Weird stutter issue in CSGO

[Corvax]

I have this weird stutter issue only in CSGO.
The fps is stable and high 300+. but I get these microstutters every few seconds.

I have tried basically everything that I could find on stutter issues for CSGO.
By running afterburner, I found something very interesting. The frametime stutters appear whenever any input to USB devices are sent. Frametimes are perfect when standing completely still, and even turning around only with the mouse. However if i click a button on the mouse, keyboard or even change volume on the wireless headset, I get a stutter (from 5ms stable to a short 25ms stutter). If I move in one direction, I instantly get a stutter when pressing the button, then a stutter occurs every 4 seconds until I stop moving. The stutter also happens when clicking buttons that are not binded or in any form used by CSGO.

I was thinking it could be a foulty USB driver or port. BUT, the “funny” part is that it is only CS that stutters. No issue in other games.
At this point, I dont know what to do. Maybe someone can help?

I would tackle the monitors first, unplug the 240Hz screen and try with only the 60Hz. Often times screens of varying refresh rates can cause the other to have issues when motion is present on both. Note anything you notice when doing this while trying each screen with the other unplugged.

If that is not your issue, please proceed with the following steps (you could do them even if that is the issue, these are basic “housekeeping” for computers).

1. Run Disk Cleanup (check all the boxes) this will delete things such as your recycling bin, so make sure you don’t have any files you want to keep.

Run Defragment and Optimize Drives, run this on your drives.

1. Disable any overclocking or changes to power/performance settings

Turn off XMP/any overclocking you may have done (if any)

Settings > System > Power and sleep > Additional power settings
Make sure your power plan is set to balanced, anything else could tamper with the wrong settings and cause issues.

1. Check for Operating System Corruption

Right click on the Windows logo in the bottom left and select Windows Powershell (Admin)
Run these three commands separately:

[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]sfc /scannow

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

These will take a while to run, do not close out of Powershell while they are running, if one fails then move onto the next and then loop back around.

Note: It doesn’t hurt to make a system backup before you make all these changes, save any important files of folders. While these changes shouldn’t cause any issues, better to be safe than sorry.

1. Unplug unnecessary devices.

If you have a gamepad, extra monitor, external hard drive/flash drive, or anything that is not essential to using the computer plugged in, unplug it. You should be left with your monitor, mouse and keyboard.

Once you have completed all of these tasks, restart it (using the restart option in the power menu) and re-test.
Note: When you re-test, unplug everything that is not essential, a single monitor, your keyboard and mouse. Unplug everything else so it cannot cause issues.

Please list the make and model of power supply you have in your computer.

Thanks for the quick reply
I did all the steps except for uninstalling these two:
NVIDIA Telemetry Client - 16.15.2.0
NVIDIA TelemetryApi helper for NvContainer - 1.37

I was not able to see them in geekuninstaller.
For Nvidia, I first ran DDU, and afterwards installed “clean” and only the graphicsdriver none of the optionals.

No changes for the stuttering.[/color][/color][/color][/color][/color][/color]

Thanks for your time
Tried each monitor separately, on different hz settings. Same results.

Performed all the changes, tweaks and scans listed, and removed any external devices. Run with one screen.
The stuttering still occurs.

Malwarebytes:
Installed to run a scan as part of this investigation. (Same with driverbooster). Uninstalled both now.[/color]

Did you play CS:GO before your installation of Windows 11?

Did you ever experience something similar?

Where are your peripherals plugged in?

If they are in the front, plug them into the back, and vice-versa. This should help us rule out any problematic ports.

Yes, afterthought that I should have mentioned that… sry about that.
I did have the stutters on win10 first, then still had stutters after a clean install of win11.

I did not do any thorough analysis at that time, just pretty quickly decided to format. Didnt help.

Tried the front USB port (cabinet port), same issue.

Lets get some other input, a new speccy scan might help to get the help in on where exactly you’re at.

@Bruce @Malnutrition

[Bruce]

you all have covered the areas I would have suggested.
I’m thinking the issue may simply be with the game itself, and how they have coded the input from peripherals.
or at least, your specific keyboard/mouse/headset.
as a quick test, have you tried another USB wired, cheap mouse?
have you tried playing without the headset?

[Malnutrition]

Could also try running KillEmAll before you game. This program will stop all non essential programs from running on your computer, it will close everything including your browser, so save anything you are working on prior to running it.

Save it to your desktop, then right click and run as admin prior to launching your game. It will close everything, and then launch and play your game.

---

Also, could try Easy Service Optimizer.

Download unzip to desktop, then select Tweaked mode and then hit the little rocket icon from within the program. If you connect via wireless then you will need to enter the following commands in command prompt.

So you will need to enter these commands in Elevated Command prompt after running Easy Service Optimizer, if you so choose to run it.

Copy and paste each command one at a time and hit enter after.

sc start WlanSvc

sc config WlanSvc start= auto

---

Could also try a clean boot.
As well you could try and disconnnect your secondary Drive just to test if it is causing the issue, doubt it but worth a shot.

[Bruce]

@Corvax - you have revisited but not responded, do you still need help?
