NBA 2k26 Performance

[masoo123]

Since the last NBA 2K26 update (v1.4 on Sept 18, 2025), the game has started stuttering badly on my PC, even though I’m running an i7-14700KF, RTX 4070, and 64GB RAM. FPS looks stable, but offline modes like Play Now and MyNBA feel really choppy. Oddly, if I swap to an older modded exe, the game runs perfectly smooth. Online with the official exe also feels smoother, so it seems like the new patch broke offline frame pacing or presentation. I’ve tried everything — shader cache reset, reinstall, file verify, clean drivers — nothing fixes it. Looks like this started only with the latest update. Anyone else seeing this?
