🎯Make it smooth. Make it pretty. Make it yours.
- If the game feels laggy, lower View Range first, then World Quality.
- If you have an NVIDIA card, try PhysX Cloth: Low for your character only.
- Turn Reflection off for a big FPS boost in towns and near water.
- Keep Texture Quality: High if you have 2 GB VRAM or more — it looks better and barely hurts FPS once loaded.
⚙️ Where to Change Settings
In the game: Menu → Options → Video
Apply, then relog if you changed Texture Quality to fully reload textures.

🎚️ The Sliders and What They Do
View Range
How far the game draws the world before fog hides it.
Impact: Very high. Your first tweak when FPS drops.
- None: Extreme performance mode
- Near: Great for low-end PCs and crowded areas
- Normal: Sweet spot for most players
- Far: Best awareness for PvP and boss spotting
World Quality
Primarily shadow quality.
Impact: High. Shadows are expensive.
Very Low to Advanced — higher levels add softer, cleaner shadows but cost FPS.
Char Quality
Detail on players, NPCs, and mobs.
Impact: Medium to high in crowded maps.
Low, Medium, High — bumps polycount, texture detail, and shaders.
Texture Quality
How sharp all textures load.
Impact: Medium on VRAM and load time, small on FPS once loaded.
- Low: Saves memory on integrated graphics
- Medium: Safe on 1–2 GB VRAM
- High: Use it if you can. Looks best.
Texture Filter
Removes blur on floors and far angles.
Impact: Low to medium.
Trilinear → Anisotropic 16X — the higher, the sharper (4X is a great default).
PhysX Cloth
Realistic cloth motion on capes, flags, robes.
Impact: Low to medium.
- Off: Max performance
- Low: Only your character uses cloth physics
- High: Everyone’s cloth moves — looks great in screenshots.
💡 What is PhysX Cloth?
PhysX Cloth simulates fabric in real time so it drapes, folds, and reacts to movement, wind, gravity, and collisions.
Without it, cloth looks rigid or uses simple canned animations.
With it enabled, capes sway and snap naturally as you run or fight.
Hardware notes: Works on CPU for any system, but NVIDIA GPUs accelerate it better.
Performance impact: Low to medium, depending on crowd size.
Effects Toggles
- Reflection: Mirrors and water reflections. Looks awesome, heavy on FPS.
- Glow: Light bloom for weapons and spells. Medium cost.
- Post Process: Color grading, motion blur, SSAO, and friends. Medium to high cost.
- Screen Distortion: Heat haze, refraction through glass and water. Medium cost.
- Buff Effect, Target Effect, Item Effect, Map Point: Helpful visuals with low cost. Turn off only if you need a super clean screen.

🧩 What to Lower First When FPS Tanks
- View Range
- World Quality
- Reflection
- Char Quality
- Post Process
- Texture Quality (if VRAM limited)
Least painful: Map Point, Item Effect, Target Effect, Buff Effect, Texture Filter.
🧪 How to Test Properly
- Go to a busy area or an effects-heavy map.
- Set View Range to Normal, run around, note feel.
- Toggle World Quality. If FPS jumps, keep it lower.
- Enable Glow and Post Process last.
- Lock at 60 FPS with Frame Limit for smoother pacing if you are not on a high refresh monitor.
🛠️ Common Problems and Fixes
Settings Did Not Save
- Run the game as administrator once.
- Close other tools that might lock config files.
- Apply, then relaunch if you changed Texture Quality.
Textures Look Blurry After Changing Quality
- Relog or change maps to force a reload.
- Make sure Texture Filter is at least Anisotropic 4X.
PhysX Cloth Not Working
- Update GPU drivers.
- NVIDIA users: install the PhysX runtime.
- Use Low instead of High on older GPUs.
Weird Lighting or Artifacts
- Turn Post Process Off to isolate.
- Update drivers and Windows.
- Lower World Quality and Reflection in water-heavy maps.
💬 FAQ
Does Texture Quality change FPS a lot?
Not usually. It mostly affects VRAM and loading time. Once loaded, FPS impact is small.
Should I cap FPS?
Yes if you are on 60 Hz. It reduces heat, noise, and stutter. If you have 144 Hz and a strong GPU, you can keep it uncapped or cap to 144.
Is Anisotropic 16X worth it?
It looks great on floors and roads at angles. If you need a tiny bit more performance, drop to 8X or 4X.
Why does Reflection cost so much?
The game draws the scene again for the reflection. If your FPS dips near water or shiny floors, turn it off.
🏁 Recommended Starting Points by Goal
- I want max clarity for PvP: Far view, Medium world, Medium char, Glow On, Post Off, Reflection Off.
- I want eye candy for screenshots: Very High preset, Reflection On, PhysX Cloth High. Expect lower FPS.
- I want the smoothest grind: Normal view, Low world, Medium char, Reflection Off, Glow On, Post On, Frame Limit On.
🧠 Conclusion
Tuning your video settings is about priorities. If you want pure smoothness, lower View Range and World Quality.
If you want style points, keep Texture Quality High and enable Glow and Post Process.
Start with a preset, test in a busy area, and make small changes until it feels perfect.
