Phantom Blade Zero: Stuttering Is Unbearable at This Point with Video Proof (Workarounds)

The problem

I wish I could just get my refund so I didn't have to face this; I am so tired at this point So in this video I am showing how this game has been running till now, and this is the latest update that came just a few hours ago, but this extreme stuttering has been there since I bought the game on the 2nd of Nov. I am so tired of trying different settings and methods. An AAA game in 2026 shouldn't…

What players suggest

Are you using RT by any chance? That makes it a lot worse even on top end hardware. Try to isolate the issue. Toggle graphics settings one by one and see if you can reduce it. I would start by setting everything as low as possible to see if it's a RAM/VRAM problem.

So far anything I ran worked really well, even after streaming Onimusha, Ninja Gaiden 4, God of War, Dead Space remake, and RE9 Pragmata Doom Dark Ages all ran on 100 Fps+. They all ran flawlessly, so it's a game fault, and if it's not for 16GB, they should not write in their recommended spec section, this might be the 1st game that ran like absolute ♥♥♥♥ so far

Nah, mate, actually in that video I have shown my settings and changed them many times. I wouldn't even touch or try RT since it's already running very bad. Also, it's most likely that the game uses too much RAM, but it runs very smoothly at least at the start of the game. After that, Forest level just ran really, really bad even at the lowest settings
