[All Versions] D3D frame skipping

Anyone else know about this?
Basically it just seems as if the game skips a frame or something, it basically just stutters for a split second. Pretty noticable though.
Can supply a video if needs be.
I tried opengl and it is WAY smoother with opengl. Except my settings never save with opengl so i'd rather not use it..
I should note the game runs at a SOLID 60fps at all times.

Hi, can you post log? What do you mean settings never save with opengl?

and I mean my settings don't save between load ups of the game if I have it in opengl (whcih reduces the frame skipping). So I will tick Fullscreen, close my game, reopen it, and I will have to tick it again for it to work in fullscreen. Same with hotkey settings too.
When I put it back into D3D though all my hotkeys still worked. It's as if opengl wasn't loading up my config? Not 100% sure.

I see you're playing multiplayer.
Can you enable the multiplayer time stats and the normal performance stats debug options and make a video with those visible and it happening?

Thanks for the reply.
I'll work on getting you that information in a short while. But I should note that this issue isn't exclusive to multiplayer and also affects SP.

Hey I am sorry it took so long, I ended up being pretty busy and didn't play any factorio.
but after playing it last night I got the debug menu during it
https://youtu.be/tc6uQqzWDvc
As a note it seems I can force it to happen if I place a YouTube video.
and as I said it still shows 60fps, and also happens unmodded and on SP.

I'm not seeing any skipping in the video you uploaded...

Yes, I'm in the seeing the same thing with a few moments of the frame rate and game getting really slow. Not sure if I see a rhyme or reason yet. But, I think it happens more when I zoom in while running.. Removed all mods.. single player.. Nothing built.. If I run I can get a little stutter here and there. More so with stuff built. My system shouldn't be a problem... I am on two 970's in SLI.. if that might be an issue.. Maybe I'll take that off.. used to not be a problem at all. Was hopping it was a mod.. or something that would go way with the new version. O and I'm on the latest experimental. 0.13.14
Still love the game.. Just letting you know.
I'll try to get a video also.
*UPDATE*
Added --force-opengl to the steam launcher and it seems to be nice and smooth.

It might be the recent removal of vsync for d3d mode - it's caused bad stuttering for me that seems a bit random. When you see the slowdowns is game fps/ups still showing 60/60 in F5 debug screen?
