Resolve Peripheral Driver Conflict
Frame times in Returnal jumped from a stable 8ms to 45ms during swarm fights, which was a fatal stutter. I tried disabling the camera in Device Manager, which fixed the lag but killed my stream. I used GamePP Peripheral Driver Conflict Detector to set the camera sync service to Manual and enabled Hardware Encoding Priority in OBS. RivaTuner showed frame intervals stabilizing at 7-12ms. CPU usage remained efficient at 65-72% per Task Manager, and the control precision is now perfect for high-stakes combat.
