Simple Stuttering Fix [Possibly outdated]

Introduction

Edit: Not sure if this works anymore, but according to people in the comments, vjoy seems to work way better, so try that instead :)

If you ran into constant framerate stuttering every 2 seconds or so while running around, this could fix your problems.

I am actually using this fix since the Steam release of FF13 last year, but seeing that still so many people struggle with the (not so) few hickups the PC-Port has, I decided to give you a quick guide on how to improve your gameplay experience by prioritizing the executable for FF13.

This also works for FF13-2.

Getting Started

Start the game normally through Steam.

Click on "Start Game" in the launcher.

Skip the intro and wait until you are at the title screen.

Further Steps

Press "Alt-Tab" on your keyboard to get back to your desktop (Don't close the game!).

Open your Task Manager. To do this, simply right click on your taskbar and click on "Task-Manager" (obviously).

Alternatively, use the Process Explorer[technet.microsoft.com] .

Select the tab "Details" on the right.

Now look for "ffxiiimg.exe". This is basically the executable for FF13(obviously).

Right click on the exe, select "Set Priority" and choose "Realtime".

Note: If it constantly jumps back to "high priority", try running "Process Explorer" with admin rights.

This will essentially focus your CPU and all of its cores on the game.

I don't really know why the stuttering appears in the first place, but it has to something with FF13 not using enough of your processor's power.

Results

Close the Task Manager and Alt-Tab back into the game.

Start a new game or press "Load Game" to see if it helped.

If done right (and you are lucky), the stuttering will be gone and the game will run a lot smoother overall.

Important Note

This does not change the priority of the exe permanently.

Everytime you start the game, you need to change the priority of the "ffxiiimg.exe" to real time again.

If you want to change priority permanently, consider checking out This Site[www.raymond.cc] .

However, most of these programs won't work under Win10, so I can't get them to work at the moment :(
