Many players are experiencing stuttering issues in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, particularly on PC, despite the game's release a couple of weeks ago. This guide outlines solutions to resolve this frustrating problem.
Troubleshooting Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Stuttering on PC
Numerous reports on platforms like Reddit highlight widespread stuttering in the PC version. This is problematic even for players meeting the game's system requirements. Fortunately, several solutions have emerged from the community.
Solution 1: Update Your Graphics Drivers
Installing the NVIDIA GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 572.24 (for Windows 10 and 11) is a highly recommended first step. Released shortly after the game's launch, this hotfix addresses stuttering and crashing issues reported by many players.
Solution 2: Check Your Controller Connection
Surprisingly, using a Bluetooth controller has been identified as a source of stuttering for some gamers. Switching to a wired USB connection often resolves the problem.
Solution 3: Adjust In-Game Graphics Settings
If the above solutions don't work, adjusting in-game graphics settings is necessary. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 provides extensive Advanced Graphics Settings allowing for optimization. Experiment with lowering settings, particularly those on High to Medium, and Medium to Low. Finding the right balance will eliminate stuttering without significantly impacting visual quality.
Optimizing Settings for High FPS
Once stuttering is resolved, optimize settings for the best possible visual fidelity and frame rate. Refer to guides such as The Escapist's guide to achieving high FPS in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for detailed instructions.
Conclusion
By implementing these solutions, you should be able to overcome stuttering issues and enjoy a smoother Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 experience on your PC. The game is currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
