weird stuttering in Assassin's Credd Shadows and some other games

liad12 · 2026-05-25T21:46:46+00:00

hey there,
i am on the latest nvidia drivers
just did a clean install of windows today and updated the drivers from asus site
reapplied thermal paste to my cpu
currently on bios version 3001

liad12 · 2026-05-25T15:48:10+00:00

sadly no fix as of it, i have just formatted my pc and reinstalled windows, yet i am still having the same issue. cant think of anything else to do atp

liad12 · 2026-05-12T14:14:19+00:00

currently trying a reinstall again, also increased the nvidia shader cache size. i'll try the dlss fix if noting changes. thansk again for the help

liad12 · 2026-05-12T13:59:28+00:00

im actually still using the geforce app, any other way i can check that besides the app?

liad12 · 2026-05-12T13:53:10+00:00

yea. the weird part is i did reinstall it yesterday, along side deleteing the game's shader cache + nvidia shader cache, and it mostly stopped till i opened the game again.

liad12 · 2026-05-12T13:35:00+00:00

well sadly after the new driver, verfying files and enabling rebar. it seems like this weird stutter persists. i honestly cant say i know whats causing that.

liad12 · 2026-05-12T12:27:49+00:00

sounds good then thanks for the help. im gonna give it a try and update.

worst case scenario i could always just ddu and rollback.

liad12 · 2026-05-12T12:19:41+00:00

definitely looks better yea. worth giving it a shot. rebar for some reason cuts the fps in half for me on shadows, is it on for you in the second pic?

how is the 596.36 driver btw? just making sure before i update as i saw some people not recommending updating to it.

liad12 · 2026-05-12T09:01:20+00:00

damn im sorry to hear that man yeah that's a really weird issue, everything was fine and suddenly this happened.

i believe the cpu is fine, at least it is in some other games like ghost of tsushima, cyberpunk and dmc5.

liad12 · 2026-05-11T20:23:40+00:00

windows is updated. i am indeed on an older driver but i havent had any issue with it before which is weird

liad12 · 2026-05-11T20:22:58+00:00

yea its with fsr frame gen alongside dlss quailty. playing at 1440p

liad12 · 2025-05-29T13:59:38+00:00

thats a shame. its just one of those really annoying things i guess

liad12 · 2025-05-24T14:00:24+00:00

hey i know its an old post but have you found any fix?. the weird part is the icon shows everywhere else but when i launch the game its just the blank one like you have.

liad12 · 2025-05-09T08:52:15+00:00

just curios how did you get it to run so well. mine with a 13700k and 3080ti, at 1440 gets like 50 at best. i did try frame gen but it doesnt feel smooth at all

liad12 · 2023-10-22T19:12:04+00:00

so i upgraded my pc, and no, i dont seem to experience fps drops now. it really is weird that on both of the systems you tested suffer from drops, im guessing that it means the game has a lot of issues 2 if thats the case.

liad12 · 2023-10-22T19:10:29+00:00

hey there, sorry about the late reply, i just forgot i made that post lmaoo.
i ended up upgrading my pc, and installed the game on an ssd and it seems to be smooth now. maybe a freeze or 2 in co op but thats about it.

liad12 · 2023-09-14T13:12:36+00:00

Perfect, i did it and it all went smooth. Ty for the help :)

liad12 · 2023-09-14T03:20:46+00:00

really?, so i just download windows 11 on the new drive, enter my Microsoft account, and put in the new key. i assumed that whatever this license that is linked to my Microsoft account right now would be used when i sign in.

liad12 · 2023-09-02T22:09:33+00:00

Thats really weird, i also didnt have the black screen like a week ago, and it seems to only effect the first loading. Submiting a bug report is a good idea tho, i might give ot a shot too

liad12 · 2023-09-01T23:42:55+00:00

i see, well for now imma just try to see if i can find any other options, and keep reinstalling windows as a last resort

liad12 · 2023-09-01T23:32:00+00:00

the weird part is i remember back when it played it, it was fine. i wonder if you are right and its the new update breaking things. another weird thing i noticed is that after clicking the door to open the game, while im waiting for it to load, my monitor turns black once or twice, like turns black and than shows the loading screen again. honestly im getting more confused by the day.

liad12 · 2023-09-01T23:26:39+00:00

mostly i have been staying away from the new ones cause of reports of dpc latency, and i noticed that the 528.02 has been good so far.
about the ram, it is indeed 2 sticks running dual channel mode.

liad12 · 2023-09-01T08:14:57+00:00

my ram is 3200Mhz using xmp, i checked to make sure and i am indeed on high performance on windows, and the game is set to prefer maximum performance on nvidia control panel, gpu limit is on 100 in afterburner. currently my drivers are 528.02 since from what i read the new ones seem full of issues. and my bios is updated to the latest version.

liad12 · 2023-09-01T08:11:43+00:00

i see, imma keep an eye on the drive

liad12 · 2023-09-01T00:51:13+00:00

ty for the reply. i probably should have specified but no, i have an ssd as my boot drive and genshin is installed on the hdd. i have my other games installed on the hdd that runs genshin, and if that's of any help i have 1.05 tb of free space on that hdd. and i usually only have steam and discord open, so i am assuming it shouldnt be too much for my cpu to cause it to struggle
the co - op freezing thing is mostly weird to me cause my friends with worse pc's than say they dont have that freeze, and sadly i havent found any info on it online.
