What people are reporting as stuttering, he says, is actually caused by an unusual mouse movement bug that can present itself regardless of whether you run the game at a locked 30, 60, or 120 FPS (or even if you don't lock at all and use G-Sync or FreeSync to manage hitching). There are a couple exceptions, which he points out, but that is generally the case. In fact, he says, Deathloop boasts fantastic frametimes, with no stand-out CPU usage problems to speak of (on average hardware, anyway). As Battaglia & co discovered, it is not, generally speaking, because the game is making poor use of your system's resources. What is relevant to us is why Deathloop seems to be stuttering on PC at all. However, the latter isn't the relevant bit for now.

To be specific, some customers have been plagued by frustrating stuttering issues they can't seem to fix themselves.įortunately, an end to these problems could be in sight at long last, thanks to the efforts of everybody's favorite gaming graphics tech YouTube channel Digital Foundry (as well as Deathloop's developers themselves).ĭF's Alex Battaglia covers all of the latest details regarding Deathloop's PC performance optimization in the video below, among other things, such as how Deathloop's PC port stacks up against its PS5 counterpart. As is often the case with Arkane games, Deathloop's PC version has suffered from a few nagging performance problems since its September 13 release. In context: Arkane's latest immersive sim-slash-shooter-slash-stealth-'em-up, Deathloop, released mere days ago to rave reviews (for the most part).
