Basic Video Settings
Turn Off What You Don't Need
V-Sync: Off
Motion Blur: Off
FPS Limit: Unlimited, or cap at 60 or 120 if your PC overheats
Motion blur adds a fancy blur effect, but it mostly just hides the fact your framerate is struggling.
Set Brightness and Sharpness
Brightness: Adjust as needed, default is fine
Sharpness: Around 0.7 to 0.8 is the sweet spot
Upscaling: Use FSR2 if you want better performance
Advanced Video Settings
Quality Preset
Set this to Custom so you can tweak each piece
Texture and Detail Settings
Texture Filtering: 2x or Off
Texture Quality: Medium or Low
Shadow Quality: Low
Effects Quality: Medium
Details: Medium
Textures and shadows are the usual suspects when frames drop. Lowering those makes the biggest difference.
Lighting and Extras
SSAO (Ambient Occlusion): Off
Screen-Space Reflections: Off
Volumetrics: Low
SSAO and reflections look nice, but they chew through performance for barely any benefit.
Common Fixes for Big Bugs
If you're seeing 50-foot grass or trees flickering across the screen, this is a known problem with 50-series NVIDIA GPUs on the latest drivers.
Try switching from Ultra to High or Medium presets to clean it up. If that fails, rolling back your GPU drivers often helps too.
Other Performance Tips
Run the game in borderless windowed mode
Disable Steam Overlay and Discord Overlay
Make sure you're playing from an SSD, not a hard drive
Restart the game after applying new settings
Final Blurb & FAQ
Lowering graphics settings in RoadCraft is a quick fix for stutters, slowdowns, and absurd mutant vegetation. The good news is the game still looks decent even when it's not maxed out.
And if your PC's from this decade, it should be enough to keep your tires turning.
FAQ
Q: What settings boost FPS the most?
Lowering shadows, volumetrics, and SSAO helps the most.
Q: Why is my grass 40 feet tall?
It's a known bug with newer NVIDIA drivers. Try using the High preset or downgrade your drivers.
Q: What resolution upscaling works best?
FSR2 with sharpness set to around 0.7 or 0.8 gives a solid mix of performance and clarity.
Q: Should I limit FPS or leave it unlimited?
If your temps are high or your monitor caps at 60 or 120Hz, set a limit. Otherwise, Unlimited is fine.
Q: Will turning all settings to Low make the game run perfectly?
It will boost FPS, but the game can still bug out. Settings help, but they do not fix everything.
