CONTROL Resonant: Fix for Audio and Performance Stutters (Fix)

Short answer

I have a super fast 2TB SSD, it’s not my card. According to the AI, the game has a bug that constantly is reading the assets from the SSD and taking up bandwidth.

How to fix it

  1. Create a 10 GB RAM cache

    • Use a RAM‑disk or similar utility to allocate a 10 GB block of system memory as a virtual drive.
    • This RAM cache will serve as a buffer for the game’s asset loading, preventing the constant reads that cause audio cuts and frame‑rate stutters.
  2. Move the game’s asset folder to the RAM cache

    • Copy the folder that contains the game’s audio and texture assets (the location where the game reads these files during play) onto the newly created 10 GB RAM drive.
    • Ensure the copy completes before proceeding.
  3. Point the game to the RAM cache

    • In the game’s launch options or configuration file, change the path for asset loading to the location on the RAM drive you just created.
    • Save the changes and close the editor.
  4. Run the game

    • Start CONTROL Resonant as usual. The game will now read assets from the fast RAM cache instead of the SSD, eliminating the bandwidth bottleneck that caused stuttering and audio glitches.

If it still doesn't work

  • Verify the RAM cache is correctly sized (10 GB) and is active before launching the game.
  • Double‑check that the asset folder was fully copied to the RAM drive and that the path in the configuration points to the correct location.
  • Ensure no other background applications are heavily using RAM or disk I/O while you play.
  • Re‑install the game or verify the integrity of the game files in case some assets are corrupted.
  • If the issue persists, consider reporting it to the developers for an official patch.

What players reported

THIS FIXED AUDIO STUTTERING, PERFORMANCE, AND ASSET LOADING ISSUES FOR ME! I kept having constant stuttering, especially during combat, slow asset loading, and audio cutting in and out. I tried every audio format fix, reinstalled drivers, lowered settings (even with my RTX5090), etc and nothing worked. Google AI gave me this fix that finally solved all 3 issues for me: You can create a 10 GB RAM…

I have a super fast 2TB SSD, it’s not my card. According to the AI, the game has a bug that constantly is reading the assets from the SSD and taking up bandwidth. The 10gb cache you create here acts as a buffer. Don’t really understand it too much, but it worked.

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: If so, please try limiting your frames and/or settings so that it doesn’t use more than 75% and see if that resolves the issue for you too.
