Did you use ddu to do the clean install or just clean install from the nvidia driver?
Also, did you try installing just the driver and not the nvidia app?
I didn’t use DDU, I reinstalled from the standalone driver and yeah, I installed just the driver, not the app. The app is still uninstalled.
Are you using a laptop? If so what power profile are you using? I recently was looking at some stuff for a mate and power profiles can cause stuttering according to Microsoft try changing your power profile to performance setting and not balanced it should fix your problem.
Nope, I’m on a desktop and the power plan is already set to high performance.

Give ddu a try. We’d seen some notes about the new nvidia app causing issues, but I’d out isn’t installed, that’s not it.
Alright I did a cleanout with DDU, reinstalled the standalone game ready driver, issue still occurs. Nvidia app remains uninstalled.
Are you running any overlay programs/services?
Nope. Discord overlay is disabled and I don’t have any other applications that have an overlay.
Going back to the drive letters, i remember that at some point in the past windows rejected a and b to be floppy drives and because those are removable, it would pool those drives periodically and slow the system down immensely.
Is there a simple way for you to try playing with no a and b named drives to see if that is part of the issue?
I could just move it to C drive… I’m not super confident that’s the problem. When I was playing the Classic relaunch in 2019/2020 I had the game on my B drive and I never had this issue. I’ll give it a try and see how it goes.
Should be able to just easily change the drive letter under disk management
Would that not affect registry entries referencing B drive? Regardless, the game is tiny lol, I just moved it to C. Will report back after I’ve tested it for a while
