Stuttering that never happened before???

Let me first start by saying, please do not merge my thread into some stuttering megathread. I’m so tired of forum mods merging threads that nobody reads anymore, for the sake of avoiding issues, or making them “go away”. I’m an individual, I don’t know why somebody else is having performance issues. I don’t want to be merged into their thread. If issues like this are so common, then perhaps it’s because every time somebody mentions it, it gets merged into a megathread and nobody see’s it.

I was playing this game without this issue for over a month. My hardware is the same. I don’t have any viruses, malware, or security issues. I’ve killed just about every processes that’s running. I’ve got plenty of headroom on my cpu, ram and gpu. Yet, the game still stutters like every 10 to 15 seconds. I would also like to say that if anybody’s going to suggest some sort of tweak to my settings, that’s unacceptable considering the fact that the game has ran fine for over a month without this issue. I launched the game today, and it’s been doing it since. I’ve closed it and re-launched it, the same thing. I’ve tried to turn my panels refresh rate to 60hz, and lock it at 60/vsync in game, and it still happens. Though I don’t know why I did that because everything worked fine before.

Windows 10 Home Premium - latest update
7700K - Not overclocked
GTX1080 - Not overclocked
16gb DDR4 - Not overclocked
S2716DG 144hz/2560x1440/Gsync

At this rate, if this issue doesn’t resolve, the game is unplayable. Nobody , I don’t care how tolerant, would be able to play this game the way it’s running on my system. I’m beginning to think this issue is related to the latest windows update considering I haven’t played the game since that update… If that’s the case I’m extremely disappointed because it’s not like Microsoft doesn’t know about this game… You guys are making this way too easy for Slightly Mad Studios. At least put up a fight.

I don’t know if this is a PC exclusive issue but I’ve definitely started to notice stuttering on my Xbox One original, during career races. And it seems to be usually around the same track section. Even if I’ve left the car pack behind, the game will exhibit frame hiccups for a while. Perhaps it’s the system getting overloaded due to all the physics and audio processing it has to do? Combine that with a full grid and weather effects.

I don’t know, just taking pot shots here. Apart from this, the game is generally well optimized for Xbox.

Game DVR was the culprit in some games for me, turned it off and not had issues since.

Thanks for pointing that out. Pretty sure my game DVR option is off but I’ll double check.

Are your stutters always happen at the same spot on tracks? Take a look at here: https://forums.forza.net/turn10_postsm937935_Forza-7-PC-stuttering.aspx#post_937935
