BENCH NOTE
The short answer
Update the game first. If frame drops remain, turn VSync off, set a stable 30 or 60 FPS target, restart, then retest the same repair scene before changing additional settings.
VERIFIED WORKFLOW
Do this in order
- 01
Install the current patch
Official updates have included performance and gameplay fixes, so compare only after Steam finishes updating.
- 02
Use the official first adjustment
Disable VSync and choose a 30 or 60 FPS target.
- 03
Retest one repeatable repair
Use the same device and camera movement so you can tell whether the change helped.
- 04
Check the minimum baseline
The official store lists Windows 10 x64, a 2-core/4-thread CPU, 4 GB RAM, GTX 750 Ti, DirectX 11, and 1 GB storage; macOS requires macOS 14, Apple M1, and 8 GB RAM.
Avoid generic fake fixes
Do not enable technologies the game does not document or download third-party 'repair' utilities. Change one setting at a time and preserve a reproducible test scene.
