Player Unknown - Battlegrounds Steady FPS Guide

Battlegrounds is a very addicted game which is improving constantly with updates weekly. The only issue is after the last update my FPS has dropped considerably with a lot of in game crashes.

After a lot of tweaking and searching the net, I have managed to get a steady 60 FPS and completely stopped my game crashed every 5 minuets. Follow the steps below to hopefully solve your issues.

STEP 1 - The first thing you need to edit your steam launch options which can be accessed by right clicking your game in the steam library, clicking properties and then launch options.

Paste the following:

-sm4 -malloc=system -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -maxMem=24000 -force-feature-level-11-0 -high +mat_antialias 0 window +Vt_maxPPF=16

Change "max mem" to the amount of RAM your system has, i.e
i have 24GB, so mine is set to -maxMem=24000

Change the number to match your systems
4GB = -maxMem=4000
8GB = -maxMem=8000
12GB = -maxMem=12000
16GB = -maxMem=16000

and so on.

Step 2 - Go into your user folder on your C drive. View hidden folders and go into you %app data% folder. Look for the Folder TSL GAME and go into the config folder.

For example mine was here C:\Users\Pc-***\AppData\Local\TslGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

There are then 3 files that you need to edit.

File 1 - Engine.ini - Right click and edit then copy the following: (Right click file asfter saving, click properties and make read only)

After you have done these steps. Close everything and launch game your FPS should be a steady 60 FPS :)

This worked for me and most of has come from this guide I have watched on youtube. He has a few more things you can do. Please check him out link to Youtube guide!
