STAR WARS: JEDI FALLEN ORDER [FIX STUTTERING AND PERFORMANCE ISSUES]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1172380/STAR_WARS_Jedi_La_Orden_cada/

As you know, nowadays, PC games have tons of issues (especially those that use Unreal Engine 4), but people usually don't know how to fix some of the issues you may suffer, like performance issues (FPS, stuttering, etc.). Do you want to know how to solve this and play this game stutter-free and with rock-solid FPS?

Read the next guide, and you will find out!
USE VULKAN ASYNC [DXVK-ASYNC]
As you know, every game useS DirectX 12 (instead of DirectX11 or even Vulkan), and does not take advantage of the good things that Vulkan has to offer us. For that, you would have to download Vulkan Async, a great tool that adds Vulkan to your game and improves performance significantly, saying goodbye to stutters or FPS drops.
DOWNLOAD AND ADD VULKAN TO YOUR GAME
Firstly, you must know that using Vulkan has It's pros and cons. The pros are having a great performance, and the cons are the stutter you have sometimes for a bit until the game stabilizes It's performance, but you will have a great experience after a few minutes.

All you need to do is download this VULKAN ASYNC driver [github.com]



Once you downloaded that file, you need to go to your Steam game library, right click to STAR WARS: Jedi Fallen Order and then go to Manage and later to Browse local files.



You will be inside STAR WARS: Jedi Fallen Order folder.

Now go to SwGame:



Then to Binaries:



And finally to Win64. You will be inside the game's folder:





Now open dxvk-async-2.0.tar.gz that you previously downloaded (using 7z[www.7-zip.org] or WinRar).

You will start on dxvk-async-2.0:



Select x64:



And finally, select dxgi.dll & d3d11.dll:

Drag and put both files dxgi.dll and d3d11.dll inside the game's folder:



inside the game's folder create a document called dvk.conf and open it with Windows Notepad or Notepad++[notepad-plus-plus.org]



Inside the document you have to write this lines:


dxvk.enableAsync= True
d3d11.ignoreGraphicsBarriers = True
d3d11.relaxedBarriers = True




Save the document and that's all related to the Vulkan renderer. Keep in mind once you start the game two files will be created: starwarsjedifallenorder_d3d11.log and starwarsjedifallenorder_dxgi.log.



WARNING: Keep in mind that you may suffer a few stutters ocassionally, more when you go to a new area of the game (or even during cutscenes), until it loads all the shaders, but after that, If you visit that area again, the game should run without any issue (same happens with cutscenes too).
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
Since the game uses our CPU resources really badly, I found a command that will improve the performance of the game. For that, just follow the next steps:

Go to your Steam game library, right-click to STAR WARS: Jedi Fallen Order and then go and select Properties.



On GENERAL tab you will see the LAUNCH OPTIONS. Over there, just add this line:
"-USEALLAVAILABLECORES -high" (without the quotation marks).



Like that, the game will take advantage of all the cores of your CPU instead of just one of them, improving the performance in general.
ADDITIONAL NOTES [NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL]


Go to the NVIDIA'S CONTROL PANEL and do the following steps:

  • Go to Manage 3D Settings, and then go to Program Settings tab, and then add a new application (in this case select STAR WARS: JEDI FALLEN ORDER).
  • Select Low Latency and Activate it.
  • Select Triple Buffer and Activate it (This one is optional)
MY FELLOW JEDI: MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!
I made the guide after having the same problems as some of you had, so, keep in mind that every PC is different and results may vary in some cases, but I hope everything works well for you.

Enjoy STAR WARS: Jedi Fallen Order, and remember: MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. Remember to rate this guide with some stars, leave a comment or give me some points If It was useful for you!



I do not accept friend requests unless It's someone I know for a bit. If you have any issue with the game (If It's related to this guide in particular), you are more than welcome to tell what happens to you in the comments, but I'll not go further than that.

vulkan for me gave even worse performance and stability ... only "control panel" options did the trick

Unfortunately the only thing seems to work the best is playing below 60fps. playing at 45fps got rid of the stutters for me. nearly unacceptable for a pc game but it is what it is.

Thank you very much! My game runs amazing now.

I did not add the vulkan translator.

What i did instead was enable(force) Triple Buffering in the nvidia control panel. I think both AMD and Intel have the same option in their respective settings app. Also turned up max FPS to 144 and enabled Vsync in game.
The stutters are not completely gone but are now bearable to the point where i can pretend they don't exist.

I'm pretty sure there's a Digital Foundry video where they discuss these stutters and conclude that it is impossible to completely get rid of them. It stutters in the exact same places every time the shaders need compiling. It's just the way this game is(on PC) unfortunately.

Another thing aswell,graphics take a hit using this aswell,doesnt look so crisp,in my case 5120x1440 looks like 3840 x 1080

This kind of works,i mean,like the op said,once the shaders are loaded in,if u die it doesnt appear to have to load them in again at first test but with all due respect.and this isnt the poster fault but it still kind of wrecks the experience.You just want to pick the game up,get locked in and have some fun with it without it stuttering around.like i said,fair play to the author for the effort,it least someone has tried to resolve this but this problem is on EA,pretty much every game they release is a stuttering mess.its a real problem because all their games have great ideas and fantastic artwork.Personally i wouldnt mind if developers unpacked all shaders,literally everything needed to run the game smoothly even if it was like 250 gb.EA really need to sort their shit out.Any,thx OP for your efforts,dont suppose u can make a fix that unpacks everything prior by anychance? =)
