Stuttering / Frame time spikes on Kislev and Empire maps (possible others?)

Andro#8845

I've noticed pretty major Frame time spikes resulting in stuttering (FPS is stable) on Kislev siege battle maps. Only seems to happen, strangely enough, when the units starts moving. Tends to get better actually the longer the battle goes on but it remains present throughout.


Seems to be happening to me the worst on Kislev maps and is slightly better on Empire maps. I haven't noticed it anywhere else. My framerate is otherwise excellent and the game runs smoothly.


Anyone else having this issue?

DxDiag and preferences if needed.

Hi @Andro

Thanks for the report and the files, I've passed them on to the team.

Much appreciated. It's a really bizarre and jarring issue so hopefully it can be fixed.

I've also noticed it now on Cathay maps as well. Although its not nearly as bad.

Not sure if anything was changed with this on the most recent patch, but if anything this issue seems to have gotten worse. Its definitely more prominent now on Cathay maps.

Turning off shadows completely seems to work. Or turning up the shadow setting to "Extreme" fixes it as well for me.

That's the only thing I've found so far that stops stuttering. So whatever is happening, it has something to do with shadow rendering seems like.

I have frame spikes on Cathay Farmlands real bad. It only happens on one side of the map though, the side with the sun.
