So I bought SO6 when it released a few years back and played it for about 10-15 hours just fine, no lag or stuttering. But I've booted it back up and made a new game and it's just constant lag/stuttering. I've tried the following common fixes

• compiling shaders on the main menu (does nothing, tried doing it multiple times before loading in)
• running game as admin
• changing graphic settings
• updating/downgrading drivers
• verifying Steam files

etc. It's not my specs because again, I played it just fine a few years back, and I have no issue playing much more intense games like Crimson Desert with no lag. I recently replayed SO4 as well, and that had stuttering issues, but was fixed by changing my monitor's refresh rate to 60hz while playing, which doesn't make a difference here.

So yeah, any recommendations?
