The frame stutter issue that progresses throughout a session until it renders the game unplayable can apparently only be fixed by downgrading steam to a version from 2024?? crazy that that sort of thing can just happen and there’s no recourse. Although maybe if I play it on a powerful enough machine I can just brute force past it?
Some good news however is Fromsoftserve has been doing more work on the lighting mod that makes the game look amazing, especially the DLC because all the textures have an alpha channel
