Even if you’ve already set up the best graphics settings for Warzone 2, you could still be experiencing issues with the game. You’re also going to want to consider if you have the best GPU for Warzone 2. In light of that – let’s go over everything you can try to fix Warzone 2’s latest FPS issues.

How to fix Warzone 2 Season 4 low FPS and stuttering

Here’s what we’d recommend to fix Warzone 2 Season 4’s low FPS and stuttering:

• Use Nvidia DLSS or AMD FSR
• Rollback Nvidia drivers
• Enable weapon motion blur

Enable resolution upscaling

While there are no official fixes yet for the issue aside from updates that have been rolled out, the first and foremost thing you should try to improve FPS in Warzone 2 is enabling DLSS or FSR, depending on whether or not you have an Nvidia or AMD graphics card.

These processes enhance your frame rate by using AI to upscale your resolution. Effectively, you can game at 1440p, while running an FPS you’d receive from 1080p gaming.

Rollback graphics drivers

While the usual advice is to update your graphics drivers to the latest version, sometimes recent updates can have a negative impact on game performance. Rolling back your graphics drivers could help with FPS issues, though you’re not really going to know until you try it.

Enable weapon motion blur

Enabling weapon motion blur isn’t going to necessarily help you with increasing overall FPS, but it can certainly help you with alleviating some of the visual issues it brings. Loading into a game of Warzone in a highly populated and concentrated area sometimes leaves you with FPS spikes, especially when your weapon is being used. Enabled motion blur can help conceal some of the ‘slideshow’ effects that might impinge on your experience.
