[2023] Game micro stutters whenever I move the camera with WASD

Right-click on stellaris.exe, properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullscreen optimizations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply, and exit.
Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select the fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, refresh rate 60 .


If that doesn't help:
DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log .  

Nerudin said: I already tried out the things you said before.

That's not what is shown in the settings files you sent in. Please make those changes and keep them there while we work on this. And ONLY test with a galaxy that's never had any mods used in it, thanks.

You may as well update that nVidia driver to August 2023

Download the latest official NVIDIA drivers

Download the latest official NVIDIA drivers www.nvidia.com and unload GeForce Experience before starting the game.

Any better?  

I was waiting for you to post on the results of the driver update you were going to do. I guess that did not help?

Does this happen right from the start of a new galaxy, or only in mid or late game play?

Does the size of galaxy matter?  

Make a new Windows user on this machine and log into it with that. Go into the Windows Startup settings and disable everything you can, and reboot. Does it still happen?

If so, is there any overclocking active on this machine? If so try undoing that.  

That is disappointing, I don't have a lot more to suggest.

Would it be possible to borrow a different video card from somewhere to test out? It's a long shot I know!  

I can't seem to get that gif, maybe a short movie instead?

Does this affect our similar games CK2, EU4, HOI4, that I see you have?  

You mentioned originally that the game stutters extremely when you pan around, but in that movie I really had to pay attention to see any stuttering at all!

Does it faithfully show what you are seeing with your eyes? I know that movies don't always.

And, is it only when using the keys this happens? What about edge scrolling for instance?

Does it happen at all zoom levels? In galaxy view and solar system view?  

I don't know why this is happening to you, I am sorry, I see nothing wrong in any file to explain it. Especially why just this game, and why just on this machine not your old one.

There was another new nVidia driver a few days ago - did that help at all? As always make sure Geforce Experience is unloaded.
