Many players are seeing a “loading” spinner or brief pauses every three to five seconds in Duet Night Abyss, especially in menus, dialogue, and cutscenes. In some cases, the stutter eases during active traversal, which points to a mix of account/session issues and uneven frame pacing. Below are the most effective workarounds reported across PC and mobile, plus a few graphics settings that reduce the hiccups without gutting visual quality.

Quick diagnosis: match your symptom to a practical fix

Symptom Where it shows up What usually helps Trade‑offs
Loading circle every 3–5 seconds Menus, dialogue, cutscenes; sometimes idle in-world Sign out, avoid social auto-login; use an email/password account instead Creating a new login can start a fresh account
Stutter and brief freezes when panning camera Exploration, especially at higher frame caps Cap FPS to 60; toggle V‑Sync; avoid 120 FPS caps for now Lower peak smoothness vs. fewer hitches
High GPU usage, fans blasting Any 3D scene Cap FPS in driver/game; lower Shadows, VFX, Crowd Density, Textures; try DLSS/FSR toggle Small visual hit, big thermals relief
Endless loading/black screen on mobile Boot, post-login, or resource download Clear cache/data; reinstall; ensure stable connection Re-download assets

PC: Fix the “loading every few seconds” loop (account workflow)

This particular loop often ties back to how you sign in. Social auto-login (like a Google one-tap) can leave the client in a state that repeatedly revalidates the session.

  • At the main menu, choose the account switch option and sign out.
  • Choose the option to recover or set a password via email.
  • Create a password for your email and log in with email + password instead of a social button.
Note: setting up a new login may place you on a fresh account. If you have purchases or progress tied to a different login, do not proceed with a new email/password workflow on that platform.

If you already use email/password and still see the loop, re-authenticate once more and proceed to the launcher repair below.

PC: Repair the client, then cap frame rate and adjust pacing

Repairing the install clears partial patches that can cause repeated loading or asset stalls.

  • Open the PC launcher. Next to the Start button, open the menu (three lines) and select the option to repair game files.
  • After repair, launch the game and set a frame cap of 60 FPS. If your driver allows, also force a global 60 FPS cap to keep the GPU from spiking at menus.
  • Toggle V‑Sync once. If tearing appears, leave it on. If input latency or micro‑stutter worsens, leave it off.

Several players report heavier stutter at 120 FPS caps right now. Running at 60 FPS smooths frame pacing and reduces “heartbeat” hitches during camera pans.

PC: Right‑size demanding settings and try DLSS/FSR toggle

To bring down spikes that can trigger the loading spinner, target settings that drive CPU and memory traffic in busy scenes:

  • Lower these first: Shadow Quality, Visual Effects Quality, Crowd Density, Texture Quality.
  • DLSS/FSR: the game currently exposes a simple on/off. Try the opposite of your current choice; the toggle can change stutter patterns even if average FPS stays similar.
Tip: if your GPU is consistently at 100% and temperatures climb, a strict 60 FPS cap plus a small reduction in Shadows typically delivers the biggest thermal drop for the least visual loss.

PC: Network and permissions checks

If the client is stuck refreshing login state, trimming network variables and permissions can help.

  • Run the game as Administrator on Windows.
  • Temporarily disable VPNs or packet-shaping tools and relaunch.

Flush DNS, then restart:

ipconfig /flushdns

If you installed via a third‑party store and the launcher fails to repair, uninstall and install the official PC client from the publisher’s site once, then sign in normally: duetnightabyss.dna-panstudio.com.

Android and iOS: clear cache/data, then reinstall if needed

On mobile, the loading spinner typically points to a corrupted cache or an interrupted resource download.

  • Android: in Settings → Apps → Duet Night Abyss, clear cache and clear data. Relaunch on a stable Wi‑Fi connection and let all resource downloads finish before playing.
  • iOS: force‑quit background apps, reboot the device, then reinstall Duet Night Abyss if it still hangs at the logo or spins indefinitely.

Keep at least a few gigabytes free before the first launch after reinstalling; low storage increases the chance of cache issues during the initial asset unpack.

When the stutter eases after early content

A few players notice the stop‑and‑go loading lessens after completing the first tutorial instance. If you can push through the opening minutes without changing settings, it may settle down for regular exploration. If not, return to a 60 FPS cap and the account/login change described above.

If nothing helps right now

This is a launch‑window issue hitting a lot of players, and fixes are rolling out. If you’ve tried an email/password login, repaired the client, capped FPS to 60, and still see the spinner, avoid heavy grind or spending until a patch lands. Keep an eye on the in‑game mailbox as the team has been addressing black screen, flicker, and freeze bugs and is actively resolving reports.

The practical order that resolves most cases: change login method → repair/verify → cap to 60 FPS and toggle V‑Sync → reduce Shadows/VFX/Crowds → clear cache or reinstall on mobile. If you need to reinstall on PC and don’t have a working launcher, use the official download link once and then re‑test the steps above.
