Fixes for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 Crashing and Stuttering
Update GPU Software
As the first course of action to fix the crashing and stuttering problem, you should ensure that the GPU driver is updated to the latest version. Most errors of this nature occur when there is an outdated driver that does not sync well with a new game. Most games are developed to run on the latest drivers. Nvidia and AMD both have recently launched new drivers that have a hotfix for a variety of games. I recommend that you perform a clean install. This can be done by uninstalling the current drivers and installing the latest driver you download from the official website of the hardware manufacturer.
Verify Integrity of Game Files
If you are playing the game on Steam, check the integrity of game files. You can do this by going to Steam Client > From Library select One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 > right-click and select Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files.
Disable Integrated GPU
For users who are playing the game on Laptop, you have two sets of GPU, you need to disable the integrated GPU or the Intel GPU. Press Windows + X and select Device Manager > expand Display adapters > right-click on the integrated video card and select Disable device.
Enable Automatic Updates
As the game has just launched, we can expect a patch in the coming days that address most of the issues with the game. Ensure that you have the automatic update enabled in the game. If you have this feature on, the game will automatically update the latest patch when Bandai Namco releases it.
If you have tried the above fix and it has not resolved the error, it’s essential to know that certain things cannot be fixed from the client end, the reason why developers release patches to address those unresolvable issues.
