Far Far West Stuttering After Update: What to Try
Quick Answer
For Far Far West stuttering after the Frostburn update, first try AMD FSR both ON and OFF—the developer recommends this for performance problems and crashes. Change one setting at a time. The September 8 patch also supports -vulkan and -sm5 as optional launch choices. Neither is a guaranteed fix, and enemy-spawn stutter while hosting can remain unresolved.

Before you set out
Prerequisites#
- Use the September 8 v0.2.0.20 patch as the version reference.
- Keep a note of your current graphics settings and any existing launch options.
Route 02
Compare AMD FSR ON and OFF#
Record your starting setting#
Check whether AMD FSR is enabled before changing it. Keep the other graphics choices the same so the comparison has a clear starting point.
Try the other FSR state#
The developer specifically recommends trying AMD FSR ON or OFF for performance issues or crashes. Compare the same kind of gameplay after changing it.
Keep or undo that change#
If the alternative is worse, restore your previous setting. If it makes no useful difference, move to the next optional test instead of changing several settings together.
Route 03
Try a supported launch option separately#
Preserve the existing launch options#
Keep a copy of any options already set for the game before editing them.
Test one renderer option#
The September 8 notes added support for -vulkan and -sm5. Try one option at a time as a compatibility test; do not assume that combining them is required.
Remove the added option to revert#
If the game runs worse or the test does not help, remove the option you added and return to the previous launch configuration.
