The game informed me that “due to memory constraints” a number of the default settings have been downgraded. Based on my experience, it does help.Īt first, I thought the option also helped boost my FPS because the game was running much better with it turned on, but then I checked the Settings menu. The developers themselves said in a forum post that doing so will prevent crashes while alt-tabbing. I read in a different Warhammer 3 optimization guide that it might help. Run In Windowīefore playing around with the settings I decided to turn on the ‘Run in Window’ option to see if that did anything. Keep that in mind while you’re playing around with settings. Speaking of deceiving appearances, Legendary Lords have much better textures compared to regular Lords and Heroes. The performance there could be considered comparable to what I saw in the benchmarks but the campaign map is an entirely different story. I want to take this moment to mention that Total War: Warhammer 3 runs much better during the Prologue where you have a much smaller map with very few factions. Frames during battles were also lower than what the benchmark suggested, but they were still at a respectable 50-60 FPS. I loaded up my Legion of Chaos campaign (turn 68) and whaddayaknow, 15-25 FPS on the campaign map. However, those benchmarks didn’t hold up at all while actually playing the game.

I went with that and ran a couple of benchmarks that looked quite promising. Warhammer 3 recommend that I go with the Medium present. We’re starting from scratch so the first thing I did was to revert all the changes I had previously made and let the game pick the best configuration for me. With all that out of the way, let’s get started. However, I will touch upon a couple of things you can do outside the game, too. People aren’t complaining about the Warhammer 3 performance for nothing.Īlso worth mentioning is that I’m mostly going to cover what you can do in-game to increase your performance. If you’re cranking up everything to the max, the game is likely to run poorly regardless of your PC. Having that said, lowering or turning off certain settings will help improve your performance even if you have a much beefier rig than mine. In other words, this is a guide from the perspective of someone who’s using average hardware to run the game. I’m still rocking a GTX 970 paired with an i5 6660K CPU, 16 gigs or DDR4 RAM, and running the game off an SSD. But what about the here and now? Well, as it happens, there are a number of things you can do to boost your FPS in Warhammer 3 while still maintaining the visual fidelity at a decent level.īefore we proceed with this Warhammer 3 optimization guide it’s worth noting that the hardware I’m using to run the game is fairly old. Total War: Warhammer 2 had a lot of similar issues at launch and most of them were eventually fixed, so it’s safe to say that Warhammer 3 performance will likely improve significantly further down the road.
While the game is running better than its predecessor in some respects, the Warhammer 3 optimization is overall less than ideal. A good chunk of players aren’t happy with some of the new factions and mechanics but the main point of contention is definitely the performance issues. Total War: Warhammer 3 is finally out and the reception has been pretty mixed so far.
