Quick answer

Start with the developer’s pinned troubleshooting guide. It recommends checking graphics settings, including RTXDI, and identifies autosave stutter as a known issue. Change one thing at a time so you can tell what helps.

Low FPS and graphics settings

  1. Open the graphics settings and note your current choices.
  2. Try turning off RTXDI, as advised in the official troubleshooting thread.
  3. The developer advises against ray tracing with 12 GB VRAM or less.
  4. Compare the same scene after each change.

Stuttering when the game saves

The guide identifies autosave stutter. Turning off autosave may be a diagnostic option, but you must remember to save manually or risk losing progress. It is not a blanket recommendation to disable saving.

About the DirectX 11 workaround

The thread mentions -d3d11 as a last resort and says that path is unsupported. It may have its own issues. Do not treat it as the default launch configuration or a guaranteed crash fix.

Make a useful bug report

  • State whether you are playing the demo or full game.
  • Include your game version, CPU, GPU and memory.
  • Describe the shortest sequence that reproduces the issue.
  • Add the exact error message or a screenshot if available.
  • Say which troubleshooting steps you already tried.
