[Issue] Cutscenes still stutter after FusionFix 2.0

Cutscene stuttering is still present after FF 2.0. Cutscene zooming was indeed fixed, but jitter is still there. How it should look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yltP_dYU3mE

Just for the record removing cutscenes.rpf from GTA IV\pc\audio\sfx fixes the issue but removes the sounds from game cutscenes

I've been messing around with cutscene FPS cap limits and not even 30FPS solves anything here.

I know. This stutter is present at any framerate.

The issue has been tackled with latest the update. Stutter is still there however. Nowhere near a full fix. I can confirm it's a bit smoother.

Still stutters like the old version..

In some ways... Maybe because I also upgraded my GPU... (probably Enhanced Sync and other things influence it...)

Is there any identified reason it does this? It's quite annoying given how story focused the game is.

Actually not yet. There's countless theories about it in the previous thread tho https://github.com/ThirteenAG/GTAIV.EFLC.FusionFix/issues/58

Can someone test this build for this issue?

I can, give me a moment.

Actively better, this time round it doesn't seem as if the animations are stuttering, rather they're running at a different FPS.

TailsGuy avatar Jan 15 '24 07:01 TailsGuy

Is it something good enough to include in the next release?

Hm. Honestly, yeah, go for it. It's a notable improvement. It ain't completely fixed but it's satisfactory for now. Needs more research for sure though

TailsGuy avatar Jan 15 '24 07:01 TailsGuy

Its not fixed, just moved cutscenes.rpf away from its folder and compare, its nowhere near to that. Please dont prematurely close this ticket like the #58

Removing cutscenes.rpf doesn't make any difference to me.

ThirteenAG avatar Jan 15 '24 12:01 ThirteenAG

Damn, I must have been mistaken, sorry. It's still in fact stuttery but I figured it wasn't as intense. Maybe it varies on a case by case?

with and without said rpf feels absolutely same https://streamable.com/urj6hs https://streamable.com/4c3cum (using asi from this issue)

Even from your recordings the microstuttering is visible

Undisputed00x avatar Jan 15 '24 12:01 Undisputed00x

Nope. Still not fixed. The animations do seem smoother a bit... but now, they look like they play flat out at a 30hz smoothness instead of constantly fluctuating... They still stutter. Will have to try without cutscenes.rpf

im not arguing that, im only pointing out that removing cutscenes.rpf does nothing

It does for me: (even with this asi) https://streamable.com/n1cl70 Set your screen to 60hz for the best result

And this is with the fix above: https://streamable.com/q321zb

For the second one, it looks smooth but it looks like 30fps... you might have recorded it at that fps The first one does have stutters tho... I can clearly see it.

That's what I see without fixes, and this is what I don't see with asi above.

That trembling? I'm pretty much talking about the overall cutscene smoothness, tho I've seen that tremble in the intro when the car (schafter) is being lifted, even with this .asi... that's a good section to test on.

Again, this is how smooth cutscenes should look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yltP_dYU3mE And again, watch it at 60hz.

No difference. Car still trembles. https://streamable.com/lz865v

Not as much for me. But I did restore previous version of cutscene fix for this test, dunno if related.
