Microstuttering

[Kimuri]

Hey guys, I've been constantly fighting this thing for a while but it gradually gets worse.

First of all, I have 8 gigs of ram. That is the culprit but it shouldn't punish me that bad. 
I run GTX970 and i7 4770k, game works perfect but combat situations leave me stuttering and even spiking for seconds on end.
Anyone knows this is a guaranteed ticket for death and it often is, sadly.

 

Anyone who has solutions?
I tried allocating ram to my C drive, tried the start up thing people have been hyping, tried the optimal settings thing by nvidea etc. 

Anything?

It happens to everyone. It's not exactly optimized. They blame Unity. I blame poor coding. Great game and great progress but just not up to par with current industry standards.

It's a strange thing because sometimes I have raids where nothing goes wrong and other raids it's like a big cluster of jesus almighty stuttering.

For some reason, Interchange is terrible for me. Every couple raids I end up restarting the client.

RAM is RAM and can't be moved to the C:\ (or any) drive.  That's the page file you're mentioning and you should just leave that for Windows to manage.

I've noticed that up to 16GB of RAM will be used by EFT alone (shoreline daytime normally had the highest usage.)  Since your PC is trying to use the pagefile for the lack of RAM, having an SSD will help but it will not solve all the studdering issues.  You'll have to increase your RAM.

2 things EFT benefits from a lot: 

SSD and 16gbRAM. 

You cannot properly run it with 8, its just not enough for it. As for the SSD it helps with the loading time.

See I have 8g RAM (DDR4) too, I used to have 20g (DDR3) same game version, and I have no stutters at all? even in combat scenarios. Im not sure its the RAM.

1tb NVME samsunf pro drive and 32GB of DDR4 4000 ram,  i9-9900k and 2080ti here. 

 

...Still get FPS/Stuttering

I saw a video not so long ago regarding this topic, apparently it has something to do with multi-threading, something that EFT doesn't handle well at the moment.

Try to take a look, I tried his fix and so far it worked, except for Interchange since I don't play it that much.

Cheers all
