I've done some light testing every now and again in Vanilla and so far, the stuttering due to GC seems far less noticeable, if not completely absent when compared to before. Even Vanilla prev. to 1.1 still had some noticeable stuttering every ~60 seconds. After a few (admittedly not very long) games and experimenting without any mods it's still buttery smooth.

I almost can't believe it. We'll need to wait for more complex mods to be updated to see how much of an effect it had on them I suppose, but if the issue is resolved, then I'm very thankful! I'm glad we had a lot of people to shine some light on this issue, and for your quick action on this matter, Tynan.

I'm having the same issue as all of you. I've nearly gone insane from looking everywhere possible to solve it or at least see if anyone else had the issue. It doesn't even seem that rare, I've seen quite a few people report having the same issue except they never get "official" replies, or ever seem to get it fixed.

I'm beginning to wonder if everyone has this problem but the majority just doesn't notice it. It's so strange and I've already done every possible "fix" short of reformatting to no avail. Deleted the game, rebooted, deleted and unsubbed from all mods, deleted the ludeon folder and disabled steam's syncing, updated drivers, etc.

It honestly makes the game completely unplayable and not enjoyable for me, despite wanting to play it so badly. It stutters in vanilla as stated in this thread before, but it's a lot less pronounced. You can still clearly notice it though, even when you're distracted, when you're building things and panning your camera around for example, it's very noticeable and can cause you to mess up your construction plans often.

The worst part is that hardware seems to not be the culprit. Despite this, the few replies the posts claiming to have this issue get usually blame it on the specs or something on the individual's side, such as poor mod orders, when it's clearly more than that. Even with 10-20 mods the stuttering increases a massive amount, from the reasonable every 20-30 seconds in vanilla to every 6-12 seconds. Not even big mods like Psychology or CE either. Not that it matters, because big mods seem to affect the stuttering just as much as small ones, so long as you have more than 10-15 added. There are others with far more mods, and far worse specs that are able to run the game at a smooth 60fps all the way up to massive colonies, and claim to never have this sort of stuttering.

I've also used RuntimeGC, and noticed what's been stated multiple times about the memory problem. I wish I was able to simply remove all mods and not have this stuttering, or could blame it on something so that I'd be able to fix it by just getting rid of it and be on my merry way, but it isn't the case. It's clearly something I am, and most likely most users, unable to solve on their own. Running the game on administrator mode did nothing on my side too.

This is frustrating since the issue seems to only have appeared a year or two ago tops. I've played this game ever since the early alpha/Kickstarter days, and I've always been passionate about it. So it really saddens me that I'm unable to enjoy it because of something like this. I hope that a solution comes out of this, or at least for it to get some light.
