Remnant 2 The Forgotten Kingdom "stuttering and freezing" error: Possible fixes, reasons, and more explored

In Remnant 2 The Forgotten Kingdom, the "stuttering and freezing" error is one of the biggest issues affecting its gameplay on PC. While the new story expansion for Remnant 2 is quite good, with plenty of content for returning players to delve into, a brand new archetype, and a host of bosses to fight, the technical issues bog down the DLC's quality.

Fortunately, the stuttering and freezing issues can be somewhat rectified with a bit of tinkering with the in-game settings on PC. Although the results might differ across configurations, lowering some specific settings and enabling upscalers (DLSS, or FSR), could fix the technical issues with the DLC.

Here are the possible fixes for the "stuttering and freezing" error in Remnant 2 The Forgotten Kingdom DLC.

The first measure to troubleshoot any performance-related issues in a game is to ensure your PC meets the minimum system requirements mentioned by the developer. While Remnant 2 doesn't boast system requirements that are too outrageous for current-gen systems, they are still on a higher end of the spectrum, especially on the GPU side.

Here are the minimum and recommended system requirements for Remnant 2 The Forgotten Kingdom DLC:

Minimum

Recommended

Additionally, since it's an Unreal Engine 5 title, with support for Nanite, installing Remnant 2 on an SSD is highly recommended, preferably on a Gen-3 or above NVMe drive.

After ensuring your PC meets the system requirements, start by lowering settings like Shadow Quality, Foliage Quality, Effects Quality, and Post Processing to Medium or Low. I recommend sticking with the Medium preset if you have at least 8GB VRAM. However, if you have 6GB or lower, go with the Low preset.
