Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Stutter and Lag Fix | How to improve frame-rate

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla stutter and lag can throw the player’s experience off and make raiding enemy camps more difficult thanks to its occasionally stuttering frame-rate. Frame-rate drops can affect all players across PC, PS4, and Xbox One (frame-drops on 30 FPS console versions is somewhat standard). Fortunately, there are a couple of ways to fix the game’s frame-rate problems to some extent, at least, on PC. Here’s how to fix the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla stutter and lag and improve its frame-rate.

How to remove stutter and fix lag in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

In a big open-world game such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, there is bound to be some level of frame-rate stuttering. This is true across all platforms, especially at launch. The capped 30fps experience on PS4 and Xbox One is a little patchy, unfortunately. On PC, though, the experience can be worse.
