• Enabling 8-Bit Textures offers a small speed up
• Texture Filtering improves font text on anything higher than native resolution I got around 55-60FPS depending on the scenario. The only issue I came across was missing character shadows and minor texture flickering in at least 2 spots(outside shop window, one spot in castle). Everything else seems fine. Not sure if it freezes still as I haven't got that far. |
