I am also getting hitching, causes my game to stop responding. Happened pre patch. I've set the game to run as admin, disabled fullscreen optimization, deleted the files associated with gfx settings (remade when game is booted), running it as windows 8 compatibility (windows 10 tool suggested to do so), newest updates for my hardware and windows and it appears to be better. Not sure it'll crash an hour in even. Other games no issue but I haven't played them too much to for sure know. I read that playing the game on medium or low/medium can help. I've posted twice about this and no reply. Current nividia drivers are bad I've read, especially for 1060 uses (myself).

I'm not even going to mess with the optimization stuff, I don't want to mess anything up. To be honest it's so stupid when this stuff happens. A big part of me thinks it's due to the stupid Tiger engine, but I know I shouldn't say anything because I don't know anything about game development.

You won't do any harm by doing something like that. It's been a fix for a lot of games.

I don't even know how to do that stuff though. By gfx settings are you referring to the CVARS.xml file they tell you to delete in the PC vital info. thread? Plus the way you said it, it sounded like it's a hardware problem but it shouldn't be b/c my PC specs are more then capable. I already checked all my drivers, they're all up to date. I even downloaded the latest Nvidia GPU driver the other day in GeForce Experience. I shouldn't have to jump through a bunch of hoops to play a game.

Also yes that file. When I'm file explorer look for the view tab. Then find show hidden folders. Then the guide should show you where the files are. I'd recommend playing on low and seeing if that helps.

It's easy. Find the game launcher (like the desktop icon). Right click, properties, and it's under compatibility. Yeah I agree it's annoying. I think so many people are having issues that is up to the Devs, not us.

What's the difference between Windows 7 and 8 compatibility mode? Also What does disabling full screen optimization do b/c I play in full screen. I'm also looking into getting a GSync monitor to see if that helps, but that's proving to be a headache because pretty much most of them are 4k, but I only really care about 1080p and 60fps+.

So I'm unsure what it does, I would do some Google searches on it, I should too. It didn't change performance for me. I do windowed fullscreen though. Also I am unsure about the compatibility thing as well. There's an option to test to recommend if you should use one of those options. For instance fallout 3 runs better on windows 7 as that is the latest windows build the game supports. So checking that for something like that has a use. Unsure why it recommended windows 8 for me.

I haven't been on the other planets as much as I've been on Mars for the past few days but it happens on March so much. It's usually just every single step, stutter, stutter, stutter. I don't understand how things like this don't get tested. I mean, it's hard not to assume that certain of game development might be simple when I barely know anything about it, but this almost makes me not want to play the game b/c it takes the smoothness away from the game play.
