Total War: Warhammer III’s launch seems to be plagued with optimization issues as players encounter frequent lag and stutter

Launch day did not go as planned for the recently released Total War: Warhammer III, as players were met with optimization issues, including frequent lag and stuttering.

Developed by Creative Assembly, Total War: Warhammer III is the third installment of the Total War subseries set in Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy fictional universe.

In many ways, the Total War series shaped the modern-era strategy genre and its subgenres. From the original Shogun: Total War to the recent Total War Saga: Troy, the titles are generally set in a historic time period. The only exception to this is the Warhammer sub-series.

Ever since its announcement about a year ago, the hype surrounding Total War: Warhammer III has been understandably high. While it has been reviewed highly by all major media outlets, including Sportskeeda, it seems the title has had some optimization issues resulting in a Mixed Steam review.

The third installment of the Total War: Warhammer Series takes players across a narrative-driven, turn-based strategy real-time tactics campaign. It features the races and factions from Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy fictional universe. The title is also the final installment of the trilogy and wraps up the storyline.

The hype surrounding Total War: Warhammer III is immense, and the game does live up to its expectations. However, the title received mixed reviews on Steam rather than a positive one like its predecessor. With over 2900 negative reviews, it seems like the main reason for the game's surprisingly mixed reception is its unoptimized state.

As a PC-only turn-based strategy and real-time tactics game, Total War: Warhammer III is available on Windows PC, Linux, and macOS. As such, the unoptimized state is widespread.
