    It doesn't help. The issue is that Unity leaves no room for anything else to use graphics memory. So you gotta lower the amount of fps the graphics card can produce.

    Maybe they were thinking of this person. Although that is 3, not 2. ;)

    Thanks, I found the link to the tool, but it took a while. :)

    Ah, my graphics card is MSI rebundled so I can use their afterburner program to do this via RivaStatistics Server. :)

    I have a decent rig, with 32GB RAM and 8GB of GPU RAM, I constantly have hitching... from the start when I launch SotA.
    What did help a little bit is disabling HyperThreading.

    I have a card with 6gb onboard memory, and 4 gb shared (laptop full sized 1060). Shroud never uses the shared, but before I did this FPS hard cap, I would be hitching near-constantly after 3-6 zone changes. Now, after the cap, I haven't hit FPS below 100 as long as I have tested.

    Yet, I still watch my video memory slowly balloon, it just hasn't happened to fill up all available since I've done this. I'll know more after extensive gaming during double XP.

    So they should set this on the unity build settings then:

    Just force 30fps through unity and disable QualitySettings.vSyncCount so that we can enable/disable vsync on our own machines if wanted.

    If anyone on GNU/Linux wants to test out if it really fixes it when capping the framerate. (I am currently on vacation and do not have access to my game rig).
    Code:
    git clone https://gitlab.com/torkel104/libstrangle.git
    cd libstrange
    make && sudo make install
    cd to your SotA directory
    sudo ldconfig
    export XMODIFIERS=""; VSYNC=1 strangle 30 ./Shroud\ of\ the\ Avatar.x86_64
