It should be with the next patch hopefully.

Found on reddit as a possible issue: "Check your Nvidia control panel and see if your Physx configuration is set to the graphics card, CPU, or Auto. Set it to the GPU if it's anything other than that and see if you notice a difference."

Have you tried running as admin, forcing dx 11 or exclusive mode? There's also an ongoing issue with citrix drivers. launch options: -force-d3d11 -window-mode exclusive

Eesh, I hit sort by date backwards. This should be the correct file hopefully. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1YNsBXym_jWKiRvQXOZQUKr_CigD5oF9u

Here's my save, I gave up trying to fight the Giant Luminescent Spore because I couldn't keep dominate off of Eder with suppress affliction or minor intercession. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iIe5W44gf2vg1fvxC3C-WLFngKK0PNFw

There was a potential fix in this thread https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/108962-potential-fix-for-fps-dropsstuttering-on-high-end-pc/ the tl:dr is that there's something wrong in the saves folder that isn't wiped because of steam cloud saves.

If you delete the save game folder with the game running and then quit it should delete the cloud files, or at least that's the way it worked with POE1.

@Insolentius You could always use this guide to download the old versions. https://old.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/611h5e/guide_how_to_download_older_versions_of_a_game_on/

Assuming you're not using cloud saves in GOG Galaxy, probably not.

Crookspur has a bunch of quests that are all simultaneous. The wiki has a chart near the end that explains the interactions, it seems like they expected you to only be doing one faction at a time. It should let you autocomplete quests that have the same outcome without failing, but they probably didn't test each possible combination, or there was a regression. https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/A_Shrewd_Proposition

Some people have tried using the save folder contents from another computer and it apparently fixed the problem. My layman's guess is there is some issue with the achievements file that swapping fixes? https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/108962-potential-fix-for-fps-dropsstuttering-on-high-end-pc/

Supposedly they already turned telemetry off, subsequent saves with the alternate files didn't have a performance issue either.

It's the save folder from another computer. The contents are saves, global achievements and the AI behavior folder. There might be some sort of bug involving the the global achievements file. As per another discussion, Steam cloud was saving all of these files, so attempts at wiping/reinstalling etc. weren't effective at remedying the stutter until steam cloud was wiped with a known working set of files. https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/108687-game-running-choppy-suddenly/

I've had the same issue in a variety of places.

Just make sure to uninstall the console afterwards, on a lot of setups it messes up performance quite a bit.

I'm waiting until the next patch to complete my playthrough because of this. I have about a 50% chance that Eder will murder everyone in the party in tough fights with dominate/charm enemies.

My stutter was about every 30 seconds or so, it's at least playable if annoying. I have an AMD card, I think it's just exacerbated by the NVIDIA issue. Another random suggestion, do you have Window's Night Light enabled? My problem was worse with F.lux and they do similar things.

Try running it as administrator? Or in an earlier windows compatibility mode? Alt-tab back and forth?

Yes, it runs worse with the console installed.

I'm having a similar issue, forcing a higher virtual resolution seemed to have a somewhat positive effect on the stutter. This made it more playable for me, now I'm just waiting on the suppress affliction bug to get fixed. Another thing to try is forcing exclusive fullscreen, and d3d11 as launch options. -force-d3d11 -window-mode exclusive

I just had the same thing happen coming back from Hasongo, I received a parrot missive from the Queen during the cutscene and then a random crew event created a black screen as well.

Ideally before the weekend if possible

I'm having the same problem, if you double click they switch back to running sometimes.

They offered the base game and the season pass for about the price of the game itself during the Fig campaign. If you had previously backed POE 1 they even gave a discount.
