Mistfall Hunter has pretty demanding computer hardware requirements, and many people have trouble with their FPS, lag, or stutter when playing. But don’t worry, there are some easy adjustments you can make to improve things for your game. In this guide, we’ll tell you the best settings for Mistfall Hunter to improve performance, increase FPS, and make your gameplay smoother without sacrificing too much visual quality.
Best Settings in Mistfall Hunter
- First, begin by changing the power settings to Balanced in Windows Power Settings.
- Then navigate to Apps > Startup and remove any programs that start at startup if you do not use them.
- Navigate to Settings > Gaming. Disable Xbox Game Bar and Captures, including Background Recording and Audio Capture.
- However, ensure that Game Mode is set to On since this tells the Windows system to give your game priority.
- Next, open Graphics Settings and switch on optimisations for windowed games.
- Navigate to Advanced Graphics Settings and ensure that Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) is also On.
Graphics Settings
Before changing individual settings, you should try using the Auto Quality feature offered by the game to see what it suggests based on your system. In case you are not satisfied with the outcome, then you need to change the Overall Quality Preset to Custom and tweak all the settings manually.
The last step involves tuning the graphics settings inside the game for optimal performance. Lowering demanding options while keeping important visual settings enabled can significantly increase FPS without making the game look bad.
NVIDIA Settings
If you are using NVIDIA graphics cards, open the NVIDIA app or the NVIDIA Control Panel and change the global settings accordingly. In the case of DLSS Frame Generation, choose Preset B since it is the best compromise between smoothness and UI readability.
Switch Low Latency mode to Ultra for better performance. For G-Sync, cap your FPS a little below the refresh rate of your monitor. If you have installed many games on your PC, set the Shader Cache Size to 100 GB (in case you have enough space). This will help prevent shader recompilation, which causes stuttering in some games.
On the Display tab, choose the following settings: G-Sync in Fullscreen mode, native resolution of your monitor and the highest possible refresh rate. Digital Vibrance can be increased to 55% to make the colours of the game more vibrant and to make enemies more visible.
AMD Radeon Settings
First, AMD users should install the newest Radeon driver. In the Radeon software, choose your dedicated graphics instead of integrated graphics. FSR Upscaling and Frame Generation should be turned on for the game to always use AMD’s most up-to-date performance technology.
If your monitor supports FreeSync, set your FPS limit to three frames below your monitor’s refresh rate. If your game is stuttering randomly, then Shader Cache should be cleared. It can help solve shader corruption that causes performance problems.
Another way is to perform a mild GPU overclock with the help of Radeon Software. This method will help to increase FPS, although performance varies depending on the graphics card used. Finally, in the Display section, make sure that FreeSync Premium is on and that your monitor runs at max refresh rate.
DLSS Frame Generation
If your graphics card is capable of supporting the DLSS frame generation feature, you might as well want to enable that one as well. Enabling 2x on it will definitely help you gain more FPS, and when using Mistfall Hunter, it works pretty well without any visible visual problems. Below is the recommended configuration for Mistfall Hunter:
- Ray Tracing: Off
- Shadow Quality: Moderate
- View Distance: Moderate
- Texture Quality: Epic
- SFX Quality: Moderate
- Post-Processing: Epic
- Motion Blur: Off
- Global Illumination: Moderate
- GPU Crash Debugging: Off
- FPS Cap: 60
These settings provide smooth gameplay while keeping the game looking sharp.
Audio Settings
Your audio settings are entirely based on personal preference. One balanced setup is:
- Sound Effects: 41
- Music: 31
- Voice: 41
If you use voice chat, don’t forget to configure your microphone settings as well.
Gameplay Settings
Most gameplay settings can be left as default, but there are some that need to be changed. It is very helpful to have your Warehouse Auto Sort checked on for better inventory management. The next setting, Auto Close Inventory When Taking Damage, is quite interesting. If you keep it on, your inventory will close automatically in case your opponent attacks you, which helps you respond faster. But if you regularly change your armour while playing, this option might turn out to be quite annoying for you.
