Could you provide us with your output_log.txt file, a dxdiag report and one of your diagnostics*.html files? 

In order to investigate this issue, we need these files ^^

I have a similar issue but only when I am playing big maps with 8 factions.  I am running a dual-core i5 @ 2.50 GHz.  I believe the problem stems from the clock speed not being able to keep up with the computing.  I seem to see the same pattern when people discuss this issue.  People are running systems that barely meet the clock speed requirement (i.e. 2.4 GHz, 2.5 GHz).  I strongly suspect this is the root of the issue as it only occurs for after a specific range of turns (mine starts around 90-100 consistently).  When I encounter these issues, I check my Task Manager/Resource Monitor and every time it shows high CPU usage.

It is also worth noting that I did not experience this on one occasion (under the specific rules of Huge Map + 8 Factions).  This was when I played through as the Cultists. In this play through I never experienced even the slightest stutter.

I am having the same problems all the sudden it seems.  

GeForce GTX 960

AMD Phenom II x4 970 

16GB ram

Playing on 1920x1080 but even when I change the settings the stutter still happens.

Please let me know if you need anything more or if you find the issue:)

Thank you for your time.

Any update on this?  I found a few more people on the steam forums having the same issue and have sent them this direction.

I am having this problem as well. I was playing a large map with 6 players and the stuttering occurs after about 60 turns. Ending a turn slows the stuttering but after panning or zooming it quickens again. My rig setup is i7 4770k, 2x R9 Nano, 16gb RAM. The Steam forum community led me here and there are many who are having the same problem. Please fix this Amplitude, I love this game.

80-90C is IMHO a lot!

My OCed 4790K is hovering around 70-75C when I run the Intel Burn Test, and way below that in games.

The stuttering is then probably due to the CPU being throttled in order to keep the temps somewhat in check.

Can you perhaps check that your cooling solution is running properly?

Now, looking into this, the issue is not uniform.



For example, when I switched to my other save (normal/6 players), which is late game turn 202 winter, there is no shuttering. With frame limiter, fps is constant 31fps (+/-0.1fps).



While in my current game at 88 turn winter, there is shuttering (normal/8 players).
