I have spent some time tweaking and benchmarking before diving in. My once mighty 1080 can only manage between 50-65 fps depending on settings but I think I finally found the silver bullet. It you mess with resolution scaling, you can really start improving things with little impact to visual quality. Simply scaling down to 97% gave me an extra 10% fps!
*math scribbles*
I'm going to scale my resolution to 192 x 108 and get 150-195 FPS. Nice.

Just kidding.
I'm most likely going to continue to click the "Launch Game" button and watch the Rockstar launcher crash, until I finally give up and request a refund.

For what it's worth, Process Lasso worked pretty drat well for me. Hardly any hitching now, and the hitches that do happen are a few seconds long.

It's been bad enough for me on my 9700K that I'm requesting a refund. Getting hitches like this every 10 to 15 minutes and a third of the time it's a crash.

I was using a different program that did the same thing, BEM. It made the stuttering happen less frequently but when it did happen, it would result in a crash. Now I still get the hitch every 15 minutes or so but it never crashes. The thing thats making performance tips so hard to sift through is, Chapter 1 seems to be way more performance heavy than Chapter 2, and then Valentine seems to have problems of its own. And then some of these so called solutions have problems that don't immediately present themselves.

Apparently a 7700k has no hitching but a 7600K does. It has to do with hyperthreading

The launcher is just sitting at "Connecting to Rockstar game services" now. Worked fine last night, but updated and restarted tonight. Tried disabling AV and running the launcher in administrator mode, but still not getting past "connecting". Oh well, back to Outer Worlds.

Yes, it certainly seems to be related to lack of hyperthreading. That GamersNexus CPU video shows it. Every cpu they tested without hyperthreading (number of threads equals number of cores) showed the problem.

I've a 6 year old i7-3770K, 4 cores/8 threads, and a new RTX 5700 and it's been smooth so far, though I've just made it to the camp outside Valentine.

I love this game and how it’s optimized, but I’ve had about 12 CTDs come out of nowhere, 5 of which came after Rockstar apparently “fixed” the issue earlier today. It keeps happening mid-mission too and I can’t listen to Trelawny yap about his trip to New York a third time, so I may be done until Rockstar unfucks their poo poo.

drat, sucks :( Oddly enough, I switched from Vulkan to DX12 and the hitching vanished. I can't push 2560x1440 full screen like I could using Vulkan, and the Borderless Gaming tool doesn't seem to want to work, but poo poo the hitching is gone. Surprised me, I thought windows 7 didn't support DX12.

Still not getting any drat rumbling with my DS4 controller though, making finding treasure tricky.

Edit:

Hmm maybe not, game crashed so hard using DX12 my video card reset and didn't see my primary monitor until I unplugged it and plugged it back in. That's a new one. Guess this is on the back burner then.

It's pretty wild that Epic paid probably millions of dollars to get 2 months of exclusivity for an early access build of a Triple A game that's been finished for a year on consoles and the release is still worse than anyone could have predicted. Gotta love the state of video games in 2019.

This is interesting because it's been running well with no hitches for me with the same CPU. Then I watched that Gamer's Nexus video linked earlier and it looks like you can get the issue you describe if you're not GPU bound.

Makes no sense to me that 4 cores and 8 threads can be smoother than 8 physical cores

It has to be something more than what's described in the Gamer's Nexus video. Steve saying it possibly happens when you're not GPU bound doesn't make sense when my 1080 Ti is staying loaded at 3440x1440

I also have a 6600k. The only way I got it semi-stable was using process lasso and setting it to decrease 2 cores at 90%, and switching to directx12.

They really, really just need to patch it though. May be worth waiting.

How's DX12 working for you? That hard crash I had earlier has got me really nervous about giving it a more prolonged go :ohdear:

I'm kinda surprised at how little pvp I see online compared to GTA V. 95% of people I encounter are in defensive mode and just want to be left alone. I've only been shot at once in my hours of play and of course it was someone in defensive mode trying to snipe at me from far away. I've left myself in offensive mode and haven't had any problems so far except for that one guy shooting at me and missing badly.

:shrug: My i5-6500 has been chugging along modestly enough after I started manually setting core affinity to two cores. It sucks having to manually set affinity, I shouldn't have to do that, but after I did so the game so far has run without a single hitch or stutter.

I dunno what monkey paw wishes I’ve used up this week, but after the first prologue section I’ve had basically no issues on my i5-6500 + GTX970 combo. The prologue was tough, and the first couple trips into Valentine were a slideshow, but now I’m well into chapter 3 and only getting freezes every 30 minutes or so.

Side-note: for my first play through I’m going full white hat but it’s really loving difficult. Feels like every time I go into a town someone dives in front of my horse and gets trampled, leading to a shootout and unwanted bounty :argh:

This game is so broken. Textures set on high have a LOD-problem so apart from every in-game texture being blurry, the icons and the map follow what seems to be a different scaling so they move differently when zooming in/out. Also, the rockstar launcher doesn't know how to start the epic launcher and crashes when I try to use Direct X12. I miss the pre-50-launchers-to-play-a-game-days.
