It’s Nvidia App now.
It just sets maximum settings in 4K and DLSS Balanced for my system with 4060ti

Yea, lol, I just refer to it as Experience lol ;)
I’m sure it has a slider still, I’d custom to slide it back a bit so that certain settings turn off in the preview.
That’s what I do when I set mine, just watching for the main laggy settings to switch.
After doing Wt file verification, DDU safe mode uninstall and reinstall of drivers, turning off nvidia and discord overlays… the fix for me was going into my war thunder directory, and just deleting the Cache folder. It rebuilt it and fps went back to normal and no complete 20 seconds freezes.
I think, for some, the ray tracing changes in an update corrupted the cache and it needs to be rebuilt.
Worked for me, ymmv
I reduced my heavy stuttering this way.
- Install Process Lasso
- Open up Process Lasso.
- Run War Thunder while keeping Process Lasso on your other screen.
- In Process Lasso Active Processes, set aces.exe to high priority
- Monitor the Actions Log. See where ProBalance begins when it starts to stutter. Most probably you have a msedgewebview2.exe running that suddenly is taking fully your system CPU usage. Set the priority to below normal.
- Monitor other applications and adjust accordingly.
You will have a more playable experience now.
There is some small micro stutters I find however, I am playing at 4k with high resolution quality. I reduced the quality to low for the rendering and it has nominal stuttering at 150fps on a GTX 1660ti but I do see the stutter drop me down to 30-60fps.
There are plenty of settings in Process Lasso you can adjust to see if it will improve your gaming… Just make sure your AMD or NVidia apps are set to above normal or high priority as well so they are running fast too.
Still tweaking here so it is getting better for me.
Let us know if this is helpful for you…
further testing with GTX 1660ti results.
NVidia Driver Settings
- Low Latency Mode = Ultra
- Image Scaling = 67% (2560x1440), Sharpen 100%
- Max Frame Rate = 75 FPS (Does not seem to work with War Thunder).
- Power Mangement Mode = NVidia Driver-controlled
- Vertical Sync Off
In Game Settings:
- Advanced Short = No
- Anisotropy = 16x
- AA Method = FXAA HQ
- Cloud Quality in flight = Medium
- Cloud Quality on ground = 1536
- Display Mode = Full screen
- Effects Resolution = LOW
- Far Terrain Details = Yes
- Global Illumination Quality = Low
- Graphics API = D3d 11
- grass range = 0.1
- NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency = Boost
- Particle Density = 0.290
- Physics Quality = 20
- Reflection Quality = Low
- Render Resolution = 70%
- Resolution = 3840 x 2160
- Shadow Quality = low
- Terrain Deformation = high
- Terrain displacement quality = medium
- Track Marks = Medium
- Tree Range = 0.850
- Upscaling mode = Native
- Water effects and quality = Low
with these settings. It has been playable with minimal stuttering. If you do Image scaling down to 50%, it improves further.
Guess i gotta update my drivers, thanks!
The solution works. And you , my friend, are real hero.
You’re a life saver; the issue has been resolved based on this recommendation.
I was experiencing huge stutters 10 seconds or so, in game and in the hangar. In the hangar I would at least get a notification that 'Graphics Driver Hung Texture Settings Lowered" and it was a huge issue with the game as the lowered settings would create artifacts and incorrectly rendered textures and objects.
The game is running smoother than ever, I’d nearly go as far as saying it’s resulted in a 30-40 frame per second increase in performance.
Additionally it’s solved stutters that I thought were related to latency as it appeared as if there was a slight input lag at times.
Thank you very much
Every match since the update was released starts with extreme freezing events that last anywhere from 2-10 seconds and then nothing else during the match. It’s always in the very beginning of match and just about every single match
For anyone still having this issue switching from dlss to v sync seems to fixed it for me.
This should be pinned to the top!!!
I suddenly started getting “nvlddmkm event id 153 errors” no matter the drivers used, no matter the settings, the graphics driver would reset itself (which was taking around 10 seconds) every 2,5,8 minutes into the gameplay randomly. Seems removing the cache saved me. Maybe cache is not that easily corruptible, as I was playing for like over 3 years without any problems… But Gajin should look into the issue for sure!
I just removed all of the contents of cache, for me WarThunder sits in the program files, and played 4 long rounds without any problems.
THANKS!!!
Underclocking my GPU has solved this issue for me.
I have had this issue for as long as I’ve played this game, on both Windows 10/11 and Linux (Arch/Pop!_OS). Before finding the solution that worked for me, I tried almost everything in this thread without success, so if you’re still facing this issue, give this a try.
Underclock your GPU by ~50-150MHz. I have an Nvidia 2070S, and have had success using MSI Afterburner (Windows) and nvidia-settings (Linux) to underclock it by 75MHz. It doesn’t hinder performance, still getting 144+ FPS, so I’ve stuck with this solution. I’m not sure if this is a problem with my GPU, or a war thunder problem, but I’m glad I’m no longer constantly crashing/freezing.
Same for me as of writing on 25/04/2025 and have tried all the suggestions and potential fixes mentioned above this point in the thread so far. This happened only after upgrading my PC recently.

Windows 10 Pro 64bit

Hi.
Mind trying and disabling Nvidia overlay?
It was the one thing that saved my game performance so I suppose it might be worth trying.
I’ve got to add my take if I may. IDK what the deal is. Things were running fine, I switched to DX12, and constant stutters or outright freezes and message where it says driver has hung, restarting or random artifacting and unplayable. Been happening for a good while. Switch back to DX11 and things are fine. This has been a thing for so long, so many people have reported it, so many “Try this…” has been applied, and fiddled with. Let’s face it.
IT IS THE GAME!!!
Gaijin has not presented a fix bc it’s not a priority for them. They’re still making money. People using the hell out of the golden eagle system or bundles for premium tanks that it’s not something bringing down the bottom line. And I get it. Don’t get me wrong, they’ve got a great product. But nothing is a priority if it doesn’t affect their bottom line. You can simply switch back to DX11 and it’s fine and fixed. It’s not going to be fixed until there’s nothing better to do. How long has DX12 been out and standard now? Look at the setting in your options. BETA. BEEETTTAAAA. Really? DX12 Beta? It’s not us. It’s them.
I have tried the workarounds or fixes.
Before you say update…
Latest gpu drivers AND DDU ran.
Just updated bios and all others.
Recently reformatted with clean install I usually do annually.
Verified install files.
Etc… Etc… Etc…

Well, it has nothing to do with Windows. I have the same problem in Linux.
Debian 13 (Trixie) = the latest “unstable” branch, so it is as bleeding edge as Debian gets. Native Linux client, running X-windows and I think Vulcan instead of DirectX. I have no idea if anticheat is running, it doesn’t show in the Launcher as it does in Windows.
It began a few weeks ago, and typically occurs once in every battle - the screen freezes for a few seconds ONCE, then a pause for a few seconds, then a second very brief freeze. Then all is as it used to be.
The first freeze happens randomly from “while waiting in the queue” to some 20 seconds into the game. It sometimes does not happen, but almost always.
I tried it with two different vidcards in the same PC - RTX 4070 Super, and GTX 1060. The only difference is that the pause is shorter with the RTX.
Ryzen 9700X, G650 chipset, 32GB DDR5.
Having the same problem, its not any operating system, its the game, presumably the anti cheat.
Primarily happens whenever a tank is rendered in Sniper Mode, the moment the tank is within your sight picture the game freezes without fail every time, I do get random stutters in the vicinity of enemies as well while not aiming.
Ive tried everything short of a whole new windows ISO to get this fixed and nothings worked.
I have just noticed something though, when I press my G502 mouse’s “DPI Shift” button to reduce my DPI while im holding it for more accurate shots, my game freezes when I use any of the Logitech software buttons. This would be the only game this happens, ill look into it more, but if anyone else has a logitech mouse or keyboard try disabling the software.
