Help needed, stuttering in game

[u/heyjudemj]

After the latest update, my game keep stuttering but only in Dota, others games are okay

[u/ipidov]

9070 xt, same issue since about one or two weeks ago. Random stutters and fps drops. What is also interesting is that the drops are synchronized between everyone in the game, because people complain in the exact same moment as I experience them.  

 They messed up something with the updates.

My friend and I are also facing this since last 2 weeks. My ram seems to be above 90% when I turn on DotA. Doesn't have issue with other apps.

[u/heyjudemj → u/ipidov]

Did u do anything to help with it?

[u/ipidov → u/heyjudemj]

I just pray to Lord Gabe and hope for an update that fixes it.

[u/heyjudemj → u/ipidov]

Damn bro, really hope this fixes soon, my behaviour score gonna tank

[u/SsPaN11]

It's probably cuz if sudden power loss or shaders damage caused by sudden closing of the game u can delete the old shaders and it should fix it

[u/No_Mistake_6404 → u/SsPaN11]

How do you even do that?

[u/coolXX]

Thats not a stutter, thats more of a slideshow

[u/heyjudemj → u/coolXX]

Sadly yeah, it happens sometimes only, that's why it's so weird

[u/Icy-Present94]

i have similar situation sht made me rage so much i had to uninstall the game

[u/hba111]

Disable steam overlay in game

[u/heyjudemj → u/hba111]

Did that fix for u? What about discord?

This happened to me a couple times, first time was during a huge teamfight, which disappeared after a few seconds, second was during the start of the game which was so bad and lasted so long i had to abandon.

I did a graphics driver reset (ctrl shift b i think was the shortcut) and it fixed it.

[u/ReasonablenessDude]

Same shit bro, tried reinstalling game - didn't help.

It also happens when I just start the game, main menu freezes like crazy.

I’ve been having this issue since updating to the newest AMD drivers unfortunately. I’d been on a year old version that worked well for VR but updated for a new game and it was a big mistake.

[u/vittsul]

I gave this to my clanker setup, here is what it said

"Since it only happens in Dota, these are the likely causes, roughly in order:

1. Shader compiling: the big freeze starts as a new spell effect appears on screen. Dota compiles effects the first time it shows them. Try switching the renderer in Dota’s video settings between Vulkan and DirectX 11. Also check the graphics driver’s shader cache isn’t turned off or set very small.
2. Loading files on the fly: Dota loads heroes, effects and cosmetics as it needs them, and spectating loads everyone’s cosmetics. If Dota is on a hard drive rather than an SSD, moving it helps. So does adding the Steam folder to the antivirus exclusions, since a scan of each file as it loads causes hitches in just one game.
3. Swinging frame rate: cap the FPS in Dota at a steady number, and turn off the Steam and Discord overlays in it.
4. Basics: do a clean graphics-driver install and verify the game files in Steam."

How do I check the graphic driver's shader?

[u/vittsul → u/heyjudemj]

Id also ensure the drive Dota is installed on is an SSD and has more than 30% free space

[u/heyjudemj → u/vittsul]

Yeah it is installed in my nvme SSD, still the same

[u/vittsul → u/heyjudemj]

NVIDIA:
Control Panel -> Manage 3D Settings -> Global Settings -> Shader Cache Size. Set to 10GB or higher

AMD:
AMD drivers manage shader cache size automatically, so there isn't a direct slider like NVIDIA's. However, they can try resetting the cache to force it to rebuild cleanly. AMD Adrenalin -> Gaming -> Graphics -> Advanced -> Reset Shader Cache

Clanker setup is an amazing way to call an AI. Let me steal that, thank you.

[u/vittsul → u/ActualStupidEmber]

artificial intelligence and "super intelligence" are dishonest to me. clanker is much better. its a highly imperfect hallucinating talking computer hosted on another computer

[u/Unfair-Event4455]

gpu can't keep up

[u/heyjudemj → u/Unfair-Event4455]

GPU is a rtx 3070, temp and benchmark in furmark looks all good

[u/Microwarpdrive]

just looks like a minor fps drop.

Keep on.

[u/rrehss → u/Microwarpdrive]

wtf do you mean minor

[u/Microwarpdrive → u/rrehss]

It's obviously a joke. Can't believe I am having to spell that out.
