Before we move on to the solutions, we want you to ensure that you meet the minimum game requirements because if you don’t have enough system specifications, then your system won’t be able to handle the game, which results in a stutter, and FPS drops.
1. Disable the 2K Launcher
There are two ways to launch Marvel’s Midnight Sun, with a 2K launcher and without a 2K launcher. As we mentioned earlier, opening a game along with a 2K launcher often troubles users to encounter various different issues. Hence, to prevent the 2K launcher, you can either open the game using the MidnightSuns.exe file, which should be located under the game directory, or disable the 2K launcher by adding the command to the launch options. Launch options are used to open the game with the parameters described by the users. If you use Steam or Epic Games to launch the game, it will use the MidnightSuns-Win64-Shipping.exe file by default, which opens the game along with a 2K launcher. But if you add the location of the MidnightSuns-Win64-Shipping.exe to the launch options with the command, it will avoid the MidnightSuns-Win64-Shipping.exe and use the MidnightSuns.exe file, which won’t launch the 2K launcher. To disable the 2K Launcher:
1.1 Steam
1.2 Epic Games
2. Turn off Ray Tracing, and lower down graphics Settings
Ray tracing is used to render the scene realistically because it simulates the lightning of the scene and its object, which is why it requires more GPU power, which definitely dops FPS even with the high and powerful GPU. It can also stutter and freeze the game. Moreover, if you have high graphics settings, try low settings because it offloads the GPU, which helps run the game without stuttering, lagging, and freezing. To lower down graphics settings:
3. Verify the Integrity of Game Files
Usually, when a game starts bugging and experiencing stutters, it is mostly due to the corrupted game files that need to be replaced or restored. You can verify the game files with the help of the following steps according to your launcher.
3.1 Steam
3.2 Epic Games
4. Run the Game in Administrative Mode
Running with administrator privileges helps bypass security issues and also helps access the essential DLL and configuration files required by the game to run properly. Hence, if you haven’t tried running it as an administrator, do it by following the instructions. To run as administrator:
5. Run the Game with the High Graphics Preference
Graphics Preferences settings allow users to run programs with High Performance or Power Saving. By using high performance, you will be able to run the game with your dedicated GPU with the high performance, which consumes more GPU power. But if you use the Power Saving option, the program will use an integrated GPU, which will consume less power and provides low performance. If Marvel’s Midnight Suns is running with low performance, it can be a result of running the game with power-saving mode. You can change graphics preferences settings to High Performance to see if the issue is fixed or not. To change the graphics preferences settings:
6. Do a Clean installation Of GPU Drivers
Outdated graphics drivers cause games to stutter, lag, and freeze. They impact not only PC performance but also cause overall stability issues. If you don’t keep your drivers up to date, the problem can result from outdated drivers. To ensure that, either update or reinstall graphics drivers. We recommend clean installation of graphics drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller. It is an application used to remove system drivers along with registry files. To clean install GPU drivers:
7. Give High Priority to the Game in Task Manager
Running a program with high priority means you are telling a computer to give low priority to other processes and focus on running the high-priority task. If your game is lagging, stuttering, and freezing, changing the priority to high can help avoid these issues. To change the priority of Marvel’s Midnight Suns:
8. Check for Windows Updates
Typically outdated Windows has old features that can lower the game performance, which can cause the game to stutter and freeze. If you don’t update your Windows, we recommend you update it by following the instructions. To update the Windows:
9. Disable Steam Overlay and background applications
Running overlay and background applications consumes high memory usage, which can cause RAM to run out of memory, forcing the game to stutter and freeze. Hence after disabling the Steam overlay, make sure to close the unnecessary overlay and background applications. To disable the Steam overlay:
10. Reinstall Marvel’s Midnight Suns
If all the solutions have failed to fix your issue, the final method is to reinstall Marvel’s Midnight Suns. If you have installed the game on a hard disk, try to transfer it to SSD if you are facing lag in your game. Moreover, you can try upgrading your Graphics Card and RAM to at least minimum game requirements. To reinstall Marvel’s Midnight Suns:
10.1 Steam
10.2 Epic Games
