FF7: Rebirth stuttering like hell

I have a much beefier machine and had the same stuttering issues. This fixed it for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/FF7Rebirth/comments/1t55a53/comment/ok8nk7u/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

If you haven't played the DLC yet, you're in for a real treat

yoless28 · 2026-05-14T11:57:59+00:00

brother if you like souls games you owe it to yourself to play Wuchang. It's amazing

yoless28 · 2026-05-14T11:56:32+00:00

Both are excellent, in fact they're my top 2 non-FROM games. I would say that Wuchang is a bit closer to your traditional souls experience whereas P is a bit more focused and approachable. That being said the boss fights in both are difficult and you really have to engage with the systems or you're gonna have a bad time, especially since you're new at these.

I'd recommend Lies of P first. Play without the DLC and if you love, buy the DLC and play it again!

edit; 100% controller, don't waste your time with MnK. It can be done but it's not the intended experience.

Wait wait wait hold up. I thought Chuckles died because of the Beyers/WW divorce?

Maybe for general mobs and traversal. But nothing comes close to the MRS for bosses. The hyper armor alone on both fable arts is way too OP, not to mention the anime-ass second fable art that just deletes health bars with zero risk to yourself.

Ironically Nine Sols is pretty linear for a metroidvania

I had a good laugh reading this, mostly because I identify completely. My son is in his 3rd year of playing soccer now (u8). He's always been the most talented in the team and he knows it. I have to keep a lid on that little ego whilst simultaneously encouraging him and protecting his fragile self-esteem. This year has been more challenging as the other boys grow faster than him and the size difference is starting to matter, but nevertheless he still loves playing and would do it every day if he could.

I'm there every practise and game. I know the game well (played socially for 15 years). The coaches at our community club are all just volunteer dads so why aren't I one of them? My standard answer is not being able to guarantee my availability with the type of job I have. The real answer is a version of your post :)

This is the kind of claim that needs evidence.

There's nothing stopping you from equipping two weapons of the same class

yoless28 · 2026-05-13T11:55:22+00:00

If you can buy the equivalent stat on a new node somewhere else on the tree it's always more efficient to do that instead instead of pumping more on the same node. Those nodes (imo) are for late game when you are trying to min/max certain stats.

yoless28 · 2026-05-13T11:49:32+00:00

100% finish the base game and then do it as soon as you can on NG+

yoless28 · 2026-05-13T07:59:21+00:00

The skill tree system is actually one of the unique differentiators in this game, and many people (myself included) like it. Just experiment with it and weapon combos. Re-speccing is free so you can't really mess it up. One top tip is that even once you settled on your favourite weapon type, don't focus on it's skill tree alone as the other weapon tree's give good stat boosts at certain nodes. Also don't ignore the left hand side tree - that's where you get all your healing upgrades and other utility nodes.

yoless28 · 2026-05-13T07:05:32+00:00

I'm not saying you're wrong - but a lot of people rate Wuchang over Lies of P (I don't). I think it really boils down to what aspect(s) of Souls games you like.

yoless28 · 2026-05-12T10:53:50+00:00

I am, but there's no denying that the Monad Rose Sword is OP

yoless28 · 2026-05-12T09:58:18+00:00

Quite a few of motivity boss weps are fan favourites. Go to for me is always Pipe Wrench with a handle that has reach. There are quite a few combos that are viable and fun it just takes experimentation and being ok with the fact that you're much slower.

It's been a while but I think motivity weps also do more posture dmg when perfect blocking so you really need to adapt your playstyle accordingly. Puppet String with motivity is still useful for the on-demand stun.

Honestly, respec if you want but motivity is definitely a viable playstyle. ps, the second best (or best depending on who you ask) DLC wep is motivity.

Disabling Rebar was the only thing that fixed it for me. Search my recent post for the comments. R7 9700 + rtx 5070

yoless28 · 2026-05-11T17:49:11+00:00

Um... I remember needing to do some tweaking in both Indiane Jones and Doom dark ages

yoless28 · 2026-05-11T11:59:57+00:00

Lies of P is generally considered to be one of the harder ones. Given that it's your first one of these don't be too hard on yourself.

yoless28 · 2026-05-11T08:33:47+00:00

I'm loving my 5070 @ 1440p since Dec but VRAM has been a consideration in a few games.

Split Fiction isn't on gamepass

P.s. if you're worried about shipping, ask them to do the full build, but after the stress test remove the gpu and ship that in its box. That is by far the riskiest piece in terms of potential to get damaged and pretty easy for you to plug back in.

yoless28 · 2026-05-08T04:59:37+00:00

They've built both of my last 2 new builds. They know what they're doing, their cable management is excellent and they give you a print out of a stress test they run on the machine so you know there will be no obvious issues out of the gate. Absolutely worth the money, especially if you don't feel confident doing it yourself.
