It never stutters after loading for me even with 1.25 render scale. Only have a 1080ti. Make sure, VaM does NOT use all cores (threads) via the task manager. Take away a few. I removed 4-5 out of 24 and I very rarely encounter one short stutter but only on heavy scenes.
Stupid thing is, you have to set this everytime you launch VaM.

The issue with VAM lies in the limited options available to reduce CPU usage, yet there's potential to decrease GPU usage. The stutters you're encountering might be linked to the GPU, so experimenting with adjustments there could help. Consider using the Givemefps plugin.
since youre all talking about performance...is there anyway to reduce the "too many heaps" error crash/ Im getting this a lot. already reduced the amount of plugins to minimum.

There is a memory optimization thing in the options. I set it to optimize on scene load. Also close your internet browser (and any other stuff using memory) when playing. It helps.

I had 16GB of ram before, now I have 32 but I still encounter this error very rarely. Best thing counter this, adjust your pagefile.
I explained how I set it when I had 16GB of ram here

With 32GB ram I lowered the pagefile to 40GB.

Almost none yes. Only very few right after loading a scene but then it's stable.
I have to add, I pretty much debloated my Windows 10 installation quite a bit. Also disabled the Windows design shit and set Windows visual effects to max performance except for smooth text. In your GPU driver settings you can also set your GPU to max performance for VaM and make sure you set "Texture filtering - Quality" to "high performance".
No gamebar, msedge and many other useless services are running in the background so Windows has more resources for a heavy VaM installation. Iam also using a custom updateable Nvidia driver with all the background telemetry disabled. You can do this with NVCleanstall if you are using Nvidia.
For adjusting the thread count
You go to the VaM process in your taskmanager, expand, VamProcess "go to details" and "set affinity". Also "set priority" to realtime after you are in the main menu. When changing the priority while loading, VaM will crash.

Open VaM, then open "Hub Browse" and click on "Scan Hub for Missing Referenced Packages", then "Download All". Every single dependency (except the specific version of the Timeline plugin) can be downloaded that way.

This only works if you are not like me: I skip too many dependencies for scenes. Specially looks, and hairs, because I never use them. I always swap them out for my favorite ones.
If that's also your case, go to package manager, find the scene to check it's dependencies, and then do the scan for missing packages but don't click download all. Select only the ones that are needed/wanted.
But it only works with dependencies hosted on the hub, which isn't always true. Idk if that's the case for this scene.

Anyone knows what VaM 2.x is gonna bring to the table?
For the record, words cannot describe how great Vam 1.x feels to me. The only issues I see are resource usage and package management but that's only because I am a poverty stricken linux user. So I am asking this out of curiosity.

VAM2 will be just a straight upgrade everywhere: newer engine, more tools for content creators, better performance... but it will be even more complex to learn.
About package management, check these posts from the developer:
Yeah I am considering releasing as a SFW app, but I do worry that might not attract the audience needed to buy it. People might not realize what you can actually do with it and marketting the SFW version might leave potential buyers wondering what the heck it is for. I don't think it would sell that well marketted as an animation application or character model simulator. I think additional content and features would have to be developed to make that somehow appealing. So that might be a backup plan. I think to start it will be VaM2 as a NSFW application because there is very clearly a huge audience for that on Steam. For the very brief amount of time VaM1 + vamX was on Steam, it was in the top 20 sellers of ALL games including AAA titles. It was weird seeing it outselling GTA.Unfortunately Steam removed it for unclear reasons, but our best guess was due to the Hub and unrestricted content, or maybe they didn't like a NSFW title being in the top 20 sellers. Steam has a very strict policy about an application linking to sites like Patreon or other store fronts. We had removed those to meet their requirements, but there was a bug that allowed these links to accidentally appear again depending on how the Hub filters were set. That may be the reason for removal and aligns with Steam's very brief stated reason for removal. Because of this VaM2 will not have a built-in Hub. The Hub2 will run as external application for downloading/managing addon content. The runtime will simply recognize when content has changed and automatically refresh.

I'd love some recommendations on some longer scenes please. Really enjoy Hip Venus, Motion, those kinds just riding along with the scene.

I really hope there will be no problems with existing var files. Would be a real pain if nothing would be compatible.
