Veilguard stuttering
Hi all, I finally got around to purchasing Dragon Age: The Veilguard a week ago. It ran great at first, but then it started stuttering. I have to turn V sync on to stop the screen tearing, but that'...

holger1405 Thanks for getting back to me.
1) Check Health: No errors.
2) Restore health: Took a long time but it eventually completed.
"The restore operation completed successfully. The operation completed successfully."
3) Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
FYI: I've just tried two other potential fixes:
- ticking "Run as administrator" in the game exe file's Compatibility tab
- ticking "Run this program in compatibility mode" (Windows 7)
Neither of those worked either. Trying out the DPI settings. (I think I tried those before but am trying them again.) EDIT: These didn't help either.
it sounds like a Shader Cache issue.
Make sure your driver cache settings are at standard settings.
Also delete the Shader Cache folder of the game.- Press the Windows key and R at the same time.
- Copy and paste "%LOCALAPPDATA%\BioWare\Dragon Age The Veilguard" (without the quotes.) into the new Window > Press ENTER.
- Delete the "Cache" folder.
- Restart the PC.
- Test.
holger1405 I've deleted the shader cache folder numerous times. I've also set the shader cache size to "unlimited" via the Nvidia Control Panel global settings. Neither of those things helped.
I need to do more testing (that is, playing the game), but I think *fingers crossed* that I have found a solution with help from Google's AI Mode! Since my BIOS is a bit rudimentary and doesn't appear to allow me to underclock or undervolt easily, AI Mode suggested I do this instead:
- Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings
- Changed Advanced Power Settings
- Expand Processor Power Management
- Set Minimum Processor State to 80%
- Set Maximum Processor State to 95%
According to AI Mode, this works as a "soft" underclock. This *appears* to have fixed it, as I've just played for over an hour without any stuttering, but we'll see ...
