Quick Links
Grounded 2features an expanded survival playground, filled with new locations to discover,resources to harvest, and bugs to squash. However, this experience can turn sour really quickly if the game isn’t performing according to your expectations. SinceGrounded 2launched in early access, players can expect the game to have optimization issues, which can cause it to perform poorly on most PCs. However, this guide will help you optimize some of the settings in-game to give you a playable experience until a performance patch drops.
Best Settings for Grounded 2 on PC
Grounded 2does not give players many settingsto work with when it comes to turning on the graphical quality and adjusting performance. The display tab mostly has some basic settings, alongside a static preset for visuals, which will decide the overall quality of the game. Let’s check out the best settings you’re able to use to increase performance.
Window Mode
Borderless Fullscreen
If you’re experiencing a loss of FPS due to Borderless Fullscreen, try switching to normal Fullscreen mode.
-
1080P: 80%,1440P: 65%,4k: 50% (will be explained later)
Quality
Medium
There aren’t any graphics settings to tune here, so you’ll have to settle for an overall preset for now.
60 or 120 FPS
V-Sync
Off
you may turn this on if you’ve capped your FPS at 60.
Chromatic Aberration
On
It does not impact the FPS, but adds an aesthetic filter to the visuals.
Field of View
80-90
Increasing your FOV will impact Grounded 2’s overall performance. It’s best to keep the slider between 80 and 90 FOV for a smooth experience.
Now, since we’ve lowered the Render Scale to less than 100%, thegame won’t be rendered at full resolution, which will increase FPS. However, it’ll make this a bit blurry, so I suggest you head inside AMD Settings or Nvidia Control Panel, and increase the sharpness of the game to about 40-50%. Since sharpening does not impact the game’s performance, your visual quality will be restored for the most part, and FPS will be increased as well.
This is suggested due to thelack of any upscaling options in the game, i.e., Nvidia DLSS or AMD FSR. If these get added to the game down the line, feel free to crank up your Render Scale back to 100%. These best settings and the workaround willlet players enjoyGrounded 2at a good FPS in both indoor and outdoor areas.
