Issues fixed
Heavy stutters without a controller
Connect or emulate a controller[10] |
---|
The game will stutter multiple times per second if a controller has not been detected at least once. Solutions:
The controller does not need to constantly be connected or emulated and can be removed as soon as the stutters stop, which happens almost immediately. |

- Inspected the render latency before and after connecting a controller using Special K. Huge spikes in render latency were observed multiple times per second at regular intervals when no controller had been connected or emulated. These stutters were very noticeable. Connecting a DualSense Edge controller using a USB cable, via Bluetooth, or emulating a controller using vJoy or Key2Joy made these huge spikes go away almost immediately. The regular interval stutters disappeared entirely, even when the controller was disconnected or stopped being emulated. Using Special K to emulate a controller had no effect on the amount or severity of the spikes and therefore did not decrease the stuttering.
