How to fix Wuthering Waves stuttering?

Common causes: (1) DLSS Frame Gen causing menu stutter — cap frame rate 2–3 below monitor refresh, (2) DLSS Ultra Quality bugged — use Quality instead, (3) memory leak after 4+ hours — restart periodically.

Does Wuthering Waves support DLSS?

Yes, Wuthering Waves supports DLSS, FSR, Frame Generation, and Ray Tracing. Note: DLSS Ultra Quality mode is bugged and reverts to default — use Quality mode instead.

Why does Wuthering Waves stutter in menus with DLSS Frame Gen?

This affects ~35% of RTX 5070 owners. The fix is to set Max Frame Rate to 2–3 FPS below your monitor refresh rate (e.g., 141 FPS for a 144Hz monitor). This eliminates the Frame Gen menu stutter.
