Game engine is inherited from CryTek and therefore some tweaks of CryTek will work here. By the rumors, the one of the CryTek issues is the processor threads utilization. By default, it assumes that each processor core has 2 threads, but if it actually has only 1, performance goes down. Seems like there is a custom setting for this (r_MultiThreaded), among other settings to utilize threads that are not in the menu. So, I've made small custom config for myself and it actually improved my experience. "Borderless" window instead of fullscreen can give a little better performance in games. For NVidia, in Control Panel app (Windows Store one), I've used simple slider adjustment all the way left to "Performance". If your performance as bad as mine, custom config may help. Open - "Notepad app", paste lines below, "Save as", navigate to "LIVE" folder, type filename "USER.cfg" to save. r_VSync = 0 r_TexMaxAnisotropy = 16 r_TexMinAnisotropy = 16 r_Sharpening = 0.4 r_SSReflections = 1 r_ColorGrading = 1 r_TesselationPreTesselateOnGPU = 1 e_Tesselation = 1 r_MultiThreaded = 0 sys_physics_GPU = 1 ai_NavigationSystemMT = 1 e_ParticlesThread = 1 e_StatObjMergeUseThread = 1 gfx_loadtimethread = 1 p_num_threads = 1 sys_job_system_enable = 1 sys_main_CPU = 3 sys_streaming_CPU = 2 sys_physics_CPU = 1 Absolutely custom frame rate cap can be set with "sys_maxfps = 24"
