Rise of the Ronin was finally released on PC after a year of exclusivity on PlayStation. Players have generally good opinions about gameplay. However, RotR received mixed reviews on Steam. So, what is wrong with it? The answer is performance. It seems that many people have experience stuttering even on good computers. What is the source of the issue?

Players report poor performance in Rise of the Ronin PC version

Rise of the Ronin was warmly received by players. It can be difficult sometimes, so we have prepared a guide, but gameplay itself is a solid one. However, it seems that the performance on PC is not the best. The common story is that the game works well until entering the open world. After that FPS can drop quite often. The issue seems to be appear quite often for many players. To be honest, all of the negative reviews we read on Steam had been written because of technical problems.

According to numerous players, the game struggles to keep stable framerate above 60 FPS. Moreover, all frame drops are quite visible, which makes the experience even worse. Many people believe that the looks of the game do not justify the strain on the hardware.

It seems that for now, the best solution to the issue is to cap the game at 60 FPS. Of course, not all players experience the problems. Some of them defend the game and its performance, arguing that people who have issues probably have hardware bottlenecks.

Discussions about PC and performance are always difficult ones. Contrary to consoles, PC players have many different configurations. Even players with the same CPU and GPU can have distinct gaming experience due to other fragments of the puzzle called a computer. In this case details matter, such a small thing as the drivers’ version is important.
