Sons of the Forest stutters for many players. In this guide, we will explain why this is the case and give you some solutions.
Sons of the Forest is the sequel to The Forest. If you’ve played the predecessor, you probably know it’s a survival game. Get ready to fight, explore and get eaten. However, many people cannot play the game comfortably because the game is jerky. In this article we will talk about it.
Why did the Sons of the Forest stutter?
In the case of the Children of the Forest, the biggest problem with stuttering is not due to the GPU but to the CPU. What does mean? Graphics settings are not as important in this case as processor power and its load. Of course, they also affect performance, but many players agree that in the case of Sons of the Forest, the difference in graphics settings does not drastically change FPS.
Son of the Forest – stutter fix
- Close all unnecessary applications – they consume valuable power from your PC.
- Update your drivers – It’s always a good idea.
- Install game on SSD – If you can, it is mandatory.
- Limit V-Sync – you need to reduce the load on your CPU.
- don’t be a host – if you want to play a multiplayer game, get someone else to host it.
- Wait a minute – the game stutters more at the beginning because it needs to load shaders.
- Play in borderless windowed mode – many players can see a big difference in FPS when switching to this mode.
Don’t forget the game is on Early Access. This means that players should be prepared for some issues, but at the same time the developers will (at least try) to fix them. It is quite possible that one of the upcoming patches will help in this case.
