The latest action role-playing game Dragon Age: The Veilguard is out now. Although this game offers enjoyable action combat with top-notch cinematics, some bugs and glitches are the inevitable part of the online game. A lot of reports are coming in where players are experiencing lagging, stuttering, and low fps issues while playing the game. If you are also experiencing similar issues and are unable to access the game, this guide has covered all potential methods to resolve the issue.
How to Fix Dragon Age: The Veilguard Lagging, Stuttering, and Low FPS
Lagging, stuttering, and low fps issues can occur for several reasons in online games including Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Thankfully, this issue can be fixed and here we will show what steps you should take to resolve it.
1. Update Graphics Drivers
The very first thing you should do is to make sure that your graphics drivers are updated to the latest version. If they are not updated, you might face several issues while playing the game including lagging, stuttering, and low fps issues. To update them, go to the official website of NVIDIA or AMD and install the latest version.
2. Lower In-Game Graphics Settings
The next step you should take is to lower in-game graphics settings. To do that: Go to the in-game settings and lower texture quality, shadows, anti-aliasing, etc. to medium or low. This will also help to improve FPS (Frames Per Seconds). Additionally, try setting high-performance mode which you can do in the Windows Control Panel under the Power option.
3. Disable Background Programs
If the issue is not yet resolved, try disabling background applications and programs. Sometimes, other programs running in the background can take up a lot of the system’s memory and processing power. You can close all of them by going to the Task Manager and closing them one by one. After closing all of them, relaunch the game and check if the issue is solved or not.
4. Repair Game Files
Some missing or corrupted game files can also cause this problem so try repairing game files by following these steps on Steam or Origin:
On Steam:
- Open up Steam Library
- Right-click on the game
- Go to Properties
- Click on Local Files
- And then click on “Verify integrity of game files”
- After the scanning, relaunch the game.
On Origin:
- Go to Origin’s game library
- Right-click on the game
- Click on Repair Game
- Now, it will automatically check and fix any corrupted game files
- Once done, relaunch the game.
5. Use Full-Screen Mode
Using fullscreen mode while playing online games including Dragon Age: The Veilguard can be an easy and effective method to resolve this issue. Compared to Windowed or Borderless Windowed modes, the full-screen mode can provide a smoother and more stable gaming experience so give it a try and check if this method worked to fix the game’s stuttering issue.
6. Increase Virtual Memory
Next, try increasing virtual memory for better gaming performance. Follow these steps to do this:
- Go to the Windows Search box on your PC
- Then type and click on ‘View Advanced System Settings”
- Now, go to Performance >> Settings >> Advanced and click on Change under Virtual Memory
- Uncheck “Automatically manage paging file size for all drives”
- Check Custom Size and enter the below values
- Initial Size (MB): 1.5 X Total RAM (For 16 GB RAM, 16 x 1024 MB = 16,384 MB, 16,384 MB x 1.5 = 24,576 MB)
- Maximum Size (MB): 3 X Total RAM (For 16 GB RAM, 16 x 1024 = 16, 384 MB, 16,384 MB x 3 = 49,152 MB)
