Engine INI Tweaks
Engine.ini Tweaks

1 - Go to your file explorer and paste the following:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\LOTF2\Saved\Config\Windows

2 - Open Engine.ini

3 - Copy the commands from one of the links below then paste them at the bottom of the Engine.ini file then save (Some games will automatically remove the commands. If this happens right click > Properties > General > Read-only)

UE4/5 Stutter Fix | High Quality Graphics[pastes.io]

UE4/5 Stutter Fix | Low Quality Graphics[pastes.io]

Please note that this isnt a guaranteed fix, but has worked for me in the past with other UE4/5 Games so this may or may not work



All credit for these above tweaks is to this Reddit post here


Update -

Some further tweaks from the thread that may also help

Here are some additional commands to include. I excluded them because some games crashed when they were enabled but they do help

[/script/engine.renderersettings]
r.CreateShadersOnLoad=1
r.HZBOcclusion=2
r.SkinCache.CompileShaders=1
General Tweaks
1 - Select DX12/Vulkan > DX11 ingame if it is a supported rendering API (In that order, from best to worse. Most of the time anyway)

2 - Disable overlays (GeForce Experience, Steam, etc) not every game will suffer from stuttering with overlays but a lot of big popular games still do as it messes with GPU utilization

Steam Tweaks
If your game is on Steam right click it, click on properties then in the "Launch Options" field paste the following

Low VRAM

-xgeshadercompile -nothreadtimeout

8GB+ VRAM

-xgeshadercompile -nothreadtimeout -NoVerifyGC


Im unsure how to fix the texturing issue thats being reported, if someone is able to fix this and can provide the steps, please comment and I will add this to the guide!

I had framerate issues. Turns out, my ram had low MHz. Base 2400, but it ran on 2100. Clocked it in the BIOS up to 2400mhz. Now it runs fine.

I used this which probably shares a lot in common

Working as of 19 Apr 2025 and no texture or color issues. The No Sharpness Effect mod is a .pak file which according to comments, no longer works. Likely due to new game version. However there is now a sharpness slider in the game settings (might be only for Nvidia cards as it is in the DLSS section). I dont know if there is still a need to mod out sharpness in the latest game version. Played the game for the first time yesterday and it looked fine to me.

This doesn't do anything. The game runs the same. The only difference is, that r.SkinCache.CompileShaders=1 crashes the game on start.

I wonder if at least some of there will work for the horribly optimized stuttering memory leak mess Marvel Rivals

do not use r.SkinCache.CompileShaders=1
""Whether or not to compile the GPU compute skinning cache shaders.\nThis will compile the shaders for skinning on a compute job and not skin on the vertex shader.\nGPUSkinVertexFactory.usf needs to be touched to cause a recompile if this changes.\n0 is off(default), 1 is on""
the game doesn't support realtime raytracing aka r.RayTracing, and HardwareLumenRaytracing

if you don't crash with it, you're not even using dx12 then, but you can still use the software raytracing aka lumen

r.CreateShadersOnLoad=1 and r.SkinCache.CompileShaders=1 in the additional commands dont work for me, with skincache the game throws an error at launch and with shadersonload the game never launches but runs in the background.

with the high quality commands im able to run at a stable 60fps with an rx7600 8gb, at 1080p now
