(2025 UPDATE) Ready or Not Ultimate guide to optimization

In this guide we will cover the latest known methods to boost your FPS and optimize Ready or Not.

Simple Graphics Settings

Click on Select Graphic Preset and set it to Custom, this will allow us to set the settings for the Advanced Graphics settings.

Set Screen Mode to Fullscreen. In fullscreen mode, other applications will be paused, giving a massive performance boost.
You can set your Resolution and Resolution Scale lower, but this will make everything blurry, which could be annoying.

Advanced Graphics Settings

Head over to Options -> Graphics -> Advanced Graphics Settings and set the following options:

Advanced Graphics Options

Setting	Value
Texture Quality	Medium
Shadow Quality	Low/Medium
Post Processing Quality	Low
Anti-Aliasing Quality	Low/Medium
VFX Quality	Low/Medium
View Distance	High / Medium
Frame Limit	Disabled
Motion Blur	Disabled
VSync	Disabled
Bounce Light	Disabled
Per-Object Shadows	Disabled

Advanced Decal Options

Setting	Value
World Decals Enabled	Enabled
World Decal Fade Distance	50%

Advanced Optiwand Options

Setting	Value
Optiwand FPS Limit	(Disabled)
Optiwand Resolution Scale	100%

Nvidia DLSS / AMD FidelityFX

This setting will render frames at a lower resolution, giving a nice framerate boost. Optimally you can set this to either Quality or Performance, but in my opinion setting it to Ultra Performance makes the screen too blurry.

NVIDIA Reflex

Set NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency to Enabled or Enabled + Boost.

(OPTIONAL): Limit FPS

If you want to, you can limit your maximum FPS. Previously we disabled the in-game FPS limiter, because it's inefficient.
Go to your AMD or NVIDIA Control Panel. Because I only have NVIDIA Control Panel, we'll be using that as example in this guide.

NVIDIA Control Panel settings

1. Navigate to 3D Settings -> Manage 3D Settings
   
2. Click on the Program Settings tab.
   
3. Select Ready or Not, or add it to the list if you haven't already.
   
4. Find the Max Frame Rate option and set it to your desired setting.

PRO TIP: I would set the Max Frame Rate option to a little under your monitor's refresh rate, because the human eye can't see the difference above that.

Disable Control Flow Guard

Windows has a security feature called Control Flow Guard, and it's enabled by default in all applications. The problem with this is that it causes hitching in DirectX 12 applications (Ready or Not has a DX12 option). We can disable this quite easily.

1. Open the Start Menu, type in Exploit protection.
   
2. In the Exploit protection menu, navigate to the Program settings tab.
   
3. Click on Add program to customize -> Choose exact file path.
   
4. Find your game path and navigate to ReadyOrNot\Binaries\Win64.
   
5. Select ReadyOrNot-Win64-Shipping.exe and click Open.
   
6. Scroll down and find the Control flow guard (CFG) option.
   
7. Check Override system settings and turn it off.
   
8. Click Apply and you're done.

NOTE: if Ready or Not is running, you should restart the game now for it to take effect.

DX11 is basically required for the minimum requirements to run at 60

Messed with settings for over an hour but game was meh looking 60-80 fps and jittery/drops. Turned the FidelityFX super res 3 option on and it doubled my fps and got rid of jitters, game is literally butter smooth.... gotta love PC gaming

That's not how Low latency + boost works lol

[Zach Fett]

"Set NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency to Enabled + Boost, the other options are just for benchmarking purposes."
Not true at all, and enabling Boost is usually detrimental to framerate stability because all it does is set your GPU to stay at 100% usage.

Forget fps, what are the best settings for visibility

[sh0tx]

[STUBAFPSV]

Needs a reassessment brother, there was an update. More Settings not listed in this guide are now available.
