Issues fixed
Game fails to start
Re-install Citrix Workspace.[3] |

Judder
- The in-game FPS limiter produces extremely fluctuating frame times.
Use Riva Tuner Statistics Server's built-in framerate limiter or the limiter of the GPU driver |
---|
Lag & Stutter
- Dusk doesn't use flip presentation and thus, even with fullscreen enabled, runs in a borderless window with the compositor still running.
Use the -window-mode exclusive command line argument
|
---|
Use the -force-d3d12 command line argument
|
---|
Enable the Windows setting: "Optimizations for windowed games"
|
