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 offers solutions to resolve this frustrating problem.

Troubleshooting Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Stuttering on PC

Numerous reports across online gaming communities highlight significant performance issues, with stuttering being the most prevalent complaint. This affects even players who meet the game's recommended specifications. 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. Many users report this hotfix effectively eliminates stuttering and resolves accompanying crashing problems. This driver was released shortly after the game's launch.

Solution 2: Check Your Controller Connection

A surprising number of players using Bluetooth controllers experienced stuttering. Switching to a wired USB connection often resolves this issue.

Solution 3: Adjust In-Game Graphics Settings

If the above solutions don't work, you'll need to adjust the game's graphics settings. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 provides extensive advanced graphics options. While reducing visual quality is undesirable, it may be necessary to achieve smooth gameplay.

Start by lowering settings from High to Medium, and Medium to Low. Experiment with different combinations until you find a balance between visual fidelity and performance.

Optimizing Settings for High FPS

Once stuttering is resolved, you can optimize settings to maximize visual quality without impacting performance. Refer to dedicated guides (such as those found on The Escapist) for optimal PC settings to achieve high FPS in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
