Didnt have any stuttering, then again, that was the high seas version…
Why lying bro.
Telling you the truth
Sure, maybe I’d believe you if I didn’t play pirated version myself and you are filty liar bro as it stutters just like original I bought later (actually original now stutters noticably less as it got patched and pirated version didn’t and is still release version of it only). You probably haven’t even played it at all. It doesn’t have denuvo only some basic STEAM drm so no noticable impact on performance. I’ll ask again why you spread lies? Are 2 upvotes from some lowlifes worth it?
Your childish insults aside, I’ll remind you that pc as platform encompasses a million different combos of hardware, software, drivers and operating systems. Given that fact, you actually think it’s impossible for a game to run differently on different computers? Did you start gaming on pc yesterday or something?
I’m telling you I finished the game twice with 0 stutter; if you want to believe I’m lying cause it makes you feel better, go right ahead.
Who cares? B*tch is still ugly as hell, why this game BOMBED badly! That fakking “radioface” should really stick to voice over work as its common for very ugly women. UGLIEST woman ever in a video game.

Nope, not even the leak, cover girls UGLY hateful face tells all. Another crazed feminist game, perhaps they will bury it at the same place where they buried all Forspoken physical copies ?! Youtube this:
