Issues fixed

Poor performance

Use -USEALLAVAILABLECORES command line argument[2]
Whilst widely shared,[3] this is potentially a placebo.
Use -NOTEXTURESTREAMING command line argument[2]
This command loads all texures into memory. As such, high VRAM (8 GB) and system memory (16 GB) is recommended.[2]

Fix/reduce stuttering

Lower the Texture Streaming Pool Size[4]
Turn down Dynamic Shadow Resolution[4]
Turn down Cascaded Shadow Map Resolution[4]

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/581320/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (581320) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
