2) Make sure your PC is not overheating

If you're facing stuttering or frequent crashes while playing Avowed, keep an eye on your PC's temperature. An overheating PC will definitely reduce performance. Firstly, make sure to give your PC a good clean. This will remove any accumulated dust that might have led to temperature spikes. For this, you can use a can of compressed air and a microfiber cloth.

If this does not solve the problem, figure out if your PC has good airflow or not. If not, you can install an additional fan. You can also try reapplying thermal paste on your CPU to get better temperatures which might result in stable FPS while playing Avowed.
