Hey there, that's fantastic news!
Do we have an ETA on 0.47 release?

Sorry to necro this but I'm still having a little bit of trouble running 0.46: It seems like whenever a new sound file (NPC bark, spell sound, death sound, creature sound, you name it) plays, my game stutters as if trying to load it beforehand. This only happens with sounds I still haven't encounter...

This is the laptop I'm running OpenMW on, just for reference. Mine is the Ryzen 7 one, with the Radeon 540.

Bro you're a HERO
Turning off this navigation setting completely got rid of the crazy chugging I was getting, I can even play the game with vsync on now!
Thank you so much!

Still on the stable build, this is the result of me just spinning around in place in Caldera. I really have no idea why this runs so poorly

EDIT - Well sh*t, I'm on 0.45 now and the stutter is absolutely gone even when running around the game world. I'm truly at a loss here.

Thanks for the heads up. Do I just download the latest unreleased build every few days or so?

I'm not using any kind of frame limiter right now, since activating that seemed to make the stuttering even worse. I'm not using any kind of vsync either. How do I get this latest build? Is there something like a beta branch of OpenMW that I need to sign up for? I'm definetely interested in giving i...

I mean that, from what I've read from people that were also experiencing this kind of heavy stuttering, downgrading back to 0.45 was a solution.
I haven't tried it, mind you. I have no idea how having 2 versions of OpenMW would work since they'd both use the same user files.

I believe so, yeah. It's very weird, because I can get 120+ fps pretty much anywhere in the game, but it still chugs like a b*tch whenever someone casts magic, barks at me when I pass by or during combat. A weird thing is that it doesn't seem to happen at all right after I've installed the game, whi...

Well that's really weird since I'm running OpenMW on an SSD.
I've tried everything that the documentation said might help, from lowering the target framerate to increasing the sound cache size, but to no avail.
Guess I'll have to live with it, but boy for a 20 year old game this thing sure is taxing.
