Wuthering Waves hasn’t had the best launches, with the game facing ping issues with lags, stutters, and audio cutting off mid-game. The game was running flawlessly at the start, but the performance plummeted after entering Jinzhou city. The main cause of the lag, stutters, and audio issues are server problems. Most of the server issues can only be fixed from the developer’s side, but we were still able to decrease the lag and stutters with a few workarounds. Here is how you can fix the Wuthering Waves lagging, stuttering, and audio issues.
Method 1: Disable NVIDIA DLSS, Reflex and V-Sync
First, check the Wuthering Waves system requirements to see if your device supports the game or not. If your device supports Wuthering Waves, then try disabling Nvidia DLSS, Reflex, and V-sync.
Disabling the Nvidia DLSS, Nvidia Reflex, and V-Sync decreased the lag in Wuthering Waves a lot for us and may work for you too. Here is how you can disable them.
- Open Settings in Wuthering Waves. Select the Graphics Settings option.
- Scroll down and turn off the NVIDIA DLSS option.
- Next, turn off the V-Sync option.

Method 2: Change Screen Mode to Full Screen
Make sure you are not playing in the Windowed mode in Wuthering Waves, which lagged a lot more for us than Fullscreen. Changing the screen mode to full screen decreased the lag and stutter issues in Wuthering Waves for us considerably. Here is how you can change the screen mode.
- Open the Wuthering Waves Graphics Settings again.
- Find the Screen Mode option and change it to Full Screen.

- Open Graphics Settings in Wuthering Waves.
- Set Shadow Quality to Medium.
- Change the Special Effects Quality to Low.
- Disable Volumetric Fog, Lighting, and Motion Blur.

- Intel integrated graphics users can simply update their Windows version to update the drivers.
