The REAL Reason Unreal Engine 5 Games are a Stuttering Mess
29Why do so many Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) games have terrible performance? From the massive hype of Black Myth Wukong to Lords of the Fallen and Remnant 2, the infamous 'UE5 stutter' is a massive problem for PC and PS5 gamers. In this deep-dive tech analysis, I break down the REAL reason for this performance crisis.
We'll explore the truth behind the "upscaling crutch," the massive CPU bottleneck caused by Nanite's data streaming, and why huge file sizes are a major red flag for game optimization. Is this the future we were promised by the amazing tech demos?
