And for those of you who are desperate for a fix and don't mind playing without sound Either disable all NVIDIA HD Audio drivers via Device Manager, or add the -nosound command line at the end of the WD.exe target.
Please forward this to the appropriate department, as it is clearly a very crippling issue. So this is something definitely specific to the game. Because disabling the NVIDIA drivers did not help me.
However, the issue also seems to be with the game audio itself. Typically with stutters and freeze spikes that last up to 2-8 seconds or so.ĭisabling these helps most people tremendously, according to that thread. īasically, for NVIDIA users, there is a massively widespread problem causing the NVIDIA HD sound drivers to decrease the performance of the game drastically. Found out about this thanks to this thread on the Steam Discussion boards.
