"Deus Ex: Human Revolution" Zooming Stutter Demonstration

Demonstration of a stutter effect whenever I aim down the sights of a weapon, when I lean out from cover, or even when accessing a terminal.

My computer specs:
-Windows 7 64-bit
-Intel i7 930 @ 2.8GHz
-12GB RAM
-Crucial RealSSD C300 Hard Drive
-Nvidia GeForce GTX 285

I've tried many different video settings, such as VSync on/off, SSAO off/normal/high, decreasing/increasing resolution, adjusting AA, etc. I've also updated my Nvidia drivers as of 8/30.

The framerate of the game runs very smooth regardless of my video settings, but always has this stutter effect when "zooming". Very frustrating!!!

Thanks to a user on the Eidos forums, my problem has now been fixed. For anyone with the same issue, I suggest you try the following:

Here's what I did:

1. Uninstall nVidia 3d drivers (since I never use them).

2. Go to C:\???\Steam\steamapps\common\­deus ex-human revolution\redist

3. Manually install directx and vc, run both as administrator. (right click, go to properties, compatibility tab)

4. Restart computer.

Aiming is now smooth as silk!

Is your framerate dropping when zooming? I have the same problem!

[GeckoTH]

@1337keef I don't think it's a normal framerate issue (due to my computer not being able to render quick enough). As I mentioned in the description, this happens regardless of my video settings -- I can set it to a really low resolution, and turn everything to low/off settings, and this effect still happens. This effect and other stutter problems seem to be quite common among a lot of users, and is being discussed in a thread on the Eidos forums. Check the description for the link

FIXED. I have a similar system but with an ATI 5870. I had this issue as well. Updating drivers made no improvement. I re-ran the "Deus Ex Setup" from Steam to turn off DX11, but the game would not run in DX10 with my card, instead it gave me an error message. Re-checked DX11, and it still wouldn't run. Went back into Steam and clicked "verify Game Cache" and it re-downloaded a 12.8MB file. Ran the "Deus Ex Setup" again, and made sure DX11 was checked, and it works now, smooth zooming.
