I've been tweaking settings/hardware/software for days. I think the issue mainly happens when I zoom in for the first time to armies present in battle map. It destroys FPS for few moments whne I zoom and causes stutter. After zooming for the first time the excesive stutter ceases. The metrics look fine throughout. GPU temps fine, CPU a bit hot but its expected with my cpu (average 65-70ish, some cores see peak of 90 momentarily). GPU loads and VRAM usage look all fine. Im tracking it all via HWinfo and seems like hardware is not an issue.
Could it be one of the newer drivers that broke how the card operated between lod levels? Back then I didnt have issues swapping between lods via zoom level... I have also activated performance mode from Nvidia panel to reduce the stress gap between low poly lod and zoom in levels.
Please help me out I love this game I do but this stutter is annoying me so bad
Im having this issue which made the game unplayable for me at this point. In battle, no matter where I look or the intensity of ongoing events (happens even during deployment phase) I get these mciro stutters whenever I zoom or move my camera around. Its so very annoying. The FPS basically drops to 59 and then spikes to 61. Sometimes drops to 57 for a few secs then spikes to 62. I have vsync enabled btw.
I played the game with the same rig and settings and these issues newer happened before. Last I played was when the Cathay DLC dropped. This happened when I returned during 5.1.2 for Nurgle/Empire DLC. Still happens in 5.1.3 when I created a new save.
Also don't know if related but during sieges with my allied armies, the games froze completely and crahsed when 3rd allied army arrived in map. This happened in Hergig siege.
