Stuttering

Game randomly started stuttering nonstop yesterday after months of butter-smooth gameplay. I suspected it might have been an issue with the recent Nvidia driver, but even reverting back to the previous driver that worked fine and reinstalling Destiny 2 produced no change. Things I’ve Tried: Cleared Steam Cache Reinstalled Game Reinstalled Graphics Driver Reverted to Old Graphics Driver Updated Windows Turned Off Steam Friends Control Flow Guard Off Cleared RAM/Turned Off All Other Apps Made More Room On SSD Turned Off V-Sync Turned Off Framerate Cap Restarted PC (this only fixes it temporarily) Shut Down PC Turned Off All Overlays & Recording Reset Router Tested Other Games (everything else works fine) Verified Integrity of Files Changed To Windowed Fullscreen/Borderless Windowed Disabled Fullscreen Optimization on the .exe Updated CPU Driver Disabled Nvidia GPU Shader Cache Optimized to Fullscreen via Nvidia App Lowered Graphics Settings to Low Deleted Temp Files Cleared DirectX Cache Incidentally, I also started getting horrible screen-tearing during Dares as well now for some bizarre reason, even with V-Sync on. Turning V-Sync off somehow improves the tearing. Utterly bizarre. I’ve considered maybe my drive is dying, or maybe being on Win10 has suddenly become an issue due to Bungie’s backend. Everything else runs fine on my system though. Specs: Windows 10 Home Intel Core i7-12700K Nvidia RTX 4070 32 GB RAM (DDR4, I believe)

  • I think I finally found my answer. It’s a Controller Input issue. I tried the game streaming to my Steam Deck and it worked perfectly. After testing what was different, the second I switched to KB/M controls and disconnected my controller, no more hitching, audio issues, etc. The alarming thing is it’s an official Xbox controller connected via USB, exactly what you would expect to work with Destiny 2. And especially ironic given Bungie just announced that all console controllers are compatible. Will this ever be fixed?

    Yes this started again 2-3weeks ago. They finally fixed it for some , me incl. with 9.0.0.8 update, but now its back again. this is how it looks like, driver forced vsync 144Hz. Pay attention to fps in upper right corner, few times it goes above 144HZ limit too. And some random 110-120fps drops inbetween.. https://youtu.be/hTt6pov4DGs https://youtu.be/963v3F65uQ8 my dxdiag, pastebin https://pastebin.com/gLVYvfH8
