BEHOLD, my 5 essential tips for better performance and minimal stuttering!!!!
I love this game but the windows store version suffers from stuttering and fps drops in populated areas. I solved this in 5 easy steps!!

1.Reduced shadows and screen effects to medium (Game still looks great. helps with fps, try low if your system is older)

2. Moved the game to my SSD (somewhat reduces stuttering and microfreezing in the world)

3. Went into windows settings under gaming and disabled all gamebar and capture settings (these caused major stutter in my game!!)

4. Reverted my Nividia drivers back to 441.12 (This made the game run at a higher average fps and reduced stuttering on my system!!!)

5. UPDATE. Nvidia has made Ultra low latency mode compatible with G-sync/G-sync compatible displays. Enabling these settings + v-sync ON in Nvidia control panel will reduce input lag by up to 20%. It will additionally cap your FPS by -3 your refresh rate, and make the game feel smoother in all situations!

Notes: These tweaks have reduced my microstutter considerably and reverting my drivers has increased my fps in populated areas. It now stays much closer to 60 fps in Edgewater and the game just feels smoother overall with a average of 90 fps in most situations

Specs:
RTX 2070 8gb
Ryzen 5 1600x
16gb ram
SSD
Windows 10

Ask on the epic forums. I'm sure that by now nearly a year after launch they have to have created at least a basic forum for games on their platform.

Edit: Op edited his post after I posted my reply to change from a question he was asking to advice, and then he tried to call me out on it when you can see my post was 1 hour ago and his edit was 13 min ago.

Im not asking a question. This post is tips for those looking to gain performance in this game. These tips dont even apply to the epic game store version (some might) they are mainly for the windows app/gamepass version.

Nice. Taking the grade school approach to arguing now eh? Well that shows people all they need to know about whether to take you seriously or not, good day.

Stop acting like a child and let it go. You would think someone out of grade school would just end a childish argument instead of continuing it by acting like a child themselves. Good day.

lol The only edit i made was to clarify some things and i added a 5th performance tip.....Seriously dude this was never a question. It was always performance tips.....Can you just admit you skimmed my post and left an ignorant response? When you skim the title and then leave a response you just make yourself sound like an idiot....Next time take a few seconds to actually read the contents before you reply.

Just ignore him. He skimmed my post and left a stupid reply....Now hes desperate to save face by accusing me of editing the post....I DID edit the post but only to add a 5th performance tip....Thats why the 5th tip has "UPDATE" in front of it :steamfacepalm:
