Solution Steps
- 1 Update your GPU driver to the latest version. Press Windows key + X, select 'Device Manager', expand 'Display adapters', right-click your GPU, and select 'Update driver'. Choose 'Search automatically'. This can fix timing bugs.
- 2 Check your GPU temperature. Download HWInfo, run it, and play the game for 10 minutes. If the temperature exceeds 85°C, your GPU may be throttling. Clean your PC's fans and ensure good airflow.
- 3 Lower the game's graphics settings, especially 'Shadow Quality' and 'Reflections'. These are computationally heavy and can cause the GPU to lag.
- 4 Enable V-Sync (Vertical Sync) in the game's settings. This caps the frame rate to your monitor's refresh rate, reducing the load on the GPU.
- 5 If you have an overclock, reset it to default. Use MSI Afterburner or your GPU's software to click 'Reset'. Overclocks can cause timing issues.
- 6 Run the game in windowed mode instead of fullscreen. This can sometimes reduce GPU load and timing issues.
