Many players are experiencing stuttering issues in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, particularly on PC, despite the game's release a couple of weeks ago. This guide outlines solutions to resolve this problem.

Several players have reported stuttering problems on platforms like Reddit. The PC version, in particular, seems to suffer from performance inconsistencies. Fortunately, the community has identified several fixes.

Solution 1: Update your Graphics Drivers

Installing the NVIDIA GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 572.24 (for Windows 10 and 11) is a highly recommended first step. Released shortly after the game's launch, this hotfix addresses stuttering and crashing issues reported by numerous players.

Solution 2: Check your Controller Connection

If the hotfix doesn't resolve the issue, consider your controller connection. Using a Bluetooth controller has been identified as a potential source of stuttering for some players. Switching to a wired USB connection may significantly improve performance.

Solution 3: Adjust In-Game Graphics Settings

As a last resort, adjust the game's graphics settings. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 provides extensive Advanced Graphics Settings allowing for optimization. Lowering settings from High to Medium, or Medium to Low, might be necessary to eliminate stuttering, even if it means a slight visual compromise. Experiment with different combinations to find the optimal balance between performance and visuals.

Once stuttering is resolved, you can optimize settings for improved visuals. Consult optimization guides (such as those available on The Escapist) to enhance your graphical experience while maintaining smooth gameplay.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
