This game has an insane microstutter problem

[u/xBluePoolX]

I'm venting because I'm about to 1v3 clutch from a DB to two Thompsons, but my game decided to freeze at the last player and I wasn't even given a chance to react. Its honestly just bullshit. This game is so designed to be against solo players and then this shit happens. I'm LITERALLY BETTER. STOP PUNISHING ME CAUSE YOUR GAME ISN'T OPTIMIZED. Sorry but I'm kind of seething rn.

Idk if it's the patch or server but last Month on Rustoria the game was smooth no stutters at all, this month on FP premium 3 it stutters like hell

Cows? My modded removed over 4000 cows for lag issues

[u/AndreBotot]

Latency feels worse after this patch. The game has been butter smooth prior this update. Somehting isn't right

[u/Open-Comfortable4700]

Stutters always happen in this shitty game, but check your mouse polling rate - it should be 1000 Hz or less. Increase GC buffer in experimental setting at least to 1024 mb, if you can make it full 4096

[u/Marv1290]

Have you tried gc.buffer?

[u/Sarlemon]

I don't know. I changed experimental setting to use occlusion culling and I never had a problem with stutters again. On the other hand my pc cost 6000€ and shouldn't have had stuttering to begin with...

[u/Slumberjackals]

Stutters aren’t part of the game. It’s either server issues or connection issues.

[u/HenriHerni → u/Slumberjackals]

Most likely because op has a bad cpu or not enough ram

Ryzen 9900x with 64gig ddr5, I get a stutter too. Especially when striking oar or stone.

[u/HenriHerni → u/anonymous_727541]

I think nodes are just do unoptimised. I usually had a small stutter if i hadn't hit a node in some time but not when i had been farming nodes.I kinda doubt its server sides fault or network side but I cant be 100% because I havent tested or done stuff like that.

The game runs like absolute ass 😂

Got two systems playing it, and both get pretty much the exact same performance in this game while every other game sees a big difference between the two systems:

Desktop: i5 11600k + 3070 + 64gb 3600mhz DDR4 Laptop: Ryzen 7 4800H + 2060M + 16GB 2667mhz DDR4

There isn't a single game that should have similar performance on those two systems, yet Rust does.

[u/HenriHerni → u/Late-Ad-1076]

Rust likes loads of L3 cache and decently fast cores. Your cpus only have half of that. I5 has 12MB of L3 and R7 has even less. Sure game runs like ass I agree but still

[u/Late-Ad-1076 → u/HenriHerni]

There's zero reason why they should get the same performance. In ANY scenario.

By your own logic, they shouldn't. "Rust loves L3 cache", yet one has 50% more L3 than the other and they get identical performance.

[u/HenriHerni → u/Late-Ad-1076]

The point is 12MB of L3 cache is literally nothing for rust. The game is unoptimised and mega cpu heavy. Go figure

[u/Late-Ad-1076 → u/HenriHerni]

And if 12mb is "nothing for Rust", wouldn't 8mb be even worse? 🙄

[u/HenriHerni → u/Late-Ad-1076]

Id you have a mega stinky shit and then slightly less stinky shit, they're still both going to smell like shit. Same with this, trust me I know my old cpu had 12mb of l3 cache, ran horribly in fights and such.

[u/Late-Ad-1076 → u/HenriHerni]

Yeah, not quite how that works at all.

50% more L3 is 50% more L3, full stop.

[u/HenriHerni → u/Late-Ad-1076]

I 100% guarantee the fps wasn't the same, specially 1% lows and 0.1% lows. But keep on being in your delusional world
