Bad hitching/stuttering

I can also confirm on the xbox series x performance is not good at all. I can still enjoy the game but highly frustrating. Like most people say, it seems to have that stutter right before the save icon appears.  Going into a city is a nightmare.  Fighting zombies with framerate drops and stuttering is difficult resulting in getting infected all the time. How about giving us a graphic option with 1080p locked 60fps? I would take framerate over resolution. 

 
I have the PlayStation 5 version. Very bad stuttering. I played for a while, but it just seems to get worse and worse. I cannot play this game. Going back to the PC version. This is horrible.

 
Playing by myself I have occasional lag spikes but definitely playable. It gets worse the more zombies that are around. Tier 5&6 missions are sometimes a complete stutter fest. None the less the game is still fun and playable. 
 

When 2 of us are doing a tier 6 mission it gets much worse. Add in a 3rd player into our party and the game hard freezes for 3-5 seconds at a time. Alpha 15 did not lag this bad. 
 

is this just an Xbox issue or is PS having similar issues? And are there things in the works to address this issue?

I’ve also had a game crash while lagging in a large hub while riding my minibike. When I logged back in my mini bike was gone. It gave me PTSD from the old alpha days hahaha. 
 

P.S. SylenThunder stop being a douche bag when replying to peoples posts. It’s not needed or necessary. Don’t alienate the supporters of this game that have waited years to support you once again. Thanks. 

 
I think I saw this suggestion in a reddit post, someone recommended enabling motion blur under video options if you disabled it. I tried it and it doesn't completely fix the issue but does make it happen less often.

 
 Hey so first issue is high ping both our connections are amazing and never had issues in other games but the ping for my friend goes crazy high then goes back to normal can happen just a few times or alot .  Also when doing quest for infested we seem to have frame rate drop  if there are alot of zombies to the point  we get kinda screwed over anything that can be dome for either of those things?

 
I've been playing for a handful of days now, after having played on Xbox One some years back, and I also suffer this stuttering issue.  Knock on wood, it hasn't been so awful to discourage me from playing it yet, but it's a real downer.  I am really hoping to see some kind of fix or workaround or something.  I'm following this topic just in case.

 
Yeah I am with you on that. If I didn't have the PC version, I would definitely be playing it on console. The performance sucks, but the game is good enough to suffer through it if that's all I had. But man, the PC version will spoil you rotten. Such a great experience.

 
I will add that PC also has what I think is the exact same stutter it's just generally far less noticeable 

 
Yeah you might be seeing the same thing. In my particular case, I don't have any stutter at all. I'm thinking it's because of the 5800 x3d processor I installed in my machine. Before, I had the 3700x, which is a good processor, and while I didn't notice stutter, I did get a fairly significant frame rate drop in cities. I'm wondering if it's because of the big ol' L3 cache on the x3d processor, which as far as I know, the CPU heavy 7 Days to Die game benefits from all that instant access memory. Whether or not that's the reason, once I stuck that thing in there, my game is smooth all the time.. and just for information, this is paired with the 3080 TI graphics card as well as 16 gigs of RAM. 

Anyway, I hope they do optimize the game for all platforms, because I want everyone to enjoy this game to the fullest. Just a great game

 
I am on a solo world and just finished day 28. The hitching is HORRIBLE! It happens every couple minutes, causing me to miss swings with my sledge or if I am trying to 'parkour' I end up falling and break my leg. 

It seems that anytime something is loaded such as loot in ANY container (player storage included) or when a new group of zombies is either spawned or 'activated'.

I will walk into a room and see some sleepers and shoot one to pull them into a choke point but when I do that I get several bad hitches that will clear up by the time they reach me. But if I do this with melee I will get hit several times before the hitching is done.

EDIT: This is in my solo world! In my three player world I just assumed it is the internet but I guess that is not the case.

Only every couple minutes?  Man, you're lucky.  For me it's several times per minute, not once every so many minutes.  Usually it seems to happen as I'm turning so instead of turning a bit I spin around wildly and get disoriented.  It's worst for me when I'm near my fields of spike traps around my base, as I run the risk of ending up impaled on my spikes.

Same here, Xbox Series X, the game just stutters like crazy.

Just by turning the camera around you can easily notice.

Also when you enter a building and the zombies are sleeping, when they wake up, the game freezes like really bad.

I hope the dev fixes these issues.

I'm on Xbox.  I don't really see much in the way of settings in the options menu.

In video settings it lists:

• Brightness

• Field of View

• Motion Blur

Then there's a UI tab with options for UI scale and opacity.  That's all I'm finding.

Ur field of view can cause alot cuz its rendering more in the players sight mines at like 75 or 80 and motion blur should be on 

 
I really hope there is major plans for improving performance on the ps5, me and my friends have just completed a horde and it was the most stressful and just generally disapointing how bad the game runs on horde night its literally unplayable ! Frames drop to what feels like 5fps, cant use your inventory then to top it off for some reason the game sends me like a million miles into the sky when tryin to flee the zombies. I also have upgraded my ssd in the ps5 so i shudnt be havin to put up with stuff like this its 2024!!! Love your game but god something needs to happen !

Horde nights are getting to be unplayable with the frames droppin so low, tier 5 and 6 missions are the exact same and you have to prey the game doesnt crash half way through one of these missions or you have to restart the mission after maybe using up half of your ammo and meds ! Please give stability update to ps5 or settings to lower graphics etc like you get on pc so we can help the game run better at an expense to the graphics, id rather the game ran well and looked worse than the game look good but run like ass.

 
Ouch.  It sounds like your PS5 experience is even worse than my Series X experience.  Knock on wood, I haven't yet noticed much difference during a Blood Moon versus any other time.  There have been some locations I've entered that seemed to somehow stress the engine, however, but it still wasn't as bad as what you've described.
