Space Marine 2 may be one of the biggest games of this year, but it still has its fair share of issues. One of the most common complaints from players is stuttering, which can ruin the entire gameplay experience, making smooth combat feel choppy and frustrating. While the game itself is solid, these performance hiccups can be a headache, especially on systems with weaker CPUs or slower hard drives.

However, a user on Nexus Mods has created an ‘anti-stutter’ mod for Space Marine 2, which has helped many players fix stuttering issues in the game.

What does the anti-stutter mod do?

The anti-stutter mod created by ChemBoy 1 on Nexus Mod provides a quick and simple fix by tweaking system settings, specifically through a registry edit that enables High CPU and Disk Priority for the game's executable. With just a few clicks, you can get rid of stuttering in the game, especially if you’re using a less powerful system. According to several players on the site, the mod worked flawlessly for them, and they are no longer facing performance and stuttering issues in Space Marine 2, or at least fewer of them.

Basically, by changing the priority of Space Marine 2 on your system, the mod assigns more CPU and disk resources to the game. This can prove to be useful for those who are trying to play the game on older or lower-end hardware. However, keep in mind that it won’t focus on boosting the FPS you’re getting, as its main priority is making the gameplay smoother.

The mod is also entirely safe for online play. It doesn't modify any game files, so you won't have to worry about breaking the rules or getting banned from PvP. Since it only adjusts your system’s registry, it won't affect game updates either. In other words, you won’t have to worry about installing it again after an update.

How to install the Space Marine 2 anti-stutter mod

ChemBoy1 has made sure to keep the installation process as simple as possible. Even if you're not a tech expert, you'll be able to set this up in a few minutes by following these simple steps:

1. Download the anti-stutter mod from the Nexus Mods page.
2. Find a file called “Install“.reg inside the downloaded folder.
3. Double-click the file to run it.
4. When asked, select “Yes“ to apply the changes to your registry.

ChemBoy1 also mentions that “A performance improvement is not guaranteed, and can sometimes be worse (though unlikely).” So, if you run into any issues after installing the mod, simply go back to the downloaded folder and run the “Uninstall”.reg file to remove the changes.
