How to optimize Dragon Age The Veilguard

Fantastic visuals and utterly engrossing environments abound in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Due to its high quality in graphics and detailed settings, it performs badly; therefore, it might lag, frame drop, and other issues for low-performance gaming setups. Here we go over some of the tips for making your game run smoothly without letting your users down.

Improving Your Dragon Age Experience Guards of the Veil

To optimize the game, go to the options menu, click on Screen, and click the button. These tweaks are designed to improve stability and smoothness:

Fullscreen mode: This enables the full screen in game. Running the game in a window may lower your framerate and create stuttering/lag as other windows are opened. Furthermore, this also allows full-screen mode to be far more native to your system, making it more immersive, too.

Hertz (frame rate): Select 60 Hz for the frame rate. For a high-end monitor with 144 Hz capabilities, 60 Hz should be more than enough without overtaxing your graphics card. With a faster frame rate, specialized configurations can be fantastic, but the majority of players won't notice a pixel difference in visual quality.

You can hasten your game by turning off V-Sync. While it prevents screen tearing and input lag, it may be most noticeable when the scenes are strong, depending on your graphics hardware. But disabling it gives you higher frame rates and less small stutters.

Maximum frame rate: If you want to spare your GPU some unnecessary strain, set it at 60 FPS. There will be jerking, instability, and other issues if your PC can't manage higher frame rates. Reset to 30 FPS for additional stability if you're encountering performance issues over 60 FPS. A little aside: 60 frames per second is typically a fantastic compromise between fluidity and system load.

Some settings may be reset upon game restart. Always check your screen settings and frame rate before each game for anything out of the ordinary.

Once you have done that, click play on Dragon Age: The Veilguard again after you have relaunched it, and see if the controls work in a few areas.

Image settings balancing visuals and performance

You'll find a number of advanced choices in the Image area that can help you reach an ideal balance between performance and image quality. This step aims to optimize for minimum superfluous eye strain:

Make sure you are not using more than 85% of your graphics card's memory by adjusting the video memory settings. This is essential to maintain frame rates and avoid overheating. You can go up to 100% video memory if you want higher visual quality, but be warned that it may limit the longevity of your GPU and cause it to run hot.

Ultra tracing, reflection, and ambient occlusion are all kinds of ray tracing. All these features should be turned off: Ray tracing is power-intensive, but the technology enhances visual performance regarding shadows and reflections. Disabling these features will help improve frame rates and unlock a large amount of GPU resources.

Shadows and lighting:

Lower Sky Quality. There is a minimal difference visually, and sky quality does not affect game performance directly.

To improve performance in open areas, disable drop shadows. Turning the shadows off or reducing the settings greatly reduces the amount of resources used.

To turn off ambient occlusion, either make your way to the settings and find the option for "NVIDIA-Based Ambient Occlusion" or disable it altogether. NBAO gives the image depth without using as much system resources as higher levels do.

Since screen space reflections require constant processing to create real-time reflections on surfaces, turning them off also helps with performance.

Reduce the volumetric lighting; for the most part, it only enhances ambiance lighting effects, like light beams and fog. Turning the settings down a notch barely affects the visual experience, but they greatly reduce GPU load.

Advice: You can adjust these settings further if you wish, but for mid-level setups, it's better to keep them low in order to have a reasonable balance between performance and quality.

You also should not have too many programs running in the background.

Regapping shape and detail levels of simulated environments

Adjusting the game's rendering of landscapes and environmental detail is possible via the Geometry menu; this comes in handy if your terrain features complex architecture or dense vegetation.

Adjust the landscape detail to a low setting. Landscapes are a big drain on resources, but reducing their detail won't change the game's fundamental mechanics.

Intricacy levels: Lower or medium should be set for general details. This way, your computer won't have to work as hard to render unnecessary features for the game.

Disable details about individual hair strands. The processing effort is increased by minute visual details, such as hair strand details. You can improve performance without sacrificing graphics quality by disabling them.

Second, you should reduce the number of running programs on your computer's background. Live backgrounds, active browsers, and background streaming services are examples of resource-intensive programs. You can free up some space in your memory by ending unused processes: open Task Manager Control + Alt + Delete—Processes.

Clearing up the bloom impact

Sometimes the game feels fuzzy or out of focus because of the bloom effect, which blurs the lighting slightly. For a closer look, here's how to disable it:

Open the Dragon Age directory in the Documents, BioWare, and Dragon Age folders. Veilguard configuration.

Open Notepad or Notepad++ and open the ProfileOptions_profile file.

Search for GstRender.UI_Bloom 1.

Replace with 0 for GstRender.UI_Bloom.

Save the file and then quit the editor.

By doing this minor tweak, you'll have sharpened up your in-game shots where the brightness is high, which makes it easier to see what's happening.

After that, start Dragon Age: The Veilguard again and try it out. Try out each of the environments to determine whether the gameplay works this time. You can find the sweet spot for your system by adjusting the specific settings.

You can have perfect, lag-free gameplay in Dragon Age: The Veilguard by adjusting your settings. Now, have fun on your journey!
