Summary0003418: (3.1 alpha) Stuttering ingame
DescriptionWhile ingame connecting to a 3.1 server (or single player) the game seems to stutter alot. It does not seem to matter which mods are in use or if you are just playing vanilla doom
Steps To ReproduceLoad a game in single player or connect to a 3.1 server with any mod (or no mods at all) to notice this.
Additional InformationIt's normal on 3.0 and runs smooth

I have not been able to check other OS's but it seems that both machines I have tested on (my machine and Michaelis) both run the same windows 10 build but different hardware specs. See the attached dxdiag text files for these.

 Forgot to mention, it also happens in software.

EDIT: Just had someone with windows XP test this on 3.1 and it happens there too

 I don't appear to have any noticable stuttering. Testing on straight up doom2 map01, it's as smooth as 3.0.

OS: Windows 7 Enterprise N (SP1)
CPU: i5-4460
RAM: 16GB DDR3-1600
GPU: Radeon RX 580 (8GB; Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.4.1)

 Now that I've said I don't get struttering, I get stuttering. It's like my FPS is halved. Very weird...

 I have a working fix, turns out the polled timer on windows (that is being used since 0003334) gives incorrect values for "TicStart" and "TicNext" making the "I_GetTimeFrac" function return wrong values.
I replaced the calculation for TicStart and TicNext and basically ended up with what GZDoom does after the timer refactor which made everything smooth again.
I guess we'll have to discuss how to fix this in a dev meeting.

 The fix was pulled for windows but some testing is in order on Linux.

 Tested on Zandronum 3.1-alpha-180520-0650 online and offline

The suttering is still there, but is not as severe as before.

To prove that the suttering is not completely gone, i had to do this:

In console, bind "Turn180" to any key

Spam such key and you will notice your screen suttering.

(This doesnt happen in 3.0 and lower versions of zandronum)

Edit1: The suttering is even worse if you try to move while spamming turn180

 Does this mean that you only get stuttering when using turn180?

 Its hard to tell, sometimes i might get a very small, almost unnoticeable suttering while playing randomly, but as i stated above, spamming turn180 while moving reproduces such suttering a lot often.

Answering your question, no, i dont get suttering by only using turn180.

 I too seem to get the visual stuttering in 3.1-alpha 180520-0650 when using turn180 with cl_capfps 0. It seems to be a GZDoom issue, as it also happens in GZDoom 3.5.0.

EDIT:

Made a bug report on the ZDoom forums:'https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=61986 [^]'

Since the main issue was fixed here, let's continue the discussion on the other ticket that deals with the tick desyncs between clients and the server.
