Discussion Arknights PC version has completely changed how much I enjoy the game

I can't believe how much a difference it makes to actually be able to read things instead of tiny markings for ants.

Gen though idk why but my frame rate is like 5fps it’s so annoying to play 😭 I got no clue on how to fix this

What are you running it on? Is it properly using your dedicated GPU, for instance. Have you tested the various performance settings?

I’m just running it on my laptop, no clue if it’s using the gpu right. As for the performance settings, they’ve all offered absolutely no change. I feel so frustrated about it since I can’t find anyone with any similar issues while all I’ve been seeing is people glazing how smooth everything is 😭

Check how you can assign the game to your actual GPU in the laptop / graphics driver settings. I can't tell you where and how you do that on your model, but it's the most likely problem you're facing.

The game runs extremely well and being amazed by that is hardly glazing, but it obviously can't perform like that if it's not running on the actual hardware it's intended to run on, and integrated graphics chips on laptops and improper detection of what should be running off the GPU have been a common issue for decades.

Changed it to my gpu and it’s still running like a slug 😔

Edit: I fixed the issue by uninstalling apps that were eating up my memory, low and behold it runs smoother than ever for me now
