Why Sons of the forest is stuttering

Of course they also influence performance, but many players agree that in the case of Sons of the Forest the difference in graphics settings do not present a drastic change in FPS.

- Update your drivers – it is always a good idea.
- Install the game on SSD – if you can, it is something obligatory.
- Limit V-sync – you need to reduce your CPU load.
- Don’t be a host – if you want to play a multiplayer game, ask someone else to host it.
