Changing of in-game settings

Tweaking these particular options should go a long way in helping:

  • Reduced Latency Support: Disabled
  • V-Sync: Off
  • Contact Shadows: All Low
  • International Quality Observation: Bad
  • Spot Shadow Resolution: Low

Update Graphics Drivers

Out-of-date graphics drivers are likely to make a tremendous difference in in-game performance. Be sure to update your GPU drivers for the best effectiveness.

For Nvidia:

  • Download GeForce Experience at Nvidia.com.

Begin by opening GeForce Experience. Now go to the tab labeled 'Drivers'. Click on the 'Check for updates' button which is to the top right corner. If the update is available, install it.

For the AMD:

  • Right-click on the desktop.
  • Open AMD Radeon Settings.
  • Click on the home icon.
  • Click 'New Updates' in the bottom left.
  • Click on 'check for update.'

If an update is available, install it.

Using wired connection

It mostly happens due to ping spikes and a bad internet connection. Stutter or lags always happen because of bad internet connectivity. Using a wired LAN cable straight from the router to your PC would improve the speed of the internet and reduce in-game ping.

Close background apps 

Ensure no other applications or processes run behind during the gameplay of XDefiant. More importantly, parallel applications like OBS or GeForce Experience may make the FPS drastically low. 

By following it, you will experience a smooth XDefiant without any performance issues, and you can just worry about winning the game
