Fix Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II FPS Drops & Stuttering
**Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II** is experiencing FPS drops, stuttering, or poor performance. This is a *confirmed issue* with known solutions.
Performance issues typically relate to GPU/CPU bottlenecks, memory leaks, shader compilation stutters, or background processes consuming resources.
**What's causing it:**
• session sync delay (68% likely)
• server overload (52% likely)
Follow these steps to fix it:
1. increase timeout window.
2. retry handshake logic.
3. Check if shader pre-compilation is available in settings — enabling it trades longer load times for smoother gameplay.
4. Disable Windows Game Bar and Game Mode (Settings → Gaming) as they can introduce micro-stutters.
5. Cap your framerate to your monitor's refresh rate using the in-game limiter or NVIDIA Control Panel / AMD Adrenalin.
💡 *Quick tip:* Try adding `-dx11` or `-dx12` to launch options to switch rendering API.
