Performance Advice

Don't get caught with your pants down

With all settings below, YMMV depending on your specific hardware and system config. Take all recommendations with a grain of salt, and don't assume any full preset will work best for you.

Green settings = Objectively best and mandatory unless you don't care about your performance.

Some settings excluded from the lists below as needed to reduce clutter when specific settings are not applicable to the preset.

Refer to other presets for more context on some of these excluded settings, and utilize your own preferences as desired.

Footnotes:

1️⃣ — Assumption being made here is that truly potato PCs have a poor excuse for a GPU or may not have a dedicated GPU at all. In such cases, the iGPU may be more powerful, so hardware acceleration should not be used.

2️⃣ — You can consider lowering this slider setting to its minimum value during Gloom instead to increase FPS. It also helps with seeing your character among the crowd of players, making it easier to navigate runedisk wall mechanics.

Bonus recommendations:

- Purchase Elixir for extra in-game perks and to help support development.
- Never play on a WiFi connection when avoidable, always wired (ethernet).
- Gaming mouse with programmable buttons, provides much more keybind flexibility.
- 144hz monitor with system 3D settings set to allow maximum framerate, and set Google Chrome to use global setting (details applicable to NVIDIA GPUs).
