Graphics and Performance Optimization
Optimizing graphics settings is key to balancing visual quality with smooth performance, especially on lower-end devices.
Global Quality Settings: This option allows you to quickly apply a preset quality level (Minimum, Low, Medium, or High) to all graphical settings at once. This is useful for quick optimization.
* Minimum: Introduced in version 0.84.5, this setting reduces the game's resolution slightly more than the "Low" setting and disables shadows to improve performance.
* Recommended: Upon first installation or reinstallation (as of update 0.84.5), players are automatically assigned a recommended quality setting based on their device's "Stumble Score".
Display Resolution: This determines the percentage of your screen resolution the game uses for rendering.
* For optimal image clarity, set it to 100% (full native resolution).
* If you experience lag or performance issues, decreasing the resolution can significantly improve performance, especially on weaker devices. Matching your in-game resolution to your monitor's resolution is also recommended.
Frame Rate Limit: Adjusting this setting controls the smoothness of the game and can reduce the load on your hardware, preventing overheating.
* Choose the highest available option if your device can handle it.
* For devices with lower performance, limiting the frame rate to 30 FPS can improve stability.
Anti-Aliasing: This setting helps produce smoother and more realistic images.
* Use the maximum anti-aliasing settings for better visual quality.
* If performance issues arise, reduce or disable anti-aliasing.
Shadow Quality: Controls the detail and realism of shadows.
* "High" shadows appear more natural but consume more processing power.
* Lowering or completely disabling shadows can significantly boost performance, especially on mobile devices or if experiencing lag.
Texture Resolution: Adjusts the quality of surface details on characters, objects, and environments.
* "High" provides crisp, detailed textures but may use more RAM and GPU power.
* For better visuals, it's suggested to keep it on high.
HQ Models (High-Quality Models): Refers to more detailed character models with better textures and animations.
* Enable for a more visually appealing game.
* Disable if you encounter performance issues.
Audio Settings
Sound Effects (SFX) Volume: Adjusts the volume of in-game sound effects like button clicks and spin effects.
Music Volume: Controls the background music volume.
Camera Settings
Camera settings allow you to adjust how the in-game camera behaves for a better gaming experience.
Controller Sensitivity: Adjusts how quickly the camera responds to your controller inputs. Higher sensitivity means faster camera movement with smaller stick movements, which can be useful for quick reactions but might reduce precision. You might find separate settings for X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) sensitivity.
Camera Sensitivity (Mobile/Touchscreen): Affects how fast the camera moves when you swipe or drag your finger on the screen.
Input and Control Customization
These settings allow you to personalize your controls for a more comfortable and efficient gaming session.
Touch Control Layout (Mobile): Customize the position and size of on-screen buttons. Ensure that the emoji button is not placed in an area used for camera control. Keeping button size "little Big" can be helpful.
Control Stick (Mobile): Defines how the virtual joystick behaves. "Dynamic" means it appears wherever you touch the left side of the screen, while "Fixed" keeps it in one set position. A "Static" control stick is recommended so buttons don't move during gameplay.
Scroll Speed (Steam): Adjusts the speed of scrolling within menus and the game.
Controller Icons (Steam): Choose the type of icons displayed for controllers (e.g., Xbox, PlayStation).
Mouse Sensitivity (Steam): Controls how fast the camera responds to mouse movement. Higher sensitivity means quicker camera turns with less mouse movement, ideal for fast gameplay.
Aim Assist (Mobile): With Aim Assist set to On, your shots are more likely to connect, which is especially helpful on touchscreens.
Interface Settings
These settings control what appears on your screen and how it's presented.
Show Player Names: Toggle the visibility of player names during gameplay. It's suggested to turn them on when playing with friends and off otherwise for better visibility.
Show Time Records: Toggle the display of time records for race and elimination maps.
Fullscreen (Steam): Toggle between a windowed or full-screen display of the game.
System-Level Performance Boosts (PC Specific)
For PC players, optimizing your operating system and graphics card settings can significantly improve Stumble Guys' performance.
Update Drivers: Ensure your graphics drivers are updated to the latest version for optimal game performance.
Windows Power Plan:
* Search for "edit power plan" in Windows settings and go to "Power Options." Select "Ultimate Performance mode" if available.
* If "Ultimate Performance mode" is not listed, you can enable it via Command Prompt. Then refresh the page and activate it.
* Alternatively, in "Additional power settings," experiment with different power plans like "Balanced," "High Performance," or "Quick CPU Stream" to see which works best for your PC.
Game Mode (Windows): Activate "Game Mode" in Windows settings to optimize your operating system for gaming.
Graphics Card Control Panel (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel):
* NVIDIA Control Panel:
* In "Adjust image settings with preview," choose "Use my preference emphasizing: Performance".
* Set "Power management mode" to "Prefer maximum performance".
* Set "Texture filtering" to "High performance".
* Set "Vertical sync" to "Off".
* Ensure your graphics card is set to be "in use" for rendering CPU.
* AMD Control Panel: Copy recommended settings as shown in optimization guides.
* Intel Graphics Card: Set to "performance mode".
Display Resolution (System Level): If you lowered your in-game resolution, ensure your display resolution in the graphics card control panel also matches it.
Scale and Layout (Windows Display Settings): Change the size of text, apps, and other items to 100%.
Adjust Appearance and Performance of Windows: Search for this setting and choose "Adjust for best performance" to reduce the resolution of Windows appearance.
Task Manager Optimization:
* End Unnecessary Tasks: Close programs that are consuming a lot of GPU or CPU usage in the background.
* Set Game Priority: In the "Details" tab of Task Manager, right-click on the Stumble Guys process and set its priority to "High" or "Above normal".
* Disable Startup Programs: Disable programs that automatically start with your PC and run in the background, as they can cause FPS drops on lower-end PCs.
Storage Sense (Windows): Configure Storage Sense to automatically delete temporary files, files in the recycle bin (older than 14 days), and files in the download folder (older than 60 days).
Number of Processors: In System Configuration > Boot > Advanced options, check the "Number of processors" and set it to the highest possible number.
Launcher Compatibility Settings (e.g., Steam):
* Right-click on your game launcher (e.g., Steam) and go to "Properties" > "Compatibility."
* Enable "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select the latest Windows version (e.g., Windows 8).
* Disable "Reduce color mode".
* Disable "Run in 640x480 screen resolution".
* Disable "Disable fullscreen optimizations".
* Enable "Run this program as an administrator." Restart your PC after applying these changes.
Troubleshooting and Best Practices
Test Settings: After making changes, especially to graphics, go back to the main menu and test your new settings. If you notice performance issues, try reducing shadow quality, anti-aliasing, or disabling high-quality models.
Restart Game/PC: Some settings require a game or PC restart to take full effect.
