High on Life 2 has just launched on PC and consoles, but many players are met with an unexpected surprise: subpar performance on PC, leaving some feeling frustrated. As you step into this vibrant world, the last thing you want is stutter ruining your experience. It turns out, the renowned Unreal Engine 5 may be the troublemaker in making your journey less than smooth.
Luckily, with a few tweaks, you can enhance your gameplay significantly. By adjusting your settings, you can transform those lag spikes into a smoother experience, allowing you to enjoy every chaotic moment.
Best High on Life 2 Graphics Settings
Before sharing my preferred configurations, let’s lay out the specs of my gaming machine.
- AMD Ryzen 5600G
- 16 GB of DDR5 RAM
- NVIDIA RTX 3060 12 GB
Here’s what I’ve been using to achieve the best possible gameplay.
- Window Mode: Windowed Fullscreen (personal preference)
- Resolution: 1920×1080 (tailored to your setup)
- Framerate Limit: 60
- V Sync: Disabled
- Graphics Quality: Medium
- Upscaling: NVIDIA DLSS (or FSR for AMD users)
- Upscaling Method: Balanced
- Frame Generation Technologies: Off
- Latency Reduction Technologies: Off
- Motion Blur: Disabled
- Chromatic Aberration: Disabled
- FOV: 90
- View Distance Quality: Medium
- Global Illumination Quality: Medium
- Anti-Aliasing Quality: Medium
- Shadow Quality: Low
- Post Process Quality: Medium
- Texture Quality: Medium
- Effects Quality: Medium
- Foliage Quality: Low if performance lags.
Here’s a pointer: I experimented with setting FPS to unlimited, as well as 120 FPS. However, both configurations resulted in frustrating stutter. For those with less powerful setups, sticking to 60 FPS seems not only wise but also sufficient. Since High on Life 2 is more about enjoying the experience rather than competing, you’ll find that 60 FPS keeps gameplay fluid and enjoyable.
V Sync is disabled by default, and trust me, that’s a good thing. This feature often drains resources without delivering significant benefits. Keeping your system light will lead to a better gaming experience.
So, as you gear up to conquer the universe, are you ready to adjust your settings for smoother gameplay?
