Why are Diablo 4 Stuttering Issues Happening?
The most common issues are related to lagging occurring, especially during high-intensity moments in the game. This can be natural at times for a game’s beta — even more so if you don’t have the minimum recommended hardware to run Diablo 4.
Nonetheless, stuttering isn’t just happening to those who don’t have the recommended specs. There is a known issue by some players that VRAM optimization isn’t handled the greatest at the moment. This is why changing both Shadow and Texture quality can have such a positive impact. After changing some of the settings you should see less overall stuttering happen.
