NVIDIA GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 516.79

I don't know. I was seeing other reports from competitor cards before. Here is an example:

No, Stray defaults to DX11 on Windows 11, too (at least on my PC, if it doesn't, you should be able to use the -dx11 command line option to force it).

That said, DX12 (when forced via -dx12 command line option) seems to have "broken" lighting/shadows (they just don't look "right" in all areas) on the 3090 and the performance is abysmal (~35-40FPS compared to ~120FPS in DX11 at 3840x2160 with all details maxed out). It seems DX12 mode in this game is unfinished, which is why it defaults to DX11.

I do get serious stutter even in DX11 when new stuff loads in, however. These are game/engine issues, though, and the developers said they were working on a fix. We'll see if they can succeed, as it's just a small team and fixing UE4 performance issues on PC doesn't appear to be easy even for large development teams.

 

Yeah i have the exact same error reports as whats on the steam forums. Thats indeed allot of similar problems.

 

Stray in DX12 runs with somewhat broken and unoptimized ray tracing enabled by default. To disable it, just open your engine.ini (found in C:\Users\***yourusernamehere***\AppData\Local\Hk_project\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor ) and paste this at the bottom:

[SystemSettings]
r.RayTracing=False

Your framerate should be back to decent values, even better than DX11 (at least for me, and I have an RTX 3090 too).

 

Having issues with assetto corsa competizione. Hdr has gone out of whack colours our washed out and brightness is overblown. Happens with the windows insiders 525.14 drivers aswell. Rolled back to 512.95. As it was the last good driver for me. Play a lot of destiny 2 and acc.

 

Stray stuttering analysis. 11 mins of gameplay on RTX 3090 + 12700K + DDR5-6200 C30.
2 critical spikes when the level starts. Besides that some barley noticable (FreeSync enabled) spikes >30ms.
Subjectively speaking, the game doesn't have stuttering issues.

Factually, this is incorrect.

 

I'll take the tried and trusted analysis of CapframeX over a 73 post user with questionable system configuration.

 

Most definitely, sir guru.

But, 30ms+ ocurrences, though? Hmm...

 

Tried with Vulkan, RTSS to cap fps at what you minimum can get and disable v-sync if that minimum is way below refresh?

How to enable vulkan in stray?

 

You'll have to use DXVK to accomplish that.

 

Yup 30ms frame time spikes are perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Everyone else is obviously wrong and the game does not stutter.

 

Care to show me how?

 

No idea, I've only been using it on Steam Deck where Proton took care of it. I'm sure there are Tutorials on the web that explain how to do it manually, though.

 

Get latest version (1.10.2 at the moment) from https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases
dxvk-1.10.2.tar.gz -direct link.
What it does is convert DirectX to Vulkan (designed for Linux but works in some/most games on Windows too).

How: Place the correct files from the archive in the same folder as the game's exe ("...\Stray\Hk_project\Binaries\Win64\Stray-Win64-Shipping.exe" I do believe is the layout for Unreal Engine games). Run the game and if you have set DXVK_HUD = 1 you'll know right off if it's working by the HUD showing up.

My notes I took last time I fooled with it:
(note: Stray = 64 bit, Directx 11 game)

Code:

Use 32 or 64 bit if the game (not the OS) is.

Add these if desired @ Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables > System Variables:
DXVK_HUD = 1 (shows an info overlay)
DXVK_ASYNC = 1 (I forgot what this does, something like v-sync? Stutter reduction?)

files to copy to game folder (by game's directx version):
9   d3d9.dll
10   d3d10.dll, d3d10_1.dll, d3d10core.dll, d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll
11   d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll

Disadvantage: If you like to use ReShade, it tends to overwrite the dx*.dll (dxgi.dll) that ReShade uses and breaks that. So, one or the other, or figure out how to make reshade use a renamed DLL? Or have to set it up to use DXVK instead of DirectX...not sure.

EDIT: Tried this in Stray and it worked, but just made the occasional stuttering much worse.

 

Thanks for the explanation ,it is very helpful and working

 

glade worked for you don't forget like and subscribed my channel

 

Since a few days a new Rtx 3060 Card 12 GB DDR6 vRam, witch is payable for me, clean windows install, now this driver runs as it should, without side effects on other games witch i had with the GTX card

Amazing graphis, Raytracing and DLSS.
