If you are playing on older hardware or cards without native Raytracing support, you might experience severe lag or crashes. This guide helps you optimize the game for stable performance.

⚠️ CRITICAL HARDWARE INFO

This guide is specifically for users with the following hardware (or older):

• NVIDIA: All GTX series cards (e.g., GTX 1080, 1660, 970). Anything older than the RTX 20-Series.
• AMD: All cards older than the RX 6000-Series (e.g., RX 500, RX 5000 series). These cards do not have dedicated Raytracing cores.

🛠️ MANDATORY SETTINGS

To make the game playable on these cards, you must adjust the following settings in the graphics menu:

1. Disable Nanite

Nanite is a high-geometry rendering system that heavily taxes older GPUs.

• Action: Set Nanite to OFF.

2. Lower Level of Detail

• Action: Set Details to LOW or MEDIUM.

3. Disable V-Sync

V-Sync can cause significant input lag and stuttering on older cards.

• Action: Set VSync to OFF.

📉 IF YOUR FPS IS STILL LOW

Even with the settings above, older cards struggle. Usually, only high-end legacy cards like the GTX 1070 Ti or GTX 1080 can achieve decent frame rates without further tweaks.

If you are still experiencing lag, apply these emergency fixes:

1. Lower Resolution Scale: Reducing this to 80% or 75% will significantly boost performance by rendering the game at a lower internal resolution.
2. Drop Shadow Quality: Shadows are one of the most demanding features. Set Shadows to LOW.

📊 OPTIMIZATION SUMMARY

Note: These tweaks are essential for non-RTX hardware to ensure the game doesn't turn into a slideshow!
