I’m only getting around 60–80 FPS on my laptop with an i7-13650HX, 24 GB RAM, and an RTX 5070, even with DLSS set to Performance and medium-high settings. It’s really frustrating. What kind of performance are you guys getting?
Even after lowering the graphics settings to the absolute minimum, setting DLSS to Performance mode, enabling Frame Generation, and making various other tweaks, I was still experiencing severe stuttering and sudden FPS drops in many areas, even though the game was running at a high FPS.
Naturally, this took quite a bit away from the overall gaming experience, so I came up with a solution of my own.
First step: Install the mod from the link below:
https://www.nexusmods.com/cronosthenewdawn/mods/6?tab=files
The file you need to download is "Optimized Tweaks BOOST."
Once downloaded, place the ".pak" file into:
"Cronos\Content\Paks\~mods"
If the "~mods" folder doesn't exist, simply create it yourself.
If you can't find these folders in the game's installation directory, press Win + R, type "%localappdata%", and hit Enter. Then look inside the Cronos or BendGame folders.
Second step: Cap the game at 60 FPS. This will minimize sudden FPS drops and performance fluctuations. In my experience, there isn't a noticeable difference between playing at 60 FPS and 120 FPS in this game.
I'm currently playing with DLSS set to Quality, everything on the highest graphics settings, and Ray Tracing enabled.
Keep in mind that if you want to cap your FPS properly, you'll need to disable Frame Generation. Adjust the rest of your graphics settings according to your own system.
This combination made a significant difference for me, especially when it comes to the stuttering and sudden frame drops.

When they start chasing me, what's the easiest way to shake them off and make them lose track of me?
