How should I increase my FPS
My computer configuration is as follows;
AMD R5 3600
Two DDR4 8GB 3200HZ
2TB M.2 SSD
1080 resolution monitor 165HZ
Graphics card is AMD RX6600XT
Whether I overclock or set the game effect level, the CPU and graphics card usage is within 65% when driving shooting, but I hope it can reach 85% or 100%
But when I open the map or open the settings screen in the game, the graphics card usage reaches 73%
This confuses me:steamfacepalm:

What fps are you getting now and what fps do you want?

My specs:
CPU: R5 3600 with no overclock
GPU: RX 5700 with no overclock
Memory: GSkill 3600 mhz 16GB (2X8GB)
Monitor: Dell 27" S2719DGF running at 2K 150Hz
OS: win 10

I'm getting anywhere from 48 fps - 100 fps depending on the continent and size of the fight.

This game uses the cpu more than the gpu. All I can suggest is that you set your textures to ultra as this forces your gpu to process them instead of your cpu.

Keep textures on ultra. This game is CPU intensive and downgrading your texture move calculations from GPU to CPU lowering your FPS. You graphic card is more than able to handle ultra textures.

Then disable shadows, disable flora, disable bullet decals. These alone should net you around 15-30 fps.

If you still struggle, lower render range.

Other than this, no much you can do config-side.

My Spec:
CPU: i5 11400
GPU: rtx 3080
RAM: 16 gb ddr4 3200 hz
SSD: Nvme m.2 1tb
Monitor: 1440p 144hz

My game runs fine. In intense fight i get 60+ fps and i run my game with shadows, without shadows i gain like ~20+ fps. The game is a bit funky as when you lower your graphic, it put more load on the CPU.

Here is my UserOptions ini graphic setting (a compromise between fps and graphics) :

Mode=WindowedFullscreen
FullscreenMode=WindowedFullscreen
FullscreenRefresh=0
FullscreenWidth=2560
FullscreenHeight=1440
WindowedWidth=2560
WindowedHeight=1400
Maximized=0
RenderQuality=1.000000

[Rendering]
OverallQuality=-1
GraphicsQuality=3

ShadowQuality=4
LightingQuality=2
EffectsQuality=1
TerrainQuality=3
FloraQuality=1
ColorBlindFilterType=0
ColorBlindFilterAmount=1.000000
ColorBlindFilterStrength=1.000000
ModelQuality=3
RenderDistance=2546.000000
Gamma=0.000000
VerticalFOV=90
ParticleLOD=0
FogShadowsEnable=1
MotionBlur=0
VSync=1
AO=1
MaximumFPS=250
UseLod0a=0
BloomEnabled=1
InfantryRenderDistance=4000.000000
GroundVehicleRenderDistance=4000.000000
AirVehicleRenderDistance=4000.000000
UseGlobalRenderDistance=1
Smoothing=0
UseAspectFOV=0

Note: If you want to get to maximise fps without affecting your infantry gameplay, set the Render distance to 300 in the file. I used a 300 meter render distance to maximise my fps in Outfit wars map, it was terrible optimised map.

Technically, 1000 meters is the range you need to set for infantry render, no one can shoot anywhere half as far as that, as 300 meters is the scale from 1 end of a territory to another.
Vehicles can be slightly further but it's not a big deal since there's so much obstructions they have to go within 500 meters to even see you and attack you.
Black_Fox Feb 21, 2022 @ 6:07am 
Lowering the FOV and/or resolution could help
THring Feb 21, 2022 @ 7:01pm 
Thank you for your answers, it turns out that this problem is not my problem, it just makes me think it is not my computer problem.

But I thought that the vehicle was the main player, too low distance and too low far resolution will cause my hit rate to decrease

I really mis...
aw bs same crap different year

yoo brother, you have full amd i see?
try to enable smart acces memory it wil increase abit also download ryzen master chipset you can auto oc without problems by just klicking on it and enabeling game mode than on the adrinaline page make sure you enable rage mode this wil give you all the extra juce for auto gains in preformance,

in game graphic performance problems are:
shadows, antialiasing, fog, and distance rendering

basicly the stuff you can vink on and of in the grahpic section

tweak these settings as you like

but i have to say it is a old game and dont worry, it is wat it is

i am gaming with a red revil 6900xt a 5950x with 64gigs of ram i got everything maxxed out and enabled i get a good 120fps but when the fights are 96+players in full fight my fps drop aswel and i start noticing stuttering and that is with a 4000 dollar computer vs a 10 year old game...... not here to brag about my system but it clearly is the old engine and they could do good with a upgrade in optimazation but i dont see that comming tbh. peace!!

I have now replaced the graphics card with a 1060 6G, and the 6600XT has been sold to others.

I know the feeling.. Performance just seems to get worse with every update...I go from 310FPS in Sanctuary.. But when I enter in to the big fights I'm all over the map from 110fps down to 17fps.. I've tried ever setting in the book, but nothing seems to get rid of this FPS roller coaster.

Try playing on Linux instead of Windows -- theres some tweaks that makes it stand out compared to playing on Winblows.
