Q: What are some of the performance issues players face with Payday 3 on PC?

A: Players are experiencing crashing, lag, stuttering, and low FPS in Payday 3, especially troubling for those with high-end PCs. Some of these crashes even happen without any accompanying error codes, making it challenging to diagnose.

Q: How can I improve the performance of Payday 3 on my PC?

A: One way to address performance issues is to add "-dx12" to the game's launcher, enabling DirectX 12. Adjusting in-game settings can also help, such as reducing the Shadow settings or enabling V-Sync to combat screen tearing. There's a specific item, the Liberty mask, which seems to have compatibility issues with DirectX 12, so removing it might help. Additionally, if you have a VR headset connected, disconnecting it might prevent interference with Payday 3.

Q: What could be the underlying cause of the stuttering in Payday 3?

A: The shaders in the game might be responsible for the stuttering players experience. Another potential factor is the Unreal Engine, used by Payday 3, which has been known to cause stuttering when it renders objects initially.
