Hi, I've uploaded a video below. The stutter occurs every time the autosave icon appears at the top right. This manifests itself as a visual stutter and momentary input lag. You can see a clearly visible spike in the frametime graph at the top left of the screen when this happens too.

To summarize the video:
0:03 first autosave stutter - moving through the gameworld
0:31 second autosave stutter - picking up item
0:34 third autosave stutter - picking up second item
0:38 fourth autosave stutter - picking up third item
1:03 fifth autosave stutter - moving through the gameworld
1:18 sixth autosave stutter - picking up fourth item
1:23 interestingly, picking up the granjero hat didn't trigger an autosave and there was no stutter
2:03 seventh autosave stutter - moving through the game world

This averages out to 1 autosave stutter for every 17 seconds of gameplay, which is far too much. If the issue cannot be fixed, please ask the developers to give us an option to disable autosave and use a manual save system instead.

Hi,

System:
Windows 10
Intel 8700k
Nvidia 2070 Super 8gb
16gb ram
nvme m.2 ssd 1tb

I do not have the HD textures installed.

I've uploaded the save game to the cloud.

Pictures of my graphics settings can be found here:

On my system, the autosave stuttering has really improved with this latest update. Frametime analysis still shows minor spikes at the time of autosaving but to my eyes, it's negligible and no longer distracting while playing. Also, the crashes I used to be getting from switching out weapons from my arsenal seem to be gone. Thank you to the devs and community liaisons for working to resolve these problems.

@redralph

This would be a good compromise. The fact that the game autosaves so frequently is the real problem. I wouldn't care much if the autosave caused a stutter every 10 minutes, but several times in one minute is really distracting.

Hello there!

Thank you for continuing to update this thread with your reports of stuttering / low FPS whenever the game autosaves. I'd like to provide you all with a reminder of the ongoing investigations into stuttering that's caused following an autosave in-game:

• Experiencing stuttering / low FPS whenever an item is picked up and the game autosaves
  • Investigation Status: Pending fix
  • Additional Comments: The development team will be deploying a fix for this specific stutter in a future update! Once we have more details to share, such as an ETA for when this update will be released, they will be posted within this thread and via patch notes within the News & Announcements forum.

• Experiencing stuttering / low FPS whenever entering a newly discovered area and the game autosaves
  • Investigation Status: Under investigation
  • Additional Comments: The development team have been able to reproduce this issue during testing and are investigating further. To help with the ongoing investigation, please can you provide us with as much of the following information as possible:
    • What are your system specs (CPU/GPU)?
    • Are you using the HD texture pack? If so, have you tried disabling this to see if the stuttering improves?
    • Does the stuttering occur when carrying out other actions (such as picking up items or switching weapons)?
    • Can you please upload your affected save file to the cloud? This support article can show you how to do this.
    • Please can you provide us with an image of your video settings?
    • Can you please share a video which demonstrates the stuttering occuring when the game autosaves in-game?

If you are encountering an autosave stutter following a different action, please can you let us know within this thread so we can investigate this further as well?

@TariqZelzal - Just to clarify, are you only encountering the autosave stutter when picking up items in-game? Or does the stutter occur when the game autosaves after other actions (such as discovering a new location)?

@craftercis - Thanks for clarifying that for me. No worries about the mistake! Your reports have been really helpful to the investigations so far If you notice a stutter occuring following an autosave with any other actions, please don't hesitate to let us know so we can take a closer look.

@FriteuseBelge - Would you be able to provide us with a timestamp from @craftercis's video that mirrors the stuttering you're encountering? They've clarified that the stutter occurs when a new location is discovered, which we've notified the development team about. We don't yet have any videos that shows the stuttering occuring when the game autosaves during a mission (unless this is linked to picking up an item or discovering a new area). If we can pinpoint the specific stutter you're referring to, this will be helpful for the investigation.

@yo0k - Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback and suggestions with us regarding deploying similar fixes for previous Far Cry titles. We would be unable to speculate on any future updates planned for any of these older titles. If there are plans announced to deploy performance fixes for other Far Cry titles, this information will be shared via patch notes on our official platforms, so I'd recommend keeping an eye out for any news.

@Sparhawk122 - Thanks for taking the time to share your report with us regarding the stuttering you've experienced when picking up items. The development team are aware of this issue and will be deploying a fix in a future update! Once we have more confirmed details to share, such as an ETA for this fix, we will let you know within this thread once they are made available.

@Necronomicon999 - Would you be able to provide us with some more information about the stuttering issue you've encountered in-game? I asked some questions in my previous post, which you haven't yet responded to. If you missed them, you can see my questions again below:
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing an autosave stutter in-game. Would you be able to provide us with some more information about this? Does this autosave stutter happen whenever you pick up an item or discover a new area? If so, I'd recommend checking the investigations I've listed above.

If you've encountered the stuttering when discovering a new area, please can you provide us with the requested information? We can then pass this along to the development team as part of the ongoing investigation.

If the cause of the stutter isn't listed above, please provide us with as much information about what causes the stuttering / low FPS in-game as possible, as this will help us to investigate further.

If you can provide us with this information, it will be very helpful for our investigation into these stutters.

Thanks!

Hi,

The stutter occurs everytime the game autosaves; picking up items, moving through the world, etc.

I'll be very happy if you guys can fix the autosave stutter, it really detracts from the gameplay.
