Stuttering/freezing issues?

[FakeSympathy]

My Specs:

RTX 3080
i5-13600K
32 GB RAM

I am not quite sure how to describe this issue; The shader/cache or whatever the data the game needs to load in gets loaded in late, giving me choppy audios and stuttering cutscenes. It happens EVERY TIME I hit continue from the main menu, or when I load in a new chapter. It's a shame, because some of these cutscenes look epic and I can't stand audio being out of sync and cutscenes freezing. Going in-game doesn't really help either, because it freezes/stutters there as well!

Thankfully it only lasts first few min after I start the game, but I feel I am skipping some really cool cutscenes

I'm on an rtx3060 and have the exact same problem. I'm running a pretty quick ssd so its not that but is extremely frustrating to play

Lack of proper psocaching which can be easily fixed by adding it to the engine.ini

Try windows display settings, graphics settings, browse, B1.exe, options turn to high performance. If you have a M.2 swap the game over to that, UE5 is demanding on all systems.
