Windowed, Windowed Fullscreen, Fullscreen – these are the three different Display Mode settings. Try experimenting with turning it off and on while keeping an eye on your FPS counter (press F7 to see FPS and Ping while playing) Choose either Windowed Mode or Full Screen Anti-Aliasing makes the game look smoother and removes jagged edges, but at a performance cost. Turning it off will give a performance boost, but on most machines it is very very minor. Try turning HDR on/off to see the change. If you run on very high-resolution monitors (2560×1440 and above) this is a very effective way to get a higher framerate. But it makes the GUI and everything look blocky and ugly – I hear you say! And yes, this is why we have introduced “render resolution”, that way you can keep the gui and other 2D things in the full resolution your monitor can produce and then just lower the render resolution to make the game run faster. Lowering your resolution is a very effective way to get more performance from the game as fewer pixels must be drawn on the screen. BETA drivers on the other end can cause the opposite effect. New drivers offer better support with our game.

Updating your graphic card drivers can make a significant difference in performance. While playing you can press F7 to see your current FPS and Ping in the top right corner of the game screen.

With the new render engine released, it’s the perfect time to also have a look what you can do to potentially improve the game performance.
