If you play Gujian 3 and the game just keep stuttering, this guide will explain why and show you how to solve the stuttering porblem, Let’s check it out.
Accept the 3 truths
Accept Exclusive FullscreenBy default the game is windowed and gsync doesn’t work, it also just makes 2 and 3 easier.
Truth 2
Accept 60FPS
Sadly, while the game works properly at high frame-rates, logic wise, the camera doesn’t update properly past 60FPS and will always stutter. That’s why the frame-times are actually fine out the gate in spite of the stutter, because it’s the engine itself.
Truth 3
Accept 60Hz
You also need to force the refresh rate to match, otherwise, every fixed time interval depending on your actual refresh rate, you will get a single “skip” because the refresh rate ticks aren’t aligned with the frame-rate “on every beat”.
Ascend
TL;DR use SpecialK
Force Exclusive Fullscreen, 60FPS cap and 60Hz refresh rate, and the game will run completely smoothly.
Detailed Explenation
1. Install SpecialK SKIM64 [github.com] and migrate to the Test branch (after installation, switch branch in Special K Install Manager).
Start the game with SpecialK injection on, just leave it in the tray running. SpecialK creates a profile for the game, the shortcut to open the GUI in-game is Ctrl + Shift + Backspace. There you can turn on the frame-rate limit which is already 60FPS by default under “frame limiting”.
2. I prefer to force fullscreen in the .ini as it’s usually smoother than trying to force it while games are running. Go to C:\Users\username\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\古剑奇谭三(Gujian3) (or wherever you installed SpecialK) and edit SpecialK.ini, set: ForceFullscreen=true. You also need to force 60Hz in the same file: RefreshRate=60.
