Cannot play due to stutter lag
Hello,
I am in a bind. I purchased this and have been so excited to play, but I cannot play for more than three minutes without the game completely stuttering to a near halt. I have been trying for hours (5 hours of just recorded gameplay just to try to troubleshoot, so I am past the point of returning the game) and I am worried I have exhausted all of my options. I will list my specs and things I have tried, and include a video showing the issue (I guess minor spoilers for the first few minutes of gameplay?)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti, 4GB dedicated video RAM, 16 GB RAM, 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz, 540GB Disk Space after install.
Totally wiped the install and all files from the computer and reinstalled - 3 times.
All drivers have been uninstalled and reinstalled directly.
Completely uninstall and reinstall graphics card.
Set all settings within game to lowest possible.
Turned on Game Mode, turned off Game Mode.
Set the game to high priority in task manager.
Used the NVIDIA control panel to change these program settings -
- Turn off sharpening
- Set max frame rate to 50 fps
- GDI compatibility to Prefer Performance
- Rendering GPU to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti
- Power Management mode to Maximum Performance
- Texture filtering - Quality to High Performance
- Trilinear optimization to ON
- Triple Buffering to OFF
- Vsync to OFF
I have toggled all of these settings. I have left some on, some off. I have tried with all of those opposite, and some opposite.
I have tried running DX11, I have tried running with Vulcan.
I have put the --skip-launcher command into the Steam config.
I unplugged my headset and mouse, quit Discord, and went offline.

I am at a loss for what else to do. On paper, I should be able to run this game. I will take any suggestions and try them!
