Today i was messing around with some things to fix this issue and i remembered, in Escape From Tarkov something i used to do was disable SMT/Hyperthreading. (AMD = SMT/ Intel = Hyperthreading, its the same thing)
Tried it today for new world and it completely fixes all stuttering for me in all areas of the game and told a lot of others to try it and they all cannot thank me enough.
Theres 2 ways you can do this, you can do it in Bios, or you can download a free application called “Process Lasso” which is basically task manager but way better.
I recommend process lasso because you can change it on the fly without restarting your PC etc or set it so it only does it for specific applications/games of your choice.
In Process Lasso to do it you just have to
right click NewWorld.EXE > CPU Affinity > All > Disable SMT/Hyperthreading (depending on if you are AMD/Intel)
as a bonus at the top you can click on “Main” and check the “Pro Balance” button which is basically just making sure nothing in the background is using resources while gaming.
Leave process lasso running in the background minimized while playing, it uses absolutely no resources and gives you performance.
Try it its free, safe and just as easy to revert.
Enjoy no more stutters
Edit: Keep in mind if you have ancient hardware that is simply not good enough for this game you will still have issues, though it may still help you.
thank you hopefully people will try it, quite a few games do not like hyperthreading/smt. Tarkov, black desert online just to name a few, and now we know that New World can be added to that list to disable it.
i have not but i have heard the same, don’t recall what games it was for though.
Something else i do in all games these days is i end task on the crashhandler process too, in Overwatch it caused stutters so i end crashuploader process by default in all games now.
I would rather deactivate SMT completely and use CO in BIOS or PBO2 Tuner to set -30 on each core.
Most CPUs should be able to go that low with deactivated SMT.
I wouldn’t do that, if you don’t know exactly how your CPU is tied to the cache.
As far as i remember for Ryzen you loose out some cache if New World can only run on 7 cores.
PS:
But if you got a ryzen with 2 or more CCX I would limit New World to the cores of only 1 CCX if it got 6 or more cores.
I bet you’ll get a nice performance improvement.
not sure if you would have this setting if you do not have hyperthreading, but if you have a Nvidia graphics card you can go in to Nvidia control panel and set “threaded Optimisation” to off. and see if that helps at all.
