-
[]async_compute and allow_async_compute
Set to true if turning it on in-game helps YOU in particular gain more fps.[/
][]screen_resolution
Put your screen resolution in here but be aware that it might lower your fps drastically, i recommend to put something like 1280x720 for 1920x1080 screens for a good enough boost without making image quality too bad[/]

Still not enough performance?
Try object_lod_quality = -1 but its VERY unstable. Maybe you will enjoy restarting game each time game fails to render anything except cape as a trade for extra couple fps when it actually works.
If you have issues with config or must use DIRECTX 12 download 1. 0 version.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-trusted with 336 endorsements and over 18k downloads.
- Targets both GPU and CPU bottlenecks for a smoother experience.
- Includes a guide so you know what you're changing.
⚠️ Cons
- Registry edits can be risky if you don't know what you're doing—make sure to back up your system.
- DirectX level limiter might break compatibility with some games or mods that require higher DX features.
- Performance gains vary by system; what works for one rig might not help yours.
For players with lower-end GPUs or CPUs who want to squeeze out extra FPS without upgrading hardware. Also for those who don't mind tweaking system settings and following a guide. Skip if you're on a high-end rig or prefer visual fidelity over performance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Before applying registry edits, create a system restore point so you can revert if something goes wrong.
- Use the DirectX control panel to set the level limiter per-game rather than globally to avoid breaking other titles.
- Test performance in a demanding area of the game after applying the config to see if the changes actually help.
