Deathloop PC stuttering a result of anti-piracy software, says Arkane

The studio is investigating the problem now.

Deathloop PC stuttering is an unforeseen result of the anti-piracy software being used within it, developer Arkane has recently confirmed.

The confirmation was made on Reddit inside a post complaining about Deathloop‘s “poor performance” on PC.

“Regarding performance we are aware of reports that some PC users are experiencing stuttering issues in DEATHLOOP,” wrote community manager MortalEmperor. “We’re actively investigating the issue right now as a priority, and will update you with more specific information as soon as possible.”

We didn’t encounter stuttering on PS5 as part of our review, but did not some rather dodgy NPC AI at times. Nevertheless, we fell in love with Deathloop, awarding it a 8.5/10.

Deathloop is currently available on Windows PC and PS5.
