WHY DOES IT STUTTER SO MUCH? - HDD vs SSD - Wuthering Waves | RAM + PAGING FILE? | 11.ai

[@toruiwatobi1484]

I have an m.2 SSD and a GTX 1060 6GB VRAM and the game was experiencing heavy stuttering even on low settings. The stuttering completely went away when I switched from 2x4 GB RAM to 2x8 GB RAM and allowed the game to use as much of my VRAM as possible. My guess is that the game stutters a lot because my RAM was too low and the VRAM wasn't being fully utilized, so it kept using the disk's page file for the game which is why there is a huge amount of read/writes to the disk. The game stutters because its trying to wait for the disk read/writes to finish. It should be noted that read/writes on the page file are orders of magnitude slower compared to read/writes on the RAM (even if its an SSD, although that helps). Additionally, dual channeling your RAM also gives you a massive FPS boost. This game requires 16 GB of RAM at the minimum, so its better to use 2x8 GB RAM than 1x16 .

[@soulzyx]

Thanks for the explaination. But I'm running the game on dual channel 16GB DDR4 3000mhz RAM. Any ideas? Only changing drives worked for me.

[@soulzyx]

Ok, so I did more "research", I think the game does "access" the Disk's page file in some form or capacity, because when I disabled my page file on Windows. I saw my writes go down by 90%, 3mb/s to 300kb/s and some things "loaded" in quicker, but it did not fix the stuttering (happens exactly in my video). The worst thing is, if the game A) isn't running out of Memory, I saw on RTTS it's using 11 GB of 16GB then why would it be paging? VRAM is also only 3GB of 6GB. The game just decides to do what it wants inefficiently, despite with the resources it has, that sounds like poor optimisation to me. Anyway, I don't recommend anyone to either disable or limit the page file size (if you run out of memory programs will crash), but seeing it not write at 2mb/s for hours actually made me feel a bit comfortable for puting it back on my SSD. Funnily enough, with your information I went and looked it up and I found the "suggestion" on PubG, another game that is garbagely programmed. I guess we really can't do anything about it.

[@pierreshi6102]

@@soulzyx yes I think the optimization could be better, this and 7 days to die (I don't know if you ever heard of that game) are both optimized poorly. I was using 2x8 GB DDR4 2667mhz RAM and I would get constant stutters. Now switched to a 2x16 GB DDR4 3200mhz RAM and it's much better even though both of my games are on HDD drives. It still occasionally stutters and I would miss time a dodge or parry but it's very rare. In fact the performance went up so much I beat the Impermanence Heron difficulty 5 with scuffed level 70 characters. I'm going to be upgrading my laptop's C disk soon (m2 SSD) so that I can put my games on this disk and eliminate stuttering as much as possible.

Quick update: Yep, mobile feels a lot better now, not perfect yet, but hopefully 1.1 will bring even better optimizations. As a PGR player, I have faith in Kuro ✌️

[@iLunafreya]

I agree with you, it's likelihood optimisation problematic. If we recall back when CBT, not many people complained about frame-drop or stutters. I also guessing they proceed to updating faster to fix it asap, implement the data or set-up they used on CBT.

[@Arashi257]

If this really is a game issue, then I hope they're able to fix this, cause I have no way of getting an SSD. In my case, I only have HDD's but the game stops stuttering after a few minutes of forcing the stutter through random quick movements, loading a bunch of stuff in the area by running around, and opening a few different menu screens,and then teleport to a far waypoint and running around there for a few seconds.

[@kujii_6606]

im not gonna sacrifice my ssd/hdd lifespan for this game, dont get me wrong the game is good really good but if it will break my things then its a big NO to play, i have decent rig and runs game at 60fps but stutter most of the time its really annoying when it stutters while fighting the camera roll over the screen and i cant see properly after its like throwing the mouse to spin. well i just will do daily and not story atm to keep with the upcoming characters.

[@V3RAC1TY]

same here

[@epicskrub730]

They really need to fix this issue on the 1.1 update. Don't have any storage remaining on my SSD so I have no choice but to play on HDD, but the stutter and load times are just 💀

[@ffauzyy]

as a 8gb user on my pc i agreed with you, its not my device problem its the game problem. i can reach 60fps but when fighting sometimes dropped on 29fps. meanwhile i can play elden ring without any problem. its ok even wuwa still dropped my fps sometimes at least i can still play this game and i enjoy so far. hope they will fix it as soon as possible.

[@hinoka2911]

So the game just said: "I prefer only super high end specs so others should go away". So kuro games just focus on optimizing for high end specs without considering there is medium and low spec exist (broke people, such as me). Bro thought everyone who has pc, laptop is using ssd now 💀

[@soulzyx]

Yes laptops come with boot SSDs now. If that's the case, the stutter most laptops proabbly don't' have to do with storage, but other things, like integrated graphics, low RAM, throttling.

[@kurumi1266]

1 week after the game release, i was playing on a heavy stuttering even after some of the patch, I notice it that my HDD Disk Usage is always at 100% even just by standing still in the game, I compare it with Genshin Impact and surprisingly the disk usage is only reaching about 5-20% and the stuttering is so minimal or barely to see unless on a loading or heavy battle with lot's of scene. The next week I decided to buy SSD SATA SAMSUNG EVO 870 1TB, after it arrive i immediately test it, and sure enough i could confirm it that it does eliminate the stutter like 90% of it really a MASSIVE DIFFERENCE!. The disk usage on the SSD is at 0% to 10%, i highly recommended to play this game on SSD.

[@watchitbyragib3365]

Bro, I am taking a liking on this game buttt. I first downloaded it on my SSD. Then for storage issues i had to reinstall it on my hdd. Since then I am facing these stuttering. Funny part is my HDD is runing Genshin with near smoothness but WUWA is just so much laggy. Moving my character with sprint is makingvthe game completely stop for 1 or 2 seconds. If it was a early stage developing problem then I am afraid I need to again install it on SSD somehow.

[@soulzyx]

It's because, the game writes to the page file, which is slower than memory. So a HDD is going to lag when it does that, a SSD is way faster you aren't going to notice when its doing that. How to stop it writing to the page file? You need more system memory, although Idk if it ever doesn't write to page file. The minimal requirements for Genshin Impact is 8GB, the minimal for WuWa is 16GB. MINIMUM btw, not recommended. So of course comparing one lagging to the other, is not gonna be the same, it's like a PS3 game vs a PS4 game. I would just put it back on your SSD, unless you absolutely can't, the game is only 25GB in size, that's tiny. Ofc if you can't, (I can't, but have it on HDD for other reasons), just gotta upgrade eventually 😅

[@christherazor]

So far I was trying playing WuWa on lowest settings possible, including playing on smallest window size possible since, for whatever reason, it improved the game´s stability a bit to me. Nontheless, the stutters this game has is just mindcrushing. Tbf, I don´t have the best specs ever with a mere 1650, intel i5 and 8gb ram single channel (all with an ssd, but on a laptop), although I never had even the slightest problems on other games like Genshin Impact, Tower of Fantasy, Snowbreak Containment Zone or recently Solo Leveling Arise (last one being not that well optimized either, but at least very well playable nontheless). I did find out 1 or 2 things. Playing the game with dual channel ram is already a big thing. In my case, putting the game on windowed mode on the smallest size helped to make it more stable. What baffles me is the hudge difference between dungeons and open world. Inside a dungeon, the game easily holds 60 fps. Outside of it... no chance. I also don´t understand why the game, even on lowest settings possible, has to be this detailed. What I mean by that is especially the special effects on vegatation. When wind blows you can clearly see grass and trees moving. Walking through grass or fighting in it also triggers physics. All of this may cost way more power than putting shadows on (in fact in WuWa shadows load in like in no time at all). In older racing games to say the very least, you may be able to set higher grafic qualities in it, including shadows, and be completly fine. However, as soon as you enable vegetation effects the game can immediatly become stuttery, if not almost unplayable. This might also be a good reason, even more if you have a low ram size, why the game has a high disk usage at times. What I also found out in my experience so far was, that the game might stutter even further if your ping is unstable or high. Despite my PC being fully up to date, if also unstable ping comes in the game sutters even worse. I was thinking of upgrading my ram someday, but as soon as my pc can handle most tasks and other games I play I don´t see a reason to do so, especially when the sole reason is to being able to play some poorly optimized gacha game. Hopefully Kuro Games fixes these issues asap. It would be a big shame if WuWa would be already in a decline due to bad optimization.

[@soulzyx]

There's a pinned comment in the video, if you want to relieve stuttering then RAM is going to help you, 16GB dual channel. Looks like when you don't have enough memory the game starts writing to page file which causes stutter since it's slower. For average FPS, if you're playing at windowed mode then it seems 1080p is too much for you. Check out this video, if you all you want is extra FPS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX2zfIGEh6uWjZI&t Then once you understand how to edit your ini file, I would recommend the config from here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGW7gYxrm91_mdE You should see 10-20 FPS increase, depends on the system if you were to use the potato config I posted

[@SomebodyIUsedToKnoww]

Compared Wuthering Waves to Racing Master (which also using the same engine & pushing graphics card for more realistic), the stuttering also appeared at the beginning of their release (i'm playing JP Server). then these updates today the stuttering is missing. So Wuthering Waves needs their optimalization issues A.S.A.P.

[@SomebodyIUsedToKnoww]

actually there's small stuttering, but not that much. it also depends how your internet speed works

[@soulzyx]

To those, that have multiple SSDs, try putting it on the one that's your boot drive (where Windows is installed to). Just realised, correction: those are bytes, so it's 65-130MB, not GB 😅 My HDD has a Read/write of 150/144mbs My SSD has a read/write of 536/207mbs. I guess that's why the stutter isn't on my other drive. Also would like to say, that those with low system RAM (8GB), or low VRAM (4GB or less) might cause stutter that has nothing to do with the storage drive (since I ask people their specs, and I see those commonly have those). I didn't have either of these factors. More info about stutter on start: www.reddit.com/r/WutheringWaves/comments/1d07cku/comment/lpgwuj2/

[@kujii_6606]

this game doesn't consume much of my vram my gpu are always around 50-70% most of the time and when it stutters its becoming 0% for sec and back to normal, maybe you are right its about the ssd/hdd r/w and a bad optimization

[@GarySlayer]

Gt 1030 ddr5 2gb vram n 8gb ram pc using hdd.... The game loading time is massive and the stutters mostly happens when I spawn after teleport and when I come back to game after pausing few secs. Will I have to wait for wuwa to improve it ? Or I have to do something?

[@DerpyNoodIe]

I literally run this game on a NVMe drive on a system that has a 5950X and a RTX 3090.... and the game still stutters here and there. It's the game, it's not optimized.

I see a lot of folks struggling here. I personally have a rather strong disk with 1 TB memory and don't experience much lag - though I get the warning too that my drive is outdated and the game may crash. For now it works just fine.

[@mastermastriker8084]

i dont stutter and i consider the game to be one of the best for me… but i completely agree with you… a game with bad optimization is one of the determining factor of its longevity..

i usually dont get this problem, maybe every 30 minutes to an hour of play. its still debilitating while its happening, since it lasts for a few minutes and makes it where there is no way i could reliably do any sort of combat while its happening. i hope they fix this. i dont want to be in the middle of something i cant pause when this happens.

[@soulzyx]

The problem I show in this video is gone. The game since, is playable on a HDD without these major stutters. At least with my specs.

[@Breadbuts]

I used to have insane frame drops (like not even 1 frame per second lol) when I'm just starting the game even on Ryzen 7 5800x, RTX 3060ti, and 32GB ram on 3600mhz. WuWa was installed on my HDD back then, but when I bought a Samsung 990 Pro just the other day and reinstalled WuWa on the SSD, the frame drops were gone. The frame drops I was experiencing (back when it was still installed on the HDD) was the initial loading of resources I would say. It drops on my first dash and first jump of the game, as well as moving around for a few seconds but after that, almost no more frame drops. Hope they optimize this as soon as possible because this level of graphics shouldn't need much of a high spec pc just to run even at 60fps

[@soulzyx]

yeah, it's because the game writes to the page file, and HDD's are too slow. By default i'm guessing defaults page file to whatever drive it's running off, so if you put it on a SSD you won't even tell it's writing to it.

[@horizon_angel]

At least make it playable on HDD would also be good (TBH last time I see, it's playable, after running around for a moment, letting the game renders). That said, the game's graphics and level of details isn't that astonishing, so why would it need to be that heavy?

for mine, it was stuttering in the first minute i logged into the game and last about 2-3 minutes. so i just call it, let's warm while moving around in game and doesn't stutter for the rest of my playtime. i'm using HDD too, so maybe it's the game problem that need optimization are the read/write on hard drive that game installed ?

[@horizon_angel]

Can say so, I've been dealing with these people anyway. From what I see, at least in my area, it's mostly because developer is kind enough to give an apology compensation of, ahem, free 5* character, these people also always says that dev listening to community, than something like Hoyo (despite their game is far more playable than what we have here) The thing is, most people is kinda brainwashed by this. While I love a free decent, or even good compensation, but if the game still not playable, then what's the point?

I'm also on 1440p, but with a GTX 1060 6GB, it uses 100% of my GPU , so it could be that your 3060 doesn't get maxed out because it's not working as hard to render. Is it a 3060m laptop?

I hope you reported this issue quickly to the devs as this is a serious issue. Using a AMD igpu it lags when my character is moving, but it goes smooth when idle.

I wouldnt say x2, but let's make an *EXTREME* case example which isnt realistic The game writes 3mb/s a second, 180 mb/s a minute, 10.8GB an hour. Let's say you play 6 hours a day, that's 64.8 GB a day being written. In a month, that's 1.944 TB. In a year, 23.328 TB. Let's say your SSDs life cycle is between 60 and 150 TB in write. You'd still need 2.6 years of playing everyday non stop for degradation. Of course, assuming its a fresh SSD and it's not already half way through its lifetime. It's definitely an issue, and I don't wanna deal with that since i've already got 33 TB written to mine, but it's not really going to kill the average persons drive. The devs definitely need to do something about it, no where have I seen it being addressed.

If you're talking about the stutter in this video specific, if you don't have 16GB of RAM and a SSD, then wait till you do, those are the minimum specs for this game.

There's something going on with the CPU performance on this game, my Pentium G6400 can't handle the workload and it makes the game stutter heavily on any setting (low/high) while I have no issue with other game (GI/HSR/ToF). I guess this game is CPU heavy? Idk, I might need to upgrade my PC

Hi, I would not compare to GI/HSR, they don't have the same levels of graphics. ToF is a better comparison, but it's strange how you don't have any issues in ToF but here they are both UE4 games. From my knowledge that's a dual core CPU. I would check your game with Msi Afterburner + RTTS, and check your CPU utilisation and temps, to see if it is being "maxed" out. Here's a guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKrSlJlpqrCke5I

Also is that a laptop, because everyone on a laptop has said their GPU was not utilised because it was actually using their integrated graphics instead.

[@horizon_angel]

Hi, a WuWa player on HDD here After 1.1 update, the game is, how do I say this.... *Getting worse* (at the same time, this issues start happening also after I update my Nvidia driver, so who knows) Before update, true that the game would lag and stutter, as if trying to "warm the system", because after a while, I actually able to play normally with decent performance (there's still some lags, but not as noticeable as first open) Now, after update, I actually open the game to continue my story, it's still run decently (still with first open thingy) However, after driver update, the game actually getting worse. To start, it takes almost 10 minutes (or 7 maybe?) verifying game file integrity (which actually at that time, the game also not responding, but according to task manager, my HDD is at 100% usage), and so on, before actually loggin in, goes into my Rover's hand, and another 5 to 7 minutes loading in. Loaded into the game, the usual stutter and lags first, but it's actually getting worse, because if "rendering process", if that make sense, is failed, there's a possibility the game having an audio delay, stuck on opening map, or even sounds lost after teleport. Not to mention the game taking so long to actually loading, because even when I'm entering loading screen, the game isn't actually loading yet, I can still hear my character idling in background. I still can have decent fun, when the game actually work, but most of the time, it doesn't. And TBH, I don't like when people keep praising the dev for keep giving apology rewards (I mean, I like rewards too), when the game isn't better yet, or even worse Again, this is probably because I'm on HDD, which probably isn't a good pair for RTX 3050, but well, I do have limited budget now, and there's other games that actually run better on my PC, say something like Ghost of Tsushima, GTA V, Forza Horizon 5, or even Genshin Impact (that before I delete that game for WuWa), and also HSR. Here I'm still waiting for devs to actually improve the game, but for how long, I wonder (note: game is also planned on PS4, which definitely still using HDD as base)

[@soulzyx]

i get same stutter, but what you said about the game taking 7 mins to verify files, 1.1 actually fixed that for me. It takes 1-2 minutes now, they sped up that process for HDD's to skip it, the load times are still a bit slow otherwise, but before 1.1 I had to wait 5 or more minutes just to get to the Rover screen. It's much better now. Audio delay and stuttering after login is normal for me, it's when the game writes to the page file (I checked in Resource manager) when it runs out of memory, it's much lower and causes this issue. Only get this on my HDD though, probably because its much slower than my SSD

[@horizon_angel]

​​@@soulzyx You know, it actually feels better not to actually deal with people who keep defending the game because they can run it better Anyway, maybe the 7 minutes verifying game files is probably my issues, but I'll see next week, since I'm out at the moment. All the worse problem about sounds not rendering and everything, at first I thought my system need restart, but TBH, even a fresh start from turned off didn't resolve the problem for me, sometimes it work, most of the times, it doesn't. So much so that even it takes a while, just to load the gacha banner. Oh, and yeah, when worked, the game run at around 50-59 fps-ish, barely 60 fps. Quite ironic for something like RTX 3050 (and I just re-read my comment back up there, I just fixes it. All the worse problem happens after I update Nvidia driver)

It read 0.5-1 MB/s avg for me, and spike to 10-20 MB/s while fast traveling to a random beacon.

can confirm, its also like that for me. each time I open the game, after my first 10+mins, the fps starts to stabilize. but I still get red ping spikes/stutters from time to time though. It's like it always needs to load the shaders like it's opened for the first time even though It's expected to load faster after each time the game is played. Example like genshin, Each time a new area is released, it's starts stutter a bit in my experience, since it's loading new textures/shaders but after a day or so of playing the new area, it becomes stable and fast loading on my next playthroughs.

@@houssxm7016 those look fine to me. Although I will see this is a budget SSD brand I've never heard of it. Have you ever considered using CrystalDiskinfo to check the health of your SSD ? You can see the health status there, to see if it's dying or not. It will state the Total Host Writes (How much it's written to the drive lifetime) Total NAND Writes (How much writes it can do estimated before failure) For me its: 59572 GB for Current Writes 77366 GB for NAND Writes Meaning my SSD (I've had it for 5 years now) is almost dead.

[@soulzyx]

Ok what I said about Total Host Writes/NAND Writes was incorrect. Since my Total Host Writes in CrystalDiskInfo is 59TB, it's pretty much already risk at dying. Each SSD has a TBW you can lookup online, and for my 120GB model, Kingston A400 SSD, on the manufacturer's page the listed TBW for it 40TB, it's already over 20TB written of its recommended lifespan, and it lists it at 0% Health status, so yeah .... I would check your drive. That might not be the issue though.

the thing that helped me was adding another 8 gb ram

@@soulzyx omg 😭how old are you

[@Emaa662]

Believe me and when you say stutter iam melting...

[@Gyatt_game_69]

Constant texture streaming? This also adds to the CPU overhead isnt it? Thats why the game cant run on 120fps with decent CPU like 5600x

[@soulzyx]

it doesn't make sense for all resources in the game in the world to be fully loaded 24/7. It will load/unload as the game asks for them. There's nothing wrong with texture streaming. there's definitely a problem with how the game handles the process with memory if you want to "modify" the streaming part, u can add to engine.ini r.Streaming.FullyLoadUsedTextures=1 r.Streaming.LimitPoolSizeToVRAM=1 r.Streaming.PoolSizeForMeshes=-1 It will make it so it doesnt need to request high textures, but will double your VRAM usage. I didnt bother since all my stutter is from page file, but there's the info online people are using, never made a diff on my low end

[@Gyatt_game_69]

@@soulzyx would that ease CPU load? Cuz currently the game is pretty much CPU limited on most scenario, it cant even max out an RX 6600 with r5 5600 from benchmarks that i seen

[@soulzyx]

​@@Gyatt_game_69 No, it would help with GPU. Have you checked your RTSS ? to be sure your CPU is like at 90% load or something, because I've never seen that before recording, it's always my GPU that is my bottleneck, the only time the CPU should be a bottleneck if it's mispaired with a faster GPU will you notice that Btw, if you are asking why RX 6600 and r5 5600 cant max out, it can already run at 60 FPS at Ultra, kzbin.info/www/bejne/imesdGypm9CSoqc If you are making the claim that it can't hit 120 FPS, then yes, that's correct. RX 6600 + r5 5600 is a budget PC setup. There's no chance for it hitting 120 in this title, you can uncap to see what it can hit stable, maybe like 80. In my country, this CPU + GPU can be bought for £300 together, it's budget, even if it's respectable combo. I would adjust your expectations.

[@Gyatt_game_69]

@@soulzyx i mean the CPU limitation is the issue, it wont max a 6600 means it wont fully utilize 100% even an an rx 6600, so faster GPU would also not maximally utilized. which shows CPU limitation, the cpu runs at 40-50% but i believe its the overall usage, not per threads, cuz wuwa only runs like on 1-2 threads while not even-ing the load like other games. I guess its dx11 issue but they can do much better on that point Here is another example of 5600 isnt able to fully utilize an RTX 4060 kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJm1pmd8lLWhpKssi=GyLMOSeSo1IhDFen Keep in mind 5600 is pretty fast, it can drive up to rtx 3080 no problem on most games, not on wuwa tho Also, cpu limitation is not always showed by 90-100% cpu usage. Check this for thorough explanation kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoKtmJ95iKx4qpYsi=-ji-Zr1JA99jZgQV

[@soulzyx]

@@Gyatt_game_69 Sorry, I don't really get it it's not a CPU limitation on the r5 5600, if you change out the GPU you will see higher framerate. a RTX 4060 cannot be compared to rx 6600, its faster than a rx 6600XT, rx 6600 is slower than a 3060 lol I think you might be referring to a game being CPU bound, which this one could be, im not saying otherwise, Assassin Creed Odyssey can also see something like 15-20 FPS difference when swapping out a faster CPU, even with paired with a GPU that *should* be fast enough with it. You didn't specify what framerates you're getting at what res, and I can't find any benchmarks for your specs, but anyway I will close my discussion with these notes: Betwen the video you showed me of the r5 5600 + 4060 combo, here is 5600 + 6600XT (slower gpu, same cpu) kzbin.info/www/bejne/apKsZamtpsh9prM The FPS is less than the 4060, with a slightly weaker GPU, only diff is GPU, same CPU. The RAM config is different, its 3200 vs 3800, CL wasnt specified for the 3200, that could also benefit. Intel Core i5 14400F + 4060 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZXdcmSwaZatqbM The FPS is MUCH better, i5 14400F is faster than r5 5600. I will say the single core processing is probs a lot better. The other difference in that config I just sent, DDR5 RAM. If you really want to know if it will make the huge difference on a 6600, you can get a 5800x3d, but then your GPU will be the bottleneck. (you wont get 120 with that GPU even with CPU upgrade) No, there's not anything you can do about it, settings or tweak wise. Some games run better than others. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXWQkmeKbdqgqsU This is what I'd call "120 fps" achievable, all other videos always drop to 80 fps, but it's a cracked setup

[@kingmamba4267]

You know what the funny thing is.I have zero stutter when I play on mobile.When i play on PC when i eneter the game it stutters for 2 minutes after that it's ok

[@Spencer0090]

not only that but slow loading time!! this game is not even half the size of genshin but it loads like its double its size!!

[@KAZITOKI97]

Can I ask I have top tier internet mostly 50mbs but when I'm playing wuwa the Ms always yellow or red and and when I'm playing Tower of fantasy my Ms always green never be yellow or red

[@soulzyx]

Are you talking about when you stutter it goes up? What is the MS number you get without it flucating at all, so just what it usually stays at.

[@tristanpapa4563]

@@soulzyx same issue. it usually stays 60-70 at day and 37-40+ at night. (i mean irl) it spikes a lot that's why im also thinking if it's on the server as well? or any explanation about that certain issue?

[@kanikiaz]

is wuwa run fine on ssd sata ? my pc have ssd m.2 and sata im too scared to install game on my m.2

[@soulzyx]

depends on how fast your sata SSD is (I only own a sata), but it should be fine. althoguh people complain if its not on the same drive as the OS try it, and you can always move the folder between drives

[@callmeandoru2627]

I don't believe it's a minority problem, as the only people who don't have problems with the game are streamers.

[@soulzyx]

People with "better" systems have less issues or less likely to run into them, yes. But if the lag was this bad for everyone, as I'm having, I genuinely don't think many people would stick around to play it.

[@Matthew-ut1hs]

Well look here gee guh beee.

[@Efgand0894]

Im having serious issues with ping, it over 220ms sometimes it goes down to 170 but suddenly spikes to 500 and returns to 220. In no other game I have this issue (America server btw)

[@soulzyx]

Might not be ping, it just shows that because it's an "online" game. Look at your drive in Task Manager when the spike happens, also can check Resource manager, like in my video to see if its when the game accesses your drive

[@chronostar7968]

I had stutter issues in the first 10 mins of the game for HDD, then plays fine after, then i reinstalled it on SSD then stuttering issues are gone.

[@XANDERcanDRAW]

Run the game in administration, I played this on 2020 laptop that barely scratch the minimum and can play it on all high without frame drops anywhere.

[@bserver2424]

My laptop had the worst specs ever(Intel iris Xe). Yet I still can run the 30 fps at medium graphics, 60 if I turn off the shadow quality. Idk why people that had a better specs are having issues. I do have a 16gb ram tho so maybe that's the difference? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
