Settings
Particular attention should be paid to setting up the game, as this directly affects comfortable gameplay. It is highly recommended that you carefully consider the settings to ensure a positive gaming experience in the future.
To enter the settings menu you need to:
General recommendations for game settings are given below.
A game
Parameter | What does |
Language | Selecting the interface language, dialogues and NPC voice acting. |
Include training | Enables in-game tooltips/tips. It will be useful for beginners. |
Camera tracking of vehicle turns | Allows the camera to be centered when riding a moped (no need to turn your head). |
Rotate the camera when idle | When the character is in animation, the camera will rotate around him. |
Camera rotation speed when idle | Affects the speed at which the camera rotates around the player when he is in animation. |
Automatically accept tokens | Allows you to exchange markers (marks on the map) between players. |
Use caching for game data | Enabling it can have a positive effect on the performance/loading/loading of locations, microfreezes, lags if your computer has 16 GB of RAM or more. |
Graphics
Parameter | For weak PCs “no matter what lags” | For powerful PCs “I want a beautiful picture” | What does the parameter affect? |
Render type | DirectX 12 | DirectX 11 | DX12 unloads the processor, shifting some of its tasks to the video card. This helps combat lags on computers with weak processors, and in PVP when it lags in a crowd. If the processor is powerful, it is better to use DX11. So FPS will be higher. Vulcan It’s better not to use it. |
Permission | – | – | Affects the clarity of the picture. The lower the resolution, the less clear the picture will be. Reducing the resolution increases FPS if the video card is not powerful enough. |
Resolution scale | 50% | 100% | Another way to adjust resolution. |
Screen mode | – | – | “Borderless Windowed” allows you to quickly switch between games and other applications and quickly switch between multiple monitors. On computers with one monitor, it is better to use “Full Screen Mode” (this will make the game run more stable). |
Vertical Sync | Off | incl. | Allows you to remove image tearing that occurs during fast movements, limiting the FPS on the monitor’s Hertz. Enabling this parameter worsens the response to mouse and keyboard commands. |
Field of view | – | – | Allows you to adjust the number of objects that fit on the screen. At a higher value, more objects are visible, but they are smaller. At a low value, objects will be larger and closer. |
Frame rate limit | – | – | Limits the maximum frame rate (FPS) to the value you specify. To remove the restriction, enter “0”. |
Full dynamic lighting | Off | incl. | Affects the softness of shadow edges. When turned on, the shadows will become softer |
FidelyFX Super Resolution 2 | Ultra performance | Do not use | Allows you to increase FPS while slightly reducing the overall picture quality. ! Doesn’t work unless Temporal AA antialiasing is enabled! |
FidelyFX Sharpness | – | – | Increases sharpness when using FidelyFX Super Resolution 2. |
Cloud type | Simple clouds (old) | Volumetric clouds (new) | Changes the appearance of clouds: regular clouds load the computer less and look flat. The new ones look bulky and put more strain on the computer. |
Motion blur | 0.08 | 0.08 | Adds motion blur, which improves smoothness during sudden mouse movements (but reduces clarity). Too high a value can greatly reduce the clarity of the game. |
Quality | Low | Maximum | Affects the blur quality. On average, the picture at the moment of blur will be more “pixelated” than on maximum. |
Temporal AA smoothing method | yes | yes | Enables/disables anti-aliasing. Turning anti-aliasing on helps eliminate flicker in grass/trees/fence mesh. Also, with anti-aliasing turned off, the rain looks rougher. |
Quality | Average | Average | Affects smoothing speed: –Low: Anti-aliasing will only work while in motion. A static image will not be smoothed; –Average: the picture will be smoothed by a temporal algorithm. This is the best option in terms of quality of smoothing and image sharpness (according to the creators of the game engine); –High, very high and maximum: Improves motion clarity but increases flicker on thin objects. |
Image Sharpness | 2.5 | 2.5 | Allows you to make objects more/less clear. |
Graphics quality | Low | Custom | – |
Draw distance | Low | Maximum | Display range of objects: trees, bushes, stones, cars. Does not affect the display range of characters (300 meters / 1000 meters in the Foothills location). |
Anti-aliasing quality | Maximum | Maximum | –Low: no smoothing; –Average: low-quality FXAA anti-aliasing; –High: low-quality TAA anti-aliasing (the outlines of moving objects are visible); –Maximum: high-quality TAA anti-aliasing (the most preferred option). |
Post-processing | Low | High | Affects the effects of light scattering (blinding glare of sunlight, volumetric solar rays). |
Shadows | Low | Maximum | Adjusts the display, as well as the drawing distance and quality of shadows. |
Textures | Low | High | The higher the quality, the further away high-quality textures are drawn. |
Show character death effects | No | – | After the death of a character, sparks appear above his body (bats, during Halloween), which makes it clear that the player has died. |

Sound
Parameter | What does the parameter affect? |
Speaker mode | Responsible for the quality of sound reproduction (surroundness). It is recommended to select a speaker mode that matches your audio system. For example, do not select “7.1 Surround Sound” if you are using regular speakers – this will NOT improve the sound quality, but will only increase the load on the system. |
Sound quality | Adjusts the sound quality. Owners of weak PCs are recommended to select “Low” to reduce the load on the system. |
General volume | Adjusts the overall game volume, including all sounds. |
Music volume | Adjusts the volume of musical accompaniment: background sounds of locations and music at events. |
Effects Volume | Adjusts the volume of shots, steps, screams of mobs… |
Character voice volume | Adjusts the volume of character voices: yours, other players and all NPCs, including guides. |
Voice communication volume | Adjusts the volume of the interlocutor’s voice when communicating in game voice chat. |
Walkie Talkie Volume | Adjusts the volume of the interlocutor’s voice when communicating via walkie-talkie. |
Interface sound volume | Adjusts the volume of PDA sounds, chat message notifications, and other notifications. |
VOIP enabled | By checking the box, you will be able to communicate in voice chat with other players: hear them and speak yourself. Without a checkmark, voice chat will be disabled – you will not be able to hear others or speak. |
Recording device | Select the microphone you are using. |
