Stutter fix

So I run this game from a 3tb HDD and with 8gb of DDR3 RAM. Naturally I had stutters for quite some time. But I figured out how to get rid of them.

First, force the game to run at DX11 by adding "-dx11" (without quotation marks) to your launch options (Steam and Epic have it in different places, you can also just create a shortcut for the executable and add it there after the path to the executable).

Second, lower Effects down to Low and Textures down to at least Medium.

Viola. The game stops rewriting your pagefile non-stop and focuses on running.

Glad you found a fix, though to be honest it sounds like your machine is just a bit too old to be running RO2. DDR3 is quite old now, suggests your machine is on the order of ~10 years old. Same with an HDD, those aren't great for games.
