Ready or Not – How to Fix Stuttering

My self, like many others people have reported before, had very bad performance on DX12 while playing the game almost on any map and any game mode – Stutterings, FPS drops etc you name it…

Guide to Fix Stuttering

Сrеdit gоеs to Hello world!

Note: DX11 was always pretty much stable for me but i kept being obsessed on to how to get DX12 work properly.

The Solution That I Found

So what i’ve done is to delete the game config folder to reset the game graphical settings (delete the Ready or not config folder completely).

it’s located in:

• C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\ReadyOrNot

Note: Make sure you can see hidden folders in windows folders settings.

Alternatively, if you can’t find it just click:

Start -> run – Paste the following command

%localappdata%/ReadyOrNot/Saved

Now you need to delete that folder and relaunch the game in DX12 mode and set your video settings just as they were before.

I’ve done that and suddenly it’s not stuttering anymore in DX12 mode and i’ve got HUGE FPS boost.

I’ve tested on several maps including club, twisted nerve, gas station etc… and did some runs to comapre how it runs on DX11 VS DX12. The results are amazing – DX12 is much more smooth with much higer FPS gain.

Pretty much every map runs silky smooth now with DX12. No stutterings, no lags, no drops.

I’ll keep checking this further but so far the results are amazing.

Potential Reason:

I think the reason for this to happen in the first place is that some users has the game installed for a long time and some old pre-cached shaders and world gen files and configuration left from older builds of the game which casue it to run poorly and stutter on DX12 for some players on the new latest June build.

Conclusion:

If you are willing to give it a shot, please report back. The FPS boost you will gain is about +50 FPS on avrage.

Unfortunately it won’t work for everyone but people with RTX gpu should really see a major improvement overall.

If it still does not cure the problem

1. Open Steam Settings and click Downloads.
2. Turn off all shader pre-cache items, delete the download cache and restart your PC.
3. Turn on all shader pre-cache items.
4. Open %Localappdata%\D3DSCache and delete all files (this is the DirectX cache file).
5. Delete the NVIDIA cache,Search for “how to delete nvidia cache”.
6. Perform an integrity check on your game files.

If this does not solve the problem, try a clean install.
