DId you guys know about these settings? Has anyone tried VULKAN?

[RandalMcdaniel]

The launcher has all sorts of checkboxes like "disable EAC"
"Exclusive fullscreen mode"
DX11, CORE(no idea what that means), or VULKAN

im definately noticing a smoother game overall and way less jankyness with true fullscreen mode enabled

and i disabled EAC because i dont play online (cant imagine EAC boosting my framerate or anything so i just disabled it)

Yep, and there's a 'tools' tab with a 'clean' option that you'll want to use (after backing up your saves and maps) to clear old data if / when there's a new update.

DX11 = Direct X 11. You can choose to use MicroSoft's DX11 or VULKAN for graphics processing. Depending on your rig, VULKAN may give you better performance (or end up causing issues) whereas DX11 is more 'universal' and generally just 'works' across most systems.

EAC = Easy Anti-Cheat... is only necessary if playing MP and the server requires it. But, it's an extra process happening while playing that can cause a slight performance hit. So, if you don't need it then it's better to have it disabled.....right along with 'Analytics.'

what ever happened to dx12? i guess dx12 was a fail ha. No games even bother adding that anymore

About CORE (in fact GLcore) maybe this can help a bit :

I wouldn't know as I use DX11 myself.
