maybe windows is being a cock with their constant shitty updates, i had constant stutter in tf2 and other games aswell since a few days ago and doing a clean windows install fixed it

try removing custom files / launch options and using the -default launch option, if that fails try unistalling your graphics drivers with DDU and seeing if that fixes it.

my microstutter never actually stopped so i've been living with it for the past 2 months, but i think i have finally found the solution. after 2 months or more of this shit, my tf2 now runs smooth like butter

https://i.imgur.com/7FF6qYS.png

mat_queue_mode was set to 2 by default in my gfx cfg, but I have since changed it to -1 and all microstutter has disappeared.

i dont know why it was at 2 by default when it is noted in the config that it can cause microstutter, but at least i have solution now. If anyone else has a similar problem with microstutter, I would suggest changing this cvar from 2. I chose -1 because it's what is suggested in the config notes, but others may work too.

(its worth noting that i use comanglia cfg, but when i changed to mastercomfig the microstutter persisted, so that must also use mat_queue_mode 2)

Quite an interesting fix.

Though I should clarify for you that the "stutters" reported with mat_queue_mode 2 are for 1000+FPS which most people never get near in a populated server anyway unless they go to some far corner of the map no one is at and look down. Even then "fps_max 999" would prevent this issue anyway (fps_max non-zero can cause stutters on some PCs usually it doesn't though)

Sidenote: 1000FPS is easily achievable on high-end systems with fps configs in local servers where there's few to no bots and the stutter is really noticeable. Oddly sv_cheats 1 seems to resolve this...

Also several of the bugs with having mat_queue_mode 2 and watching demos have been fixed.

yes sir, i play jump servers a lot so i reach close to 600-900 fps often. i would think that is close enough to 1k fps to cause microstutter, maybe not though. disabling hardware acceleration entirely was another fix i saw, which is just setting it to single threaded mode instead of multi threaded as far as i could tell. mat_queue_report also tells when there is a thread stall which is nice.

I will take a look at that post, i don't think i came across it when searching for solutions before.
