Gray Zone Warfare just came out on Steam early access, right when Escape from Tarkov, the big game of this type, is having some problems.
But players are saying that the new game doesn’t run very well, at least not at the start. Luckily, the developers have some advice to help make it run smoother on your computer.
First, they say to pick the server with the lowest delay, which makes sense. But if you’re waiting a long time to get in, they suggest joining the Lamang Recovery Initiative group.
It’s not as crowded right now, so you might get into games faster with them. Just remember, you have to stick with that group until the game resets.
The developers also give some tips for adjusting your graphics settings based on what kind of graphics card you have. If you have an Nvidia 30xx series card, they suggest using FSR with certain settings.
For a 40xx series card, they recommend DLSS and turning on a setting in Windows. For AMD cards, they suggest using FSR and adjusting settings to balance performance and quality. And if you have an Intel card, they recommend a different upscaling method.
You can find all these settings in the game’s graphics options menu.
They also mention that sometimes the game might not run smoothly, especially when you’re exploring new areas. This might be because the game is loading things as you move around. Once it’s loaded everything, it should run better.
Some players, like Pestily, a well-known Tarkov player, have set all their graphics settings to the lowest level to make sure the game runs smoothly, especially when they’re streaming it. That’s what a lot of serious Tarkov players have been doing for a while now.
