Hello, I wanted to report a performance issue with Alan Wake 2 that may be affecting many users with RDNA 2 GPUs. With driver version 24.10.1, I’m experiencing severe stuttering and frametime inconsistencies. Even at the lowest possible graphics settings, the game runs at around 90 FPS but remains practically unplayable due to constant stuttering.
I’ve tried switching to several other driver versions, but none have resolved the issue. I also attempted to use AMD Frame Generation and AMD Chill to stabilize the performance, but neither improved the gameplay experience. The problem can be easily reproduced in the first chapter when heading into town for the first time, and similar issues are widely reported in online benchmarks, suggesting this might be affecting many RDNA 2 users.
My setup is as follows: RX 6600, Ryzen 5 5600, 16GB RAM at 3200MHz, B550M-PLUS motherboard, running on Windows 10 version 22H2.
