Timelock Studio and Croteam have released the first post-launch update for Serious Sam Siberian Mayhem. According to the teams, Update 1.01 fixes a bug that was causing regular micro-stutters on some machines.
After testing this patch, we can confirm that the game has fewer micro-stutters than before. It’s not 100% silky smooth and there are still some very minor stutters when panning the camera. There are also stutters when the game loads new enemies. Still, things are significantly better than before.
Alongside this fix, Patch 1.01 optimizes destructions (gibs) on certain enemies. It also resolves the soft lock in the final battle of the fourth level.
As always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog. Lastly, our PC Performance Analysis for this game will go live this weekend.

They need to fix the save issues then ill wishlist it
When SS4 fixed for the same issue?
never
Microstutter isnt a bug anymore, its a feature. If you dont ignore then you will not play pc games.
Still waiting for deathloop update, game dont even use half of my gpu
SS4 never had it to this level. In SM it was constant, even if standing still.
Ironic that this would happen in a Croteam game. They pioneered analysis of reasons why microstutter happens in PC games a decade ago and yet now they release a game with worse stuttering issues than other devs out there. Tells you everything you need to know about this project. This is the B team, the interns, or everybody competent left the company.
I feel like most competent people left AAA studios as it seems lately. Not like Croteam is a AAA studio tho.
While stuttering was indeed fixed, the absolutely horrible CPU bottleneck was not. I am unable to achieve above 80% GPU usage and in open areas its stays in low 60s. It’s ridiculous that my Ryzen 5 5600X and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti are unable to push stable 144 FPS at 1440p.
Can you achieve that in other relatively recent games?
Yes.
