Frequently Asked Questions

The most common causes are: (1) Anti-tamper DRM micro-stutters — install REFramework to fix, (2) bugged DirectStorage v1.2.2 — manually update to v1.2.3+, (3) incorrect ParallelBuildProcessorCount — edit config.ini to match your CPU thread count. These three fixes alone can transform the experience.
