Essential improvements
- Allows users to block certain input devices to prevent the game from hitching every time it loads the icon for another input device.
- Lowers the Steam API overhead of the game; provides more stable frame render times and shorter loading times on certain hardware configurations.
- Includes options that fix thread scheduling options in some threads, that causes starvation on graphics/audio threads.
Game data
- The Steam and Origin versions do not respect a relocated Documents folder unless symlinks are used.

Stuttering
Final Fantasy XV uses heavy resources on a PC's paging file, which acts as alternate virtual RAM.[8]
If the paging file is set too low (such as a maximum of 2 GB), this can act as a performance bottleneck, resulting in frequent stutters while exploring. This is especially true if the system's RAM is 8 GB and under. Increasing the paging file size (such as from 2 GB to 8 GB) can drastically improve performance and reduce stutters.
Increase paging file size
|
- Open start menu, type "run" and use run command.
- Enter systempropertiesadvanced. Go to "Advanced" tab and click settings.
- Go to "Advanced" and choose "programs" instead of "background services".
- Under virtual memory, click change. Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file for all drives" at the top.
- Select custom size. Although there is no definitive paging file size, try making the initial and maximum both 12288.
- Click OK and restart your computer. Try the game to see if performance is improved.
