Game started stuttering horribly out of the sudden

Issue Type (Required):

Performance

Issue Description (Required):

I have been playing this game for about 700 hours now and stutters have been rare for me the whole time.

Let me start by saying that my system is much more powerful than the game’s recommended system requirements (rtx 3070, I7 11700, 32gb 3600hz RAM, 1TB SSD) I’ve been always using the highest graphics settings.

I have not done anything with the game or my PC this week, I have not changed any settings, either in the game or on my PC, all I have been doing this week was working and playing VT1 and VT2. About the day before yesterday when I switched from VT1 to VT2 and I started to notice that something was wrong. The game was getting very clanky when a lot of effects and enemies were present, every horde event. I was experiencing input lag to the point that it was affecting my skill level. I have noticed that stutters are almost constant now when doing something, it stutters about every 4-5 weapon hits, when throwing a grenade, any explosion, often stutters when hitting an enemy with a weapon, when changing weapons and quickly hitting. Previously, if I noticed such problems, they did not affect my game, but now it really spoils my game and I want to know how can I solve this problem?

I don’t deny that there might be something wrong with my PC, although I don’t believe that PCs can just degrade like that for no reason, and I would like to get help. I tried monitoring background processes while playing and I don’t have any apps running other than Discord, but it has never affected my performance like that and my PC should be able to handle it. Today I tried playing without Discord and noticed that stutters are still bothering me.

Please help me resolving this issue.

Hey @NikolajGogol,

I did respond to your Steam forum post, but I’ll copy it here too :slight_smile:

Sorry to hear this. I recommend trying possible solutions here:

Failing this, please try a clean re-installation of Vermintide 2, which involves deleting your AppData (please note any custom settings e.g. keybindings will be lost):
