Hello fellow stutter sufferer. I have managed to fix it for myself after having similar problems (among others) as detailed here; [1.5.4 breaks overlays](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/1-5-4-breaks-overlays/100779/) Long story short; Completely uninstall Darktide and delete the files left over in the Steam and %appdata% directories. Remove Xbox and MS Overlay systems ([1.5.4 breaks overlays - #7 by styky](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/1-5-4-breaks-overlays/100779/7)) Go to nVidia control panel global options and change the “Shader Cache size” to Disabled and Reboot the PC straight away. Reinstall Darktide. Turn off full screen optimizations for Darktide.exe [Demystifying Fullscreen Optimizations - DirectX Developer Blog](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/demystifying-full-screen-optimizations/) (bottom of main post) If this works, Great! If you have low quality texture issues following this you can turn off Mesh Streaming to improve things further [Low quality assets - #12 by styky](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/low-quality-assets/100616/12) Please let me know if this helps, apologies if you go through all of it and not much changes. There are many people with stuttering and most of them don’t bother to come post about it, if we can find a definite fix maybe Fatshark will do something to fix it for everyone. ---

Yes, this is the case. I’ve just released another post showing and outlining that the game doesn’t have fullscreen optimisations enabled. You can also enable this by change a false to true in the win32\_setttings.ini - post [here](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/fullscreen-optimisations-are-not-enabled-for-darktide-fix-included/103471) Hope this helps. I’ve spent about 50% of my free time the last 5 weeks really digging into this all. ---

The reason menus stutter is because they are not cached at all and so get loaded off the hard drive. If you have a system with 32gb of RAM there is a mod called DarkCache that fixes all the issues with menus. It just takes more system resources and can cause more stuttering if your PC can’t handle it
