Протокол Каллисто – Как исправить заикание

Введение

Another game suffering from the dreaded lack of pre-compiled shaders. Luckily this game is running on Unreal so there are things that can be done on our end to help mitigate the issue until an official patch drops. Будьте осторожны, ваш пробег может отличаться.

These tweaks are not a magic bullet, but they’ve significantly reduced the frequency and duration of stutters when they do occur. I will also be updating this guide with additional tweaks as I am made aware of them.

Прежде чем мы начнем

First off here are my system specs for reference:

• Процессор: AMD R7 5800x
• БАРАН: 2x16GB DDR4-3200
• Boot Drive: 1TB PCIe3 NVMe (Game is installed on this drive)
• графический процессор: EVGA Nvidia RTX3070 FTW3
• ОС: Окна 10 Pro Version 21H2 (OS Build 19044.2251)
• Primary Display: 144hz 1440p G-Sync.

This game is performance-heavy, мягко говоря. My framerate is all over the place but generally stays between 65 и 120(where I have it capped) в 1440p.

System Optimizations

• Set the System Power Plan to High Performance:
  1. Hold down the Windows Key and press X then click on Power Options.
  2. Нажмите ‘Additional power settings.
  3. Ensure the ‘High performance’ вариант выбран.
     
• Exploit Protection Exceptions for Game Executable:Объяснение: This has been a common tweak (at least on Windows 10) for DirectX12 titles going as far back as Control (насколько мне известно, and possibly farther) to help with stuttering and other performance issues, я’ve found it’s helped with both Callisto Protocol and Elden Ring.
  1. Open the Start Menu and search for ‘Exploit protection’ и открой его.
  2. Нажмите на ‘Настройки программы’
  3. Нажмите ‘Add program to customize’ затем ‘Choose exact file path’
  4. Ты’re going to want to find and select
     TheCallistoProtocol.exe

     the default location is:

     С:\Программные файлы (х86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Callisto Protocol
  5. Прокрутите вниз до ‘Control flow guard (CFG)’ and check the box ‘Override system settings’ and set it to off. Click Apply. You will need to reboot the computer before this change takes effect.
     
     
     
• Driver Tweaks: (This is Nvidia only, я не знаю’t have an AMD card. AMD users will have to figure out how to do it on their hardware.)
  1. Open the Nvidia Control Panel and go to ‘Управление настройками 3D’. Под ‘Глобальные настройки’ the two options which matter are ‘Power management mode’ и ‘Shader Cache Size’.
  2. Набор ‘Power management mode’ к ‘Prefer maximum performance’.
  3. Набор ‘Shader Cache Size’ to at least 10GB. (I keep mine at 100GB). This helps prevent the game from having to recompile shaders due to the cache being shared between multiple games.
     

In-Game Options

In-Game OptionsGraphics Preset – Обычай

• Графика / Общий:
  • Sync Every Frame (V-SYNC) – ВЫКЛЮЧЕННЫЙ
  • Framerate Limit – 120
    (I tend to cap at 120Hz despite having a 144Hz monitor. You may also have better frame timing by capping the framerate to 60hz.)
  • Direct X – 12
    (This is System dependent, some people are having better performance on DX11, others on DX12, I tested both and had better luck with DX12, try both.)
• Графика / Отображать:
  • Fullscreen Mode – Borderless FullscreenFullscreen should give better performance and let you scale the rendering resolution. I personally use two monitors and alt tab frequently so I stick with Borderless Fullscreen.
    If you’re using Fullscreen you should set the resolution to your Monitor’s native resolution and tweak the rendering resolution.
• Графика / Освещение:
  • Lighting Quality – Стандартный
  • Качество теней – Середина
  • Volumetrics Quality – Середина
  • Particle Quality – Середина
  • Отражения в пространстве экрана – Включено
  • Physical Refractions – Включено
  • Ray-Traced Shadows – Неполноценный
  • Ray-Traced Reflections – Неполноценный

  Adjust these as per taste and performance, keep Ray-Tracing disabled, Screen Space Reflections and Volumetrics tend to affect both visual quality and performance heavily.

• Графика / Эффекты:
  • Глубина резкости – Неполноценный
  • Размытие в движении – Неполноценный
  • Подповерхностное рассеяние – Включено
    (Another setting that disabling can affect both performance and image quality).
  • Сглаживание – TemporalAA
    (More performance intensive but also helps improve visual quality dramatically)
  • Film Grain – На
    (Personal Preference)
• Графика / Передовой:
  • Апскейлинг – AMD FSR 2
    (Pretty much mandatory, sadly no DLSS for Nvidia users)
  • FSR2 Quality Mode – Производительность
    (I prefer the higher framerate, with Temportal AA enabled it doesn’t look bad to me.)
  • Mesh Quality – Высокий
  • Качество текстур – Высокий
  • Качество фильтра текстур – Середина
    (These last 3 can be lowered to improve performance)

Before We Continue

The next set of tweaks greatly helped with reducing the number of stutters, loading new areas resulting in more of an FPS drop for a few seconds. This did lower my average framerate, но я’m not being killed from the stutters and there seems to be better frame pacing. Generally outside of loading new areas and shared compilation I’m staying above 60fps.

I did notice a hit to the texture quality with these options, however the stutter reduction was well worth it in my opinion.

Параметры запуска

• Параметры запуска:
  1. В Steam, right click on The Callisto Protocol and select ‘Характеристики’.
  2. В ‘Параметры запуска’ поле, вставить:
     -xgeshadercompile

     then exit out, убедитесь, что там’s no leading or trailing spaces.

  

Config File Edits

• Config File Edits
  1. Open file explorer and click in the top box and put in:
     %localappdata%\CallistoProtocol\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

     и нажмите Enter.

  2. Открыть ‘Двигатель.это’ в блокноте.
  3. On a new line, добавьте следующее:
     [/скрипт/engine.renderersettings] niagara.CreateShadersOnLoad=1 r.CreateShadersOnLoad=1 D3D12.PSO.DiskCache=1 D3D12.PSO.DriverOptimizedDiskCache=1 r.Shaders.Optimize=1 [ТекстураПотоковая передача] r.Shaders.Optimize=1 r.Shaders.FastMath=1 r.UseShaderCaching=1 r.UseShaderPredraw=1 r.UseAsyncShaderPrecompilation=1 s.AsyncLoadingThreadEnabled=True r.TargetPrecompileFrameTime=13 r.PredrawBatchTime=13 r.AccelPredrawBatchTime=0 r.AccelTargetPrecompileFrameTime=0 [Консольные переменные] AllowAsyncRenderThreadUpdates=1 AllowAsyncRenderThreadUpdatesDuringGamethreadUpdates=1 AllowAsyncRenderThreadUpdatesEditor=1 s.AsyncLoadingThreadEnabled=True

     and save it.

  
  

Заключительные замечания

Reboot your computer if you haven’уже. Then go in game and do the benchmark twice, the second run should run much smoother. Hopefully you find these tweaks reduced the amount of stuttering and gets the game into a playable state until it’s properly fixed.
