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

Thankfully, a number of fixes exist that should sort some of the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla stutter and lag issues on PC.
