Tips for getting for best performance

General recommendations

• Avoid using Alt-Tab when playing. Relaunch the game if you see performance dropping after using Alt-Tab.
• Avoid having background applications running in addition to the game.

Video Settings

• If you have performance issues, try lowering the resolution.
• Use 1440p resolution only if you have a very high-end GPU ( GTX 1070/1080 or equivalent)
• Keep the V-Sync activated, especially if you have large framerate fluctuations.
• If you have framerate under 30 fps, adjust the “Adaptive Resolution” between minimum (50%) and default value (75%).

Advanced Settings

• Use the “Auto” presets: this should adjust your visual settings without impacting your framerate.
• If you still have performance issues with “Auto” presets:
• Try deactivating the “TXAA Anti-Aliasing”
• Try lowering the texture details
