The Isle Stuttering and FPS Drops
Closed thread Closed by archiveAnyone else get random stutters in The Isle?
My average FPS looks okay, but the game sometimes freezes for a moment when I'm moving around. It makes encounters pretty annoying because everything is smooth until suddenly it isn't.
Not sure if I should start changing graphics settings or look at something else first. What should I check without messing up every setting on my PC?

Lowering every setting to minimum isn't always the answer. Change a couple of things at a time so you know what actually helps.
True. Also watch your temperatures and memory usage while the stutters happen.
Check whether anything is downloading or running in the background. Steam downloads have ruined more of my evenings than I want to admit.
Is it happening everywhere or only around busy areas?
Mostly when moving between areas, but I've noticed it elsewhere too.
That detail helps. Keep track of when it happens and compare after each change. Otherwise you'll have no idea what fixed it, if anything.
