Stopping Forest Region Stutters
While sneaking up on enemy camps, the screen would just freeze for 0.4 seconds, which is a nightmare in an open-world game. I tried lowering all graphics settings to the minimum, but counter-intuitively, this actually increased the driver latency, making me very cautious. I ran the GamePP Peripheral Driver Conflict Detection Tool, found a resource conflict with an old USB driver, and updated the drivers. Frame times finally stabilized at 12-18ms per RTSS, VRAM usage stayed at 7.2-7.8GB per GPU-Z, and temps sat at 70-78℃ per HWiNFO.
