Stuttered Character movements - 2020

Game mode: [Online private]
Type of issue: [Performance]
Server type: [PvE-Conflict]
Region: [EU]


Been playing CE since it went live. It tended to run without a hitch on Ultra. Got a relatively new PC so I doubt its hardware based and all my drivers are up to date.

Intel® Core™ i7-8700K
16GB DDR4 at 2666MHz Dual Channel
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 with 8GB GDDR5X
SSD

Just after Xmas I’ve had a strange issue where ambient sound was stuttering when moving. I read up on other forum posts and tried UseAudioThread=false in the BaseEngine.ini file and that resolved that issue. But now I’ve noticed my character movement is still stuttering. While moving the world seems to be smooth… it’s simply my character movement seems to be choppy.

I’ve tried lowering my settings to low and that did not resolve anything still choppy movement.


  1. Make your character move
  2. See stuttered movement

I’d like to add that I’ve checked with other members of the server and they are not experiencing this issue.

UPDATE: Seems like I had a background process running that was causing a CPU usage issue and affecting my gameplay. It was for serving content over my network. After turning it off the game runs fine. Please close this thread.

I´m having the same issue, even on single player or in the inventory screen.
I doubt that there is any issue with my rig, that may not be top of the line, but it still is pretty decent and run other (equivalent) games with no issues:

AMD FX-8320 liquid cooled
16 Gb RAM 1600 Mhz
GPU GTX 1070
SSD

Right now, the game is unplayable for me.
I have tried the workaround mentioned above, with no avail.
