Diagnose FPS issues
- Restart the game and computer, then reproduce the issue in the same area.
- Confirm that the game uses the intended graphics adapter.
- Install a stable graphics driver and complete pending operating-system updates.
- Close recording, overlay, browser, and background applications one category at a time.
- Separate consistently low FPS from intermittent stutter or post-update shader activity.
Graphics settings
Begin with a preset appropriate for the hardware target, choose a realistic resolution, and change one expensive option at a time. Keep a record of each change so results can be compared in the same location.
Optimization tips
- Use a frame-rate cap the machine can sustain.
- Verify game files when crashes or missing assets appear after an update.
- Monitor CPU, GPU, memory, and temperature use to identify the active limit.
- Return to default settings when accumulated tweaks make performance less predictable.
Avoid unsupported tweaks
Do not stack registry edits, launch flags, and configuration changes copied from unrelated game versions.
