Kicking Upwards: Essential Settings and Troubleshooting Guide

This guide compiles available information regarding optimal settings and common troubleshooting for the game 'Kicking Upwards'. Due to limited official documentation or extensive community guides, the information presented focuses on user-reported issues and developer responses.

Graphics and Performance Settings

Players experiencing visual choppiness or microstutters, particularly when moving the camera, have reported these issues even with high frame rates (e.g., 200+ FPS). This can make the game feel like it's running at a much lower frame rate (e.g., 15 FPS).

  • Motion Blur: According to a developer, 'Kicking Upwards' does not have motion blurring or effects linked to camera movement. Therefore, issues related to motion blur cannot be resolved by disabling such a setting.
  • Troubleshooting Microstutters: While a reinstall was suggested by a developer, at least one user reported that it did not resolve their microstuttering problem. The issue appears to be particularly noticeable when looking towards mountains. Users have noted these microstutters in frametime graphs. As of current information, no definitive 'best settings' have been provided to resolve these specific graphics issues.

    • Control Settings

    Adjusting control settings can sometimes alleviate perceived performance issues or improve gameplay feel.

  • Mouse Sensitivity: If the game feels sluggish, increasing mouse sensitivity has been mentioned as a potential fix, though it may not address all underlying performance problems.
  • Sprint Key: A community request has been made for an option to have the sprint key function as a toggle, rather than requiring continuous holding. As of now, it's unclear if this option exists or has been implemented.
