VR support
Issues fixed
Crash on saving/loading or exiting buildings
In particular areas, the game may crash when exiting buildings or when trying to save or load.
Patching the game executable to allow access to 4 GB RAM seems to resolve this.
Low frame rate
Enable timeslice shadow updates in game settings[citation needed]
|
Micro-stuttering on multi-core systems
- In-built multi-core support is broken in that it induces severe stuttering in-game and also on the main menu.
Disable the multi-core option in game settings[citation needed]
|
Micro-stuttering on Windows Vista/7
- May cause alt-tabbing issues
Disable desktop composition on launch[citation needed]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>\bin\
- Right-click on
Divinity2.exe and choose Properties.
- Go to the Compatibility tab and enable Disable desktop composition.

|
- Go to the graphics options menu and show the advanced settings
- Enable the FPS cap and set it to 55 FPS or ([refresh rate] - 5) FPS
|
Lower mouse polling rate
|
- The game engine drops mouse input if it is too frequent
- In the mouse control panel, lower the polling rate to 125 Hz
|
Use an external framerate limiter to run the game at 30 fps[4]
