Manimal

Thorfinn - Thank you. Yes, vanilla, no mods. Hard-drive 1.62tb free of 2tb. So good there. I wish I knew exactly what fixed it. So I could help others. But here's what I did this morning. Start game - turn on v-sync and Nvidia performance overlay. Max fps. Nothing changes, No noticeable connection in performance. Still stutters... Check PC for updates. Even though I just did this a few days ago. Turns out - New Nvidia update (literally this morning) and a new Bios update. Install both and restart pc. Start game - leaving v-sync on with new updates. Game running so smooth now. If I was a PC tech. I'd be able to narrow it down, but I'm not... Maybe it was just the updates. Though I didn't have time to play even a half hour this morning. I'll play more later and see if it still is fixed. Thank you to everyone for your help!

Thank you. I'll try.

After playing a bit more. I've noticed that these instances seem to cause more significant stuttering... #1 - Temporal rifts. Often when out exploring. They spawn right on top of me. Or very nearby. With instant stuttering. Why do they even exist in daylight? They don't do anything in the day... #2 - Heavily forested areas. Any dense forest causes some stuttering. Some more than others. #3 - Dropped Items. This one affects my home and mines the most. I often drop un-needed items in a hole or water. Upon returning home. Or after returning to a mine. (Sometimes up to a week later). Items are still where I dropped them. Do items despawn in this game? If not. How does one dispose of trash?

Hello, I found this game while using my steam deck. Bought it at v1.18.10. Ran perfectly on the deck. Very rare stuttering. Fell in love. Amazing game! Alas, my deck had to be RMA'ed. Still waiting on it. So I moved over to play on my home pc. It blows the deck out of the water. RTX 2070 super and 32gb ram. Now I'm on v1.18.14. I'm getting stutters almost all the time. Every other game plays fine. I understand this is early access. Still... It's very game breaking and distracting. I've tried changing all the settings and a fresh install. Yet nothing helps... So my question is this... Anyone one else experiencing this? Is there something in settings I'm missing? Or did a recent update upset the game? If so, how does one downgrade to a previous version? Any help or insight is appreciated.

I fully agree. This game is amazing. A suggestion for your prospecting issue though. I highly recommend watching videos on prospecting in Vintage Story. I'm 170+ hrs into my first world. At 100 hrs. I too, was very frustrated with mining. Watched a few videos. Now I'm well into the iron age. Finding everything I go looking for. Even have 2 ultra high Cass mines and gold mine. Only thing keeping me from steel. Is making refractory bricks. Lastly, yes, this game blows that other voxel game. Out of the water! I feel so much more accomplishment. After I complete a job in this game. It really is incredible. Thank you devs! Edit - PS: Well, I haven't found everything... Meteors, yes, Halite, NO. Halite absolutely evades me. I've been searching for it so long. I'm starting to believe it doesn't exist... Yes. I do have a healthy amount from traders. Just don't want to have to trade for it. Plus really want to find sylvite.

Well, Since it's been over a year and no one has said anything. I have to say I whole-heartedly agree. Just hit 170hrs in my first world. Attempting to make cheese. But could not with the 25L full barrel. Bummer... PS: As this is my first post. I really want to say. Thank you to the devs. THANK YOU DEVS! This is the closest. To "the game I've been looking for". That I have ever seen or found. Previously, my love and longest playtime. Is a game called Unreal World. Vintage Story make take over...LOL
