Out in the confusing separate Video menu, you want to uncheck both of these. The last major drain in the Graphics menu, but the good news is that you're unlikely to notice much difference when it's off.ĥ) Turn off V-Sync and Framerate Smoothing (Settings - Video) Particularly, Shadow Quality on Maximum or High is a reasonably big ask right now.Ĥ) Turn off Screen Space Reflections (Settings - Graphics) YMMV on this one, but tinker and see what you end up with. You'll lose a certain appearance of depth by turning this off - nice if you can have it, but it's really not going to affect your play experience.ģ) Turn shadows and shadow quality down (Settings - Graphics) Some graphics cards can cope with the lower setting, Tile AO, but full-on SSAO is the second-biggest framerate-eater after MSAA. FXAA or off, that's your lot.Ģ) Turn Ambient Occlusion down or off (Settings - Graphics) I know it's the gold standard for graphics enthusiast, but right now, in XCOM 2, it's just not worth it. Well, not right off - the basic FXAA algorithm has only a minor performance hit, but the cleaner-edged MSAA really, really kills the framerate even at the lowest 2X setting. If you already know your way around XCOM 2's graphics options and haven't had much success, I urge you to jump straight to tip 7 - a driver-side fix which almost doubled my own frame-rate.ġ) Turn off anti-aliasing in-game (Settings - Graphics)

Some of these are in-game settings, some involve delving into your graphics card's driver menus, which I appreciate is an enemy unknown for some folk but honestly isn't actually that hard. Here are the things you actually should do to get XCOM 2 running significantly better - though it won't lead you all the way to the hallowed 60/Maximum, and you'll still have to suffer a lot of wild spiking in the framerate. (Though if you're experiencing crashing or installation issues, there are some more helpful things to try there). They also direct you folks' attention to this troubleshooting FAQ, but sadly it's very generic stuff, as much use as shaving foam on a Sectoid. We want everyone to have the best experience possible, and will continue supporting the title with upcoming patches." "We are aware some players have experienced performance issues while playing XCOM 2, and we are looking into them and gathering more information from users.

Fortunately, there are a few things you can do in the meantime - including one particular off-the-beaten-track fix which damn-near doubled my own frame rate.įirst up, here's the full 2K statement provided to us, though it's essentially a repeat of what they've said elsewhere: Firaxis and 2K aren't giving anything away about what the problem is or when a fix will land, though they do tell us that they're "aware some players have experienced performance issues" and that they're looking into it. It's a damn shame, crossing the line from ultimately meaningless visual sacrifices into actively annoying slowness.
I'm far from alone, as a glance at the Steam forums, official boards or Reddit will very quickly reveal.
