With appropriate settings, most players should be able to achieve | With appropriate settings, most players should be able to achieve high framerates and smooth gameplay. Modern gaming machines should have well over 72fps, often 120fps or more, even with all settings maximised. At medium settings, good framerates such as 60fps can be achieved even on older hardware. | ||

* If you have a high-powered graphics card and the game still stutters sometimes when moving, try '''increasing''' the Chunk Upload Rate Limiter, a mid-range setting like 3 or 4 seems to be best for most people but the optimum is different on every setup, it may need to be higher. | * If you have a high-powered graphics card and the game still stutters sometimes when moving, try '''increasing''' the Chunk Upload Rate Limiter, a mid-range setting like 3 or 4 seems to be best for most people but the optimum is different on every setup, it may need to be higher. | ||
Try also adjusting Max FPS and VSync settings | Try also adjusting Max FPS and VSync settings. It's best first to check performance with Max FPS set to '''Unlimited''' and VSync off. But please do also try MaxFPS set to a number around the framerate you are seeking to achieve: things may actually work better if it is set to 72 or 120fps (for example) compared with Unlimited. | ||
For any unexplained issue (especially if you're new to Vintage Story, or you just upgraded your PC or graphics card), try updating or fully re-installing your graphics drivers. Unexplained issues sometimes are due to subtly broken or out-dated graphics drivers or some weird setting made by another game, re-installing should reset everything properly. | For any unexplained issue (especially if you're new to Vintage Story, or you just upgraded your PC or graphics card), try updating or fully re-installing your graphics drivers.

For issues still not resolved, especially if it's an occasional stutter issue like once every few seconds, look at [[Framerate_and_Performance#Causes outside Vintage Story|possible causes '''outside Vintage Story''']] - in particular, if you are using the '''Discord app''' while playing - as a lot of people like to do - look at that as a possible cause, try shutting it down completely and see if that solves the issue. | |||
Do bear in mind also that some '''mods''' can increase the load on your system, for testing and solving framerate issue it is best to test in the vanilla (unmodded) game and get things working properly in that first, then introduce mods one by one and see if things are still good. | |||
