pushed over 75%…

What players suggest

I see. Out of curiosity. Do you have the ability to monitor your GPU usage percentage? If so, please try limiting your frames and/or settings so that it doesn’t use more than 75% and see if that resolves the issue for you too. What’s your setup btw?

Thefailsafe

We’re in the same boat (I think at least...) If you have the time. Try limiting your graphic settings and/or fps to get under 75% usage (maybe that percentage isn’t the same on all GPUs?) and see if the stutters disappears as they do for me. I know this isn’t a real solution. But I think pinpointing this could help Remedy bring out a fix sooner. Or get clarity around which systems are affected…

FIX FOR AUDIO AND PERFORMANCE STUTTERS

I have a super fast 2TB SSD, it’s not my card. According to the AI, the game has a bug that constantly is reading the assets from the SSD and taking up bandwidth.

Stuttering and Frame Pacing Making the Game Unplayable!

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Maybe try unplugging devices, disabling recording software (if any), close other launchers (if any), clear shader cache, etc?
