We recommend at least 16 GB of system RAM to prevent stutters and ensure smooth multitasking while playing.
Optimal Graphics Settings
For 1080p High settings at 60 FPS, a mid-range GPU like the RTX 3060 or RX 6600 is optimal. If you are on entry-level specs, we recommend setting shadows, volumetric lighting, and reflection quality to Medium or Low to save up to 25% of GPU cycles. Enable DLSS or FSR if available.
Performance Optimization Tips & Troubleshooting
How to boost FPS:
Install the game on an SSD to completely prevent micro-stutters during asset loading. Turn off VSync in-game if you experience input latency, and use hardware scaling (DLSS/FSR) in Quality mode for the best FPS-to-visuals ratio.
Common Issues & Workarounds:
Many players report shader-compilation stutters during the first 10 minutes of gameplay. Simply wait in the main menu for shader compilation to finish. If experiencing crashes, update graphics card drivers and verify game file integrity.
