Re: NBA2K16 PC Stuttering

Oddly enough I'm running an i5 2500k and a GTX 970 and I'm getting the same satisfactory performance that I got in 2K15. Constant 80+ fps with no drops below 60 all maxed 1080p (no supersampling). I haven't updated my drivers in awhile so perhaps that's why. I'm running the 353.62 driver.

You can get a DxDiag.txt by running dxdiag (just press the Windows key or click on the start menu and type in dxdiag and run it) and then click on "Save All Information..."
You can get your VideoSettings.cfg by opening Explorer and going to %appdata%\2K Sports\NBA 2K16.

Also, if you open your VideoSettings.cfg file in Notepad, do you see your main graphics card (AMD/NVidia) there or is it the onboard one (e.g. Intel)?

Another thing, does switching to Full Screen Windowed instead of Full Screen help?

I'll try to pass on as much information as I can.

I'm also experiencing lag, stuttering and general slow play - even on the lower settings. Oddly enough, the aforementioned holds true for me also. Online play is really fast in contrast...close to hyper-speed. Can't play that either. I'm a patient man but I can't hide my disappointment, being that I dropped $85 on this game. On top of the lack of VC coins and other Jordan edition privileges - this is pretty frustrating. Clearly these issues are larger than (and cannot be attributed to or resolved by) one man. That said - Leftos, is there any quick fix or soon come resolution for these issues? As asked earlier, 'is there an way to apply online settings to the video settings'?

It even stutters on the loading screen....
i've been optimistic that this game is gonna bounce back from last years garbage. But i guess it got worse..

Shame on 2K for messing up performance once again. This is why people pirate your stuff.

Try this: viewtopic.php?f=163&t=99743

Worked for me (Y) The only moment when I still see stuttering is right after quarter when then quarter highlights is being shown together with the score. Otherwise - now its smooth as butter (Y)

It only stutters for me in online mode (not mypark, just in online matches). I don't know if it's a server or a cpu issue. I don't have the fastest machine out there (Q6600, ATI 280) but 2k15 ran pretty smoothly with medium settings. 2k16 seems to run smooth for me in myplayer mode and slightly laggy when I play a regular single-player game. But I get like 5 frames per second when I'm online.

i5 2500k
gtx 970
8gb ram
Windows 10 64bit

Vsync off in game forced in Nvidia Control Panel
Pre rendered frames 1 (nvidia control panel)
Works great during gameplay(almost no stuttering at all), stutters on replays and cutscenes
Btw all ingame graphics settings are maxed except for Multisampling and Buffer set to 1
I believe that the combination of vsync and press rendered frames does the job
Hope it helps

Here is my dxdiag.txt and videosettings.cfg...The stuttering is major, game is literally unplayable.

I haven't experienced any stuttering in NBA 2K16. Have any of you updated to the latest Nvidia drivers if you have a nvidia gpu? My specs are :

i7 4790K
Gigabyte GTX 980 Gaming G1
12 GB ram
Windows 10.

I would probably uninstall the graphics drivers completely and reinstall them to see if that helps.

I actually checked my AMD settings and noticed it was on multisampling, so I switched it to supersampling and it's running as smooth as butter. I only had minimal micro-stuttering but just by changing that, there's a noticeable difference.

Crowd detail is the biggest performance hog. Putting it to low has made all the difference in the world. Pretty much smooth as hell now.

I just hate that "crowd detail" doesn't actually take a way detail to make it perform better, it just get's rid of half the people. I want smooth gameplay but I don't really want empty seats.

I've been seeing a lot of feedback that switching to Full Screen Windowed makes a big difference in smoothness. I've informed the team, but I'd like to know if that has helped you guys and gals as well.

I've can confirm that as well, I had noticeable stuttering in window mode. When I switch to fullscreen, most of it went away, maybe here and there in some cutscenes.

Hey Leftos, it's definitely the crowd causing the micro-stuttering for me, I've got a GTX 970, 3.9ghz Blah blah blah (don't have dxdialog attachments, at work, or kinda i guess ha -- ill try to post later), anyways, if you turn crowd off, the game is smooth as heck -- crowd on: stutters in transition, around half-court 60fps to about 46-50fps... I remember it did this last year, and all I had to do was re-confirm the affinity on the cpu cores and it was fixed, not so much this year. windowed full screen + vsync in game off, force on elsewhere seems to help a little, but it's not a complete fix, still 49-50fps in transition half-court. Great game otherwise, thanks for everything, hopefully we can get a fix!

Leftos, that's definitely something related between the crowd and the stuttering. I turned down to medium and now the game is stutter free.

Gameplay is great. Congratulations.

My biggest gripes so far:

Sweat progression broken in 12 min qtrs

Random crash to the desktop. Sometimes happens when entering the options menu. kind of crazy thing

Random Stuttering.

Re: NBA2K16 PC Stuttering

for me the problem is undoubtedly the crowd if the crowd off the fps up and the game goes smoothly. I hope you can fix because playing without public is awful :(

Yes, it did a difference for me.
But still, I would get a lot of FPS drops when any team would be approaching the other's team 3pt line - no fps drops on transition whatsoever, so I had to turn down the V-Sync and set the buffer count to 1. Now it runs smooth in game, but some cutscenes still have stuttering (at the beginning of the game for example, between quarters replays - excluding the halftime show which doesn't have any problem.)

Same for me but fullscreen windowed did nothing. Just buffer count to 1 and vsync from nvidia panel works but also stutter in cutscenes.

It did a difference, not a big one with Vsync on and buffercount to 1. But you could notice something is different, somehow. I hope it is not just a placebo effect.

For Leftos:
I confirm, the crowd is the primary cause of wild stuttering during the game.
For stuttering in cutscene I think the problem is another.

Re: NBA2K16 PC Stuttering

It's really strange that sometimes there's some strange random stuttering. I have nothing running background. Crazy!!!

Re: NBA2K16 PC Stuttering

Mon Sep 28, 2015 2:19 pm

Good thing they know the cause and are probably working on it. It can be solved, right ?

Basically I don't see any difference between 'Full Screen Windowed' and 'Full Screen'. Besides I have experienced some issues with VSync. When 'ON' the game is crashing instanly in Menu or in any game mode. When 'OFF', the game is running but the stuttering is visible. The screen is not refreshing correctly and it feels like game is slowing with every minute. There is also another problem. When You set the Supersample to 0 in Video Settings, it comes back to 1 after saving. Even if this is set to 0 in the videoconfig file in AppData, the results are the same.
