The best settings for smooth play
Where Winds Meet is heavy on the processor as well as the graphics card, especially in Kaifeng's crowds. Change these in order:
- Upscaling at Quality — DLSS, FSR or XeSS depending on your card. It is the setting with the biggest impact.
- Draw Distance to Low. It can give back up to 20 FPS, mostly in open landscapes.
- Tessellation to Low, then Effects to Medium.
- No DLSS in the menu? The game must run in DirectX 12 for DLSS to appear — check the launch option.
- Frame Generation: it raises the counter, but reports mention shimmering. Try it only if you already get around 60 FPS.
- Install it on an SSD. With 130 GB or more of data, a hard drive means long loads.
Before you install
- Free up 130 GB on an SSD (200 GB at the recommended level).
- Where to get it: Steam, the Epic Games Store or the official client — free on all three. It is also on PS5.
- Co-op: play solo, or bring up to three friends into your world.
