Have you been trying out Dungeonborne? The first-person PvPvE dungeon crawler experience is quite intriguing and to top it off, it also features strategic combat, treasure hunting, and competitive PvP elements. While the game is gaining traction, players like yourself are experiencing some stuttering while they hop into the game. So, is there any way to fix it? Well, let’s find out.
Given that the game is still in Early Access, it’s understandable that you have to run into issues like the stuttering you are experiencing right now. Now, the important thing would be for the developers to address these performance concerns for a smooth experience during the full release. So, have the developers taken steps to fix these issues? Without further ado, let’s explore what’s been done to tackle this problem.
Dungeonborne Stuttering issues troubling players: Is there any fix yet
First of all, you would think that these stuttering issues are due to issues related to game optimizations, your system’s GPU, or anything of that sort. A lot of players have been discussing this problem and turns out that the culprit behind the stuttering could be some DDoS attacks! For those who aren’t technical enough, a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack occurs when many computers send too much traffic to a server, causing it to slow down or crash. In online games, this overload can make the game lag or stutter because the server can’t handle all the extra data. This makes it hard for players to have a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience. This seems to be the case for Dungeonborne as well. We have explained more of it below!
Devs response
In the July 31 update patch notes, the Dungeonborne developers addressed the stuttering issues troubling players, revealing that the game’s servers have been under intense DDoS attacks, causing latency and connection problems. These attacks, usually targeted at major game launches, have been occurring daily, severely impacting the game’s performance. The developers are working closely with their server provider to develop and deploy a protection system within the next few days to mitigate these issues. They have apologized for the inconvenience and assured players that they are working diligently to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. On that note, have they fixed the issue yet?
Fix implemented
Here is the good news! On August 1st, the Dungeonborne developers released a hotfix to address the in-game stuttering issues that had started cropping up in the July 31 patch. This update is live, and we recommend that you update the game/client to their latest versions. And with that, the stuttering problem should be solved. Still, if you are running into these issues, we have some potential fixes to try as well. Check them out below.
Basic Checks
For the first workaround, a simple restart might be able to solve unexpected issues like stuttering. By closing and relaunching Dungeonborne on your PC, any temporary glitches or memory leaks that may be affecting performance should be gone. If restarting the game does not help, restart your PC as well, and make sure to clear the game from the Task manager before relaunching it.
Check Your Internet Connection
Since Dungeonborne involves online multiplayer elements, you will need a stable internet connection at all times. Stuttering could sometimes be caused by network lag or high latency. So, make sure that your internet connection is stable and consider using a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi to reduce potential disruptions. You can also try switching to a different network altogether.
Disable Antivirus Software
Antivirus programs do more harm than good and can sometimes interfere with the games by scanning files or blocking certain processes, leading to stuttering or lag. Temporarily disabling your antivirus software while playing Dungeonborne might help with these issues. Just make sure to re-enable it afterward to keep your system protected.
Verify Game Files
Corrupted or missing game files may be the culprit; who knows? To verify the files, right-click on Dungeonborne in your Steam library, go to Properties, then Installed Files, and select “Verify Integrity of Game Files”. Wait for the process to scan and repair the game files and then launch the game.
Keep Checking for Game Updates
Since Dungeonborne is in Early Access, you can expect frequent updates as the developers address issues and refine the game. So, keep checking for updates regularly for the latest fixes and optimizations. If an update is pending, make sure to install it.
That is all the information we have on the stuttering issues in Dungeonborne. We hope you were able to jump back into the game with smooth gameplay!
