Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a massive game with a beautiful open world.
In fact, it is twice the size of the first game.
Moreover, there’s a lot going on in the open world.
As a result, players—even with a decent PC—often face lag and stutter issues.
This was a common issue even in the first game; from the looks of it, even the sequel suffers from the same problems.
So keep reading my guide as I share some working fixes that you can use to get rid of lag and stutters in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
At least to a decent extent!

Updating the graphics driver
Whenever a new game like Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 comes out; we get a driver update that ensures the game runs smoothly and that you get a stable FPS.
But most of the time, the driver auto-install is turned off.
And most people don’t check for new GPU driver updates that frequently.
So, head to your Nvidia, AMD, or Intel site or application and check for any pending driver updates.
If there are any, install it and restart your PC.
Installing an old graphics driver
If you are already using the latest GPU driver and are still facing unusual lag and stutter issues while playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, I recommend performing a fresh driver install.
That is, remove the current GPU driver, manually download an old driver, and install it.
A clean driver install often fixes the lag and stutter issues, as it did in the first game.
Reducing CPU load
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a CPU-heavy game. Even the first part was.
So, it is best to ensure your CPU load is not too high while playing the game.
If it is, try closing applications like web browsers and background apps.
You can also use Razor Cortez Game Booster, as it does the job for you and closes all unnecessary apps while you play the game.
Use DLSS and such settings
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 offers DLSS and such deep learning and upscaling techniques to scale low resolution to a higher one.
Use them, as these settings greatly help improve the FPS.
In fact, it is the one and only setting that can give you a massive boost in FPS.
Optimize your graphics settings
Whether it was the first game or the latest one, Kingdom Come Deliverance is a poorly optimized game.
So, to get a stable FPS, you might have to lower that resolution and use graphics settings based on your hardware.
Even mid- to some decent high-end PCs struggle to run the game in maximum settings.
Turn some of the settings down! It’s not worth the frame loss.
Check the power supply and select the correct GPU (For Laptop users only!)
I sometimes use my laptop to play games, take screenshots, record videos, and write guides whenever I am away from home.
And I often forget to plug the power cable in before playing the game.
Sometimes, I also have to ensure that the game is running on the dedicated GPU instead of the Intel or AMD one.
So, if you are on a laptop and facing lag and stutter issues while playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, before you try anything, make sure your laptop is plugged in.
And make sure your game is running on the right graphics card.
Updating the game to the latest version
The devs frequently roll out new patches with several fixes, including performance.
So make sure to keep your game up to date.
