Some reports of FMV stuttering #766

I could confirm that watching a stream.

There are some reports that setting CPU affinity to one core resolves this issue, however I have not had success with it at all. I have tried all kinds of different settings and combinations of settings in the launcher and the .ini file but nothing will resolve the stuttering. The freezes/stuttering gets worse the longer the FMV's play, eventually becoming so bad that they are unwatchable.

The only difference playing with settings seemed to make was that the issue is slightly less bad when the frame rate is set to 15/30fps, but it's still an issue.

Another thing to note is that it's solely a visual issue. The sound from FMV's plays consistently without issue.

Win10 64bit i7-8700K 1080Ti 32GB RAM

Happy to troubleshoot more with suggestions.

Edit:

I've played around a little more and I've found a workaround that mostly works. The stuttering is now minimal and each "freeze" is much shorter, but more importantly, the stuttering doesn't get any worse as the video progresses, which was the big problem previously. The FMV's gradually became completely unwatchable before and now the stuttering is noticable but not too bad.

I forced Triple Buffering in NVidia Inspector and set the following values in the Memoria.ini file:

MenuFPS = 15 MenuTPS = 15

Hopefully this workaround can shed some light onto the cause and assist in a permanent fix.

Edit2:

Nevermind. Just tried it again without changing a single setting and it's stuttering like crazy again. This is an extremely frustrating problem that doesn't seem to follow any set rules. Unfortunate, since I bought the game with the intention of playing it with mods, but that's not possible unless I pretty much skip FMVs.

The FMV stuttering is happening to me too, at first it was at random intervals but watching more FMVs cause at some point to begin stuttering like crazy. Maybe its some change on the way Memoria handles FMVs that needs to be disabled temporary until a fix is found?
