So we all know the game isn't as smooth as it should be by now. Well, an old trick seems to help with wildly erratic frame times.

Basically using RivaTuna / MSI AFterburner, you force a 59FPS or 60FPS cap - this is despite the V-Sync being on in game. Let me show you.

Notice how it's like a seismograph? That is not normal in games. That is the sign of bad V-Sync.

It doesn't fix cutscenes sadly, but it's a MAJOR improvement to the general smoothness of the game. It's a locked 16.66 Frame-time with this, instead of randomly 14, 15, then 18, ect. Which causes the micro-stutter.

If you use Steam Controller or Steam DS4 support, it won't work with MSI Afterburner - Unless you do what I say below.

****************************
To make it so you can use MSI Afterburner, without having to turn it on and off with DS4 / Steam Controller, follow this advice:

Delayed injection engine is configured inside .\ProfileTemplates\Global file in RTSS folder. 64-bit Steam overlay can be added there as necessary: InjectionDelayTriggers = IGO64.dll,GameOverlayRenderer64.dll

> Global file is in C:\Program Files (x86)\RivaTuner Statistics Server\ProfileTemplates. Search for InjectionDelayTriggers = IGO64.dll and then add ,GameOverlayRenderer64.dll. Exit/re-open Afterburner/RivaTuner after editing the Global file.>



16.66 VS constantly changing. Much smoother than default.
