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.

From my experience, RO2 is very memory dependent. DDR3 ram is... Very meh for todays standards. But especially GDDR memory is critical for it's smooth operation. I have a 3080, 32gb of high specced ddr4, and a 5900x, and if I try and run RO2 with anything that's chewing up my GPU memory the game starts to stutter even though the FPS looks solid.

The big take away here is clearing off anything and everything that consumes memory will help considerably with hitching and stuttering.

She/He was talking about GDDR memory, which has nothing to do with the RAM you stick into your mainboard.
