Here, this should help everyone's overall performance of Star Citizen, specially on lower end rigs.

There were a few things i accidently missed out of this video but I believe most of the really important stuff is covered. Though the only other thing id recommend doing after you make all these changes is going into your "APP Data" folder and deleting the contents of the "Temp" folder and then doing a disk clean up.

Temp folder can be located at: C:\Users\(Your Name)\AppData\Local\Temp.

Once deleted the contents, go to windows search bar and type in "Clean" and run a Disk-Clean Up.




All this combined with the video guide should help overall average frame rate and clean up stuttering, freeze frames, and in some cases and actually helped people with the 100% cpu usage bug.

Hope it helps.

1:10 One *HUGELY* important thing to mention about virtual memory is that, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THAT MUCH SPACE ON THE DRIVE! Actually, let's put few more exclamations there: !!!
If you don't have enough space, and SC actually would need that space, it'll crash to desktop. Had this happen to a friend of mine frequently, he'd play for like 5 minutes or so and then crash. Bit longer in space. Also, as for the size, it depends on your graphics settings as well as how much ram you got (even if it doesn't seem to get full).

As for the rest, you might wanna explain the rationale behind each setting. Especially when you're instructing people to mess with registry, everyone who messes with registry should know what they're doing and why.

Just a reminder that this video doesnt just apply to Star Citizen. Works in pretty much all games and can drastically reduce stuttering in titles like EscapeFromTarkov an many others where you're having issues.

Had a few people message me so, for anyone on windows 11 trying to find the "Hardware-Accelerated GPU scheduling" setting, it is a little harder to find. You should be able to find it by going to:

System > Display > Graphics > Change Default Graphics Settings > then Hardware-Accelerated GPU scheduling will be a toggle option in there.
