Users have reported significant optimization issues, particularly in SteamVR mode, with frequent camera and frame stuttering. While some attribute these problems to the lack of official support for Windows Mixed Reality (WMR), others have struggled to resolve the stuttering through graphic settings adjustments. Overall, the optimization experience appears inconsistent and may require further updates to improve performance.
“The biggest issue I've had in SteamVR mode is camera stuttering, but it may be because I'm using WMR (and it isn't 'supported' yet in the VR support section of this game, although everything works fine besides that).”
