ShodanCat Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Just started playing on Steam and immediately ran into an issue. First, PC specs: 9900k 2080 Ti 418.91 drivers 16gb RAM Windows 10 Pro x64 The issue is a large, rhythmic frame drop/stutter every 2 seconds. Settings don't matter; I tried low everything with a VERY high frame rate, but the stutter is still there like clockwork. Tried reboot, verifying the game's cache with Steam, changing all the settings, trying Vsync on/off, windowed/fullscreen, etc. Something weird is going on here.

LittleApple Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 tried disabling overlays? Check to ensure theres no popups or other program thats from the task bar thats causing dialogue boxes to tooltips from popping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no overlays running or any extraneous services at all, for that matter. Tried turned off fullscreen optimizations on the .exe as well, no change. I have a feeling this is going to turn out to be an issue with 8 cores + hyperthreading tripping up the game process somehow (16 logical cores) but obviously I'm just guessing here. I doubt many people have played this on a 9900k yet, even among Codies themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShodanCat Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 OK, I believe I've figured out what's causing it... I tried unplugging all of my peripherals, then plugging them in one by one and testing DR2. My Logitech G27, of all things, is causing it. No idea WHY though. I've been using it for years without issue, even right now with DR1 with zero issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarClaw Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I'm having the same problem, this stutter / frame drop every few seconds (2-3) is immense annoying. Using Fanatec and not Logitech. It seems to be a problem how CM is reading the HID devices. This has to be solved. There is a long discussion on Steam forum to try to break this down. I have found a lot of discussions also to Dirt 4, where this problem seems never solved. The list of real problems is unfortunately rising, FFB, career reset, stuttering ...

retrojonezin Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 This is also happening to me. I can tie it back to my thrustmaster t300. This doesn't happen with dirt rally 1, or F12018. Doesnt matter what USB i use, or what else is plugged in. The second I unplug the wheel the game is smooth. I can even see the stutter on the menu screens. Has to be a game bug. Also tried Forza Horizon 4 and Forza 7. This is definitely related to the game. My rig. 2080 ti 8700k 32gb ram win10 Samsung NVME HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned in the G27 stutter thread I made some more tests and found: Started DR 2 with all my devices plugged in -> stutter -> unplugged my F16 button box while DR 2 is running -> stutter gone Stopped DR 2 and started it again (F16 still unplugged) -> stutter -> unplugged next device my H-shifter -> stutter gone The same with MSI Afterburner running or not, Steam overlay activated or not. So I think it's not connected to a special device or driver as some people are saying, also not connected to MSI afterburner, RTSS or Steam overlay. From my view it's more connected how CM is reading the HID devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrojonezin Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Regardless of anything mentioned, there should never be a scenario where a game is this picky about a USB device. If I remember correctly Dirt Rally 1 had the same issues and it was fixed in a patch. Hopefully the same will happen here. The unfortunate part is not being able to play 2.0 with anything but a controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kildog Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 This stopped the stuttering for me. I use a G27.

retrojonezin Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Is this going to be patched, DR1 did this with a wheel plugged in an it was eventually fixed. Not on DR 2.0 every couple seconds I stutter and drop about 10 FPS, unplug my wheel and everything is good. I am not going start disabling USB inputs, that seems ridiculous.

ianism Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I'll wait till I get around to taking some video, but I think this might be happening to me too, on occasion. it only happens in a race, so if I quit to the menu and go back to the stage it's usually gone but it's relatively distracting specs: i7 8th gen 2.20GHz 16GB ram 1050ti 4GB crucially, this is a laptop. I play DR 2.0 on a keyboard. so the issue cannot be caused by my peripherals because I don't have any, unless you count a wireless mouse... so yeah, I don't know if this is the same exact problem you guys are having, but it sure looks similar. EDIT: it's only been happening since the 1.21 or 1.3 patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarClaw Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Posted March 3 Any news on the HID problems? Just to remind at the rhythmic stutter bug. To make it clear, that's a HID reading problem, here an Afterburner picture where you can see the rhythmic stutter (only sitting at the starting line) and then after a while I unplugged a device (where the larger frame drop is) and you can clearly see after that the stutter is completely gone. Even driving the stage after a while (where the graph of the GPU workload is starting to move) no frame drop at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm, erratic frame pacing (even just 5ms here and there) is noticeable to most people. These stutters are probably in excess of 50ms or even 100ms, it renders the game almost unplayable.

mickeeiemouse Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 iv given up waiting for a fix on this, i STILL cant use ALL of my USB controller devices because of the USB polling issue, iv a handbrake and gearbox that are pluggd in briefly to stop the stutter, then have to be removed to prevent the stutter returning......

The one people are talking about in this thread is a constant rhythmic stutter that happens at all times during the game, even sitting in the menus.

PolarClaw Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 So what's going on? Just tried DR2 and the same problems as before, now with V 1.4.1 nothing changed. Stutter every few seconds, it's like the pictures freezes a short time and then jumps a few frames. This way it's no fun to play. Also the long list of other bugs even the smallest bugs as REV light on Fanatec wheels going the wrong direction are not fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleizer Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The rhythmic stutter is best documented in the Frametime graph. This is using driver 378.92, which is the driver that gives the least stutter. It is sometimes better after a restart, but comes back after a while and eventually the game will hang. Unless I CTRL+ALT+DEL within 10 seconds or so, my whole PC will hang and I have to force close it. I have tried all drivers, 3 different GFX cards (2 EVGA 1080 FTW and GIGABYTE GTX 1080Ti), 2 different MB (ASUS x99 Deluxe and Deluxe II) I have bought a 3rd MB (ASUS ROG RAMPAGE V EDITION 10), but have not tried it yet, because I want to see if the new update 1.5 improves on anything first. Codemasters have been acting worse than I would expect from any dev. in relation to this problem, and is a complete disgrace. So far I have wasted more than $1200 trying to find hardware that is circumventing these BUGs. Codemasters could at least have tried to communicate some statistics and work with us to try to get to the bottom of this problem, but unfortunately, they don't care... Since they asked us to send DxDiag to Support back in february, I have heard NOTHING. Turning OFF all USB does not change anything for me, and using other drivers than 387.92, makes the game totally unplayable. Picture below is with driver 378.92. Frametimes spikes every 10 seconds and there are normally more large spikes in a stage than here. The long line at the end is when the game is windowed in the menu, and inactive. Activating it will trigger the Frametimes seen in the beginning, before I start the stage. The picture is from February 24., but nothing have changed...

PolarClaw Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Ok, so now with 1.5 it's gone worse. Don't know what CM needs to fix it, but at the moment it's going in the wrong direction. Before 1.5 it was a simple stutter, but know the frame stutter repeats itself in the stutter ... frame times up to 74 ms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balage06 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I built a new PC two weeks ago and now I'm having the same issue. My config: ASUS ROG STRIX X470-F GAMING motherboard AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU (Stock settings) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8GB GPU 16GB DDR4 RAM 3200 MHz (DOCP profile) Windows 10 1903 64bit Input devices: Thrustmaster T300RS GT Edition SHH Shifter Aiologs Handbrake (It's also worth mentioning that I had no performance issues before with a much older config and the same game controllers.) I have this periodic freeze described in the OP as well. It's also present in the menu and it's there regardless of graphic settings, even with everything turned off or set to low. I'll try to post a more detailed report later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balage06 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Yeah, after further investigation, the steering wheel (Thrustmaster T300RS) causes the issue for me as well. As soon as I unplug the wheel and use the keyboard instead, the game runs just fine. But it seems that Dirt Rally 2.0 is the only game affected by this, even F1 2019 runs silky smooth with it.

Balage06 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Out of curiosity, I checked the precedessors with the same PC - game controllers combo: - Dirt Rally runs without issues - I experience the same problem in DiRT4 too, I get these periodic stutters every 3-5 seconds when at least one of my controllers is plugged in (- F1 games are also free of this issue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeeiemouse Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 its stopped me from playing at this point. how am i supposed to press a button for handbrake once VR comes along?? its bad enough as it is. my handbrake works fine on ALL other supported games its getting a wiff of SLRE now with the lack of progress with this issue, and iv lost confidence in CodeMasters products at this point, id have bought F1 2019 already but for this, and its not something new from what other forums have said about F1 2018 and D4 MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balage06 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Interesting, I tried the workaround suggested by multiple people in other forums: I manually disabled the HID controllers in the Device Manager one by one, disabling a specific entry indeed fixes the stuttering in both DR2 and D4.

PolarClaw Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Just the usual information, that the Stutter problem is not resolved. DR V 1.7.0 / Steam / Win 10 / VR (Valve Index at 90Hz) This time I attached a DS4 Controller - started the game and started a stage (sitting on the start line) left side with frametime all over the place up in the 50ms -> results in a lot of stutter while driving Then I disconnected the DS4 controller and the stutter is gone, you can see on the right side the frametime is down to around 13ms PS: Last time I used my TH8 shifter to disconnect, because I forgot to connect the DS4 first. So you can disconnect any HID device while the game is running to remove this stutter. @CM Please solve this issue, it's here since v1.0 and now we are at v1.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarClaw Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Just to remind CM, that the problem is not solved at all. Because of the special livery of Petter Solberg I started DR2 (now v1.12) after a few month break to see what's changed and it's worse than ever. Now the rhytmic stutter is down to 4 fps with frametime of 300ms, it's nearly unplayable. I will try the DS4 trick to see if that helps or if there is a new problem. Edit: The DS4 trick to unplug the controller after the game started no longer works. The time delta between the stutters is 12s so what does the game engine every 12s that it slows down the whole game? BTW: I'm really happy that only the CM games have this problem nothing in ACC, R3E, Automobilista, iRacing, PC2 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chereveco Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 This Stuttering thing is happening to my computer right after mounted a new 3090 GPU, not even using all in game settings to ULTRA, just a few, not using the max. resolution available of 3620-1527 and 159mhz, I'm with only at 2560*1080 x 159mhz, no FPS count from Steam shows either... All Drivers removed and installed again... Before I was using a GTX1660 without any issues, with all the in game graphics adjustments just exactly as they are now... Weird sh!it!!!
