Silent Hill 2 PC Stutter Struggle! #gaming #silenthill2 #pcgaming #rtx4090

The stutter struggle in the new Silent Hill 2 on PC is real and typical of an Unreal Engine title.

Are developers incapable of releasing a product that isn't an absolute dogshit of a mess at launch? I am getting so tired of this shit, people buy $3k PCs only for their games to run and look like absolute garbage, what the actual fuck? I'm playing on my dinosaur 10 year old PC, and I think I'm the only one experiencing these issues, which is understandable, then I see people with PCs that cost 4 times as much as mine, and they have the same issues, it's fucking stupid.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. No matter what configs I try, I always get stutter on that map and in some other maps too. Now I know the problem is not on my end. Thanks for the short!

[@baddunwell2306]

the stutter is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dreamcastdc]

It seems like UE5 just sucks running on DX12, the PS5 version doesn’t have stuttering.

This game eating VRAM like crazy, even on low medium setting, take 12GB like its nothing on 1080p!

[@farshadgrayson4421]

Lags and freezes like crazy on my 307o ti and 12700kf combo .. this is stupid..

There are certain areas where I know for a fact I'll get stutter and can replicate it every single time. Atm though the stutters are there but they're nowhere near as ruthless as the Dead Space Remake... I'm sure they'll fix it. Game is beautiful though still. I'm on a 5800X3D, RX 7900 XT Overclocked as far as it will go and 32GB 3600Mhz RAM, stutters happen but they're not as bad as in this video at all. I'm playing 4K max settings, RT on and FSR 3 set to balanced mode getting 60fps with dips to 55 when it stutters.

Bruh 4090 only get 70 fps indoors is crazy game not even open world lmao

Bottomline, recent triple A titles launch with shit optimization. You will have to wait for patches and driver updates to get the appropriate performance out of your card. Otherwise the temporal solution is to stick with upscalers and fake frames, which is an easier way for devs to get away with their frame instabilities. Not only does that look visually compromising, but it’s a big fuck you for paying 2,000 dollars on a card that won’t do it justice. The tech is getting more demanding and game devs are crunching time finding shortcuts to get you to play the game properly. Look at Resident Evil 4 Remakes graphics then come back here. That game gets ridiculous frames and looks 5x better than this cesspool of jagged edges. Really up to the team.

10400f 3060ti, i put everything to low, but the game somehow manage to use all of my vram and it stutter a lot

[@Tyrantplays69]

Same here with rx6600xt, 10400f

[@aisliin]

can confirm it’s not much better on my 13600k 4090 combo, my friend with a 7800x3d is says he doesn’t notice any tho

[@freesmelly1169]

I’m also on a 7800x3D, it’s pretty terrible for me

[@SaintMichel.]

May be with rt off its better no ?

[@Liam_blake00]
