Back 4 Blood might run well on gaming PCs, but it can still experience stutter and lag during the intense zombie action. Fortunately, the game offers many different ways of fine-tuning the settings, and there are other things users can do to get better and smoother performance. Here’s how to stop and fix the Back 4 Blood stutter and lag.
How to fix Back 4 Blood stutter and lag on PC
- Ensure the latest Nvidia or AMD graphics card driver is installed.
- Run the game in Fullscreen mode, as Windowed can sometimes cause stutter.
- Close any unnecessary apps that may be sucking up performance in the background.
- Lower the graphics settings to get a more consistent frame-rate. This best PC settings guide will help.
- When changing graphics settings, note that Motion Blur resets to being “On” if it was disabled. Be sure to disable it again.
Following the steps above should help make the game smoother. However, it’s also worth noting that, at the time of writing, Back 4 Blood is still in beta. This means that performance hiccups and other issues may be commonplace.
In GameRevolution’s experience, with systems ranging from moderately powerful to the best available, Back 4 Blood runs extremely well. Any lag or stutter experienced by the team was put down to connectivity issues, which may also be prevalent during the beta stage of testing this game.
If stutter or lag issues continue, be sure to revisit the game at a later date to see if there has been a fix.
