Fall Guys is one of the most popular multiplayer games lately thanks to its free version and multiplayer support between all platforms. The game starts from a simple premise, a marathon of obstacles where the objective is to reach the finish line in several rounds of elimination in circuits full of obstacles. That is why we have thought that you are going to want to fine-tune your PC so that problems such as input lag or low frame rate do not harm you in your games.
In a world where violence is the norm and incredibly realistic graphics reign everywhere, it is surprising to see games where the objective is not to murder any mass of textured polygons in the shape of a humanoid. This is where Fall Guys comes in, a game with mechanics that could very well be the video game version of the famous Japanese show, Takeshi’s Castle, yellow humor for the layman. Well, since it is not a particularly well-optimized title and many players have encountered performance problems when running the game.
How to get more FPS and less Input Lag in Fall Guys?
If you have problems running Fall Guys , here are a series of tips that can help you increase performance in the game. Although the first thing we have to tell you is that you have both your graphics card drivers and Windows updated . We say it over and over, but it’s important because the latest game updates are meant to work with up-to-date graphics and system software.
If you find that you are experiencing performance issues, then try the following graphics settings:
- Vertical sync: off.
- Texture level: at half resolution.
- Shadow Detail: Low.
- Motion blur or Motion Blur: low
- Bloom: off
- Field of view or Depth of Field: off.
- Ambient occlusion: none
- Anisotropic filter: off.
- SSR or Screen Space Reflections: none.
Obviously the level of visual quality of the game will be affected, but this is not a title that stands out for this and you will be able to play without performance problems with your friends. Ideal for those who have a modest PC with integrated or low-end graphics.
The power plan could be the bottleneck
Another reason may be that your PC is using a power plan that makes neither the processor nor the graphics work at maximum power. So you will have to change it, to do this enter “Control Panel” in the search box on the Windows taskbar and once there do the following:
- Select Hardware and Sound
- Once inside choose Power Options.
- You should see several different plans. Choose the one that says Maximum Performance.
In the event that the option does not appear, simply go to the command prompt or terminal by typing cmd in the search box and once it has opened, type the following in said window:
powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61
Let’s not forget that Fall Guys is a modest game, after all it recommends to play 8 GB of RAM, an i5 from more than five years ago and a GTX 660 or AMD 7950 graphics card with 1 or 2 GB of video memory. So it is possible that your graphics card is being underutilized by the game, which would be detected as a low-performing application.
