Stuttering, Small freezes and framerate Issues

[Xik464]

I went through the thread and compiled a list of the users posting and summary of the configurations of those that posted. I would love to say sure we can patch this, but there is no easy patch for this. Because if it were a sole issue with the game, then ALOT more people would post about this on the forum. The game has been a top seller on Steam alone for two weeks, there are a lot of people playing the game. So should this be a problem with people having these configurations (which after compiling it to a list is a very common set of hardware) the forum should not be working at the moment due to the load of complaints.

That said. This is of course not good for you and not good for us. Does not help you at all.

So here is the list, it also contains a tip that one user posted, but no one replied to. So to begin perhaps all can try that tip and see if it makes a difference?

Slowdown (not related directly to the above)
SpaceJesus 55 - 660Tu, amd 8350, 16GB (Also posted solution. Don't use high SSAO or high value on samples, keep it low as the visual difference is minimal but performance requierments of high settings is very high).
