PERFORMANCE

If you have a NVidia graphics card, make sure to set "High Performance NVIDIA processor" for this game in the NVidia config panel, otherwise you could experience slowdowns or variable framerate issues.

Some HD Integrated Graphics chipsets may be not enough to run the game properly.

The game does use intense GPU power because of bloom fx and other strong shaders.

If your graphics hardware doesn’t work with the optimal settings, you may experience some slowdowns. In this case, go to the Options section of the game and try to set the Bloom FX to "Mild" or "None", and see if things gets improve.

You can also turn on Antialiasing to improve performance. If you run the game on a fast machine or you use a 144hz screen, the game could exceed the 60fps. In this case you can turn on the 60 FPS Locker to keep the game playable (you may need to configure vsync or gsync in the graphics card configuration panel).

RESOLUTION

The game is tied to 720p resolution. We are currently working on 1080p version.
If you have a 1080p screen resolution, please consider to set it to 1280x720 so you can run the game in fullscreen avoiding the cropped view.

OPTIONS

FULLSCREEN - sets fullscreen on/off

ANTIALIASING - sets antialiasing on/off

BLOOM FX -this is for those who plays on older computers and are experiencing framerate issues. Setting to "Mild" or "None" will improve game speed but reduce background effects.d

60FPS LOCKER - sets the fixed limit of 60fps. Use this if your pc runs the game too fast or you're playing on a 144hz screen.
