Issues unresolved
Random stutter and frame rate drops in open areas
- The game appears to suffer from stuttering issues, particularly during combat in open world areas, likely caused by background loading and shader compilation mismanagement.[2][3]
Potential fix for stutter and frame rate drops[citation needed] |

Forcing Vsync off in the GPU control panel for the game or globally, substantially reduces stutters at the cost of introducing tearing. Setting Vsync to fast turns it off and reduces tearing to imperceptible levels. |
Issues fixed
