Common performance issues

Common performance issues in Asterune can be caused by a variety of factors, including hardware limitations, software conflicts, and network issues. These issues can manifest in different ways, such as:

  • Low framerate: The game runs at a lower frames per second (FPS) than expected, resulting in choppy or stuttery gameplay.
  • Input lag: Delays between your input and the game's response, making controls feel unresponsive.
  • Stuttering: Sudden drops in framerate or inconsistent performance, causing the game to feel jerky or uneven.
  • Crashes: The game unexpectedly closes or freezes, often accompanied by error messages.
  • Long loading times: Extended wait times when starting the game or loading new areas.
  • Network lag: Delays in online gameplay, often resulting in rubberbanding or disconnections.
  • Visual artifacts: Unintended graphical glitches, such as flickering textures or missing objects.
  • Audio issues: Problems with sound quality, such as distortion or missing audio cues.

Troubleshooting steps

  1. Check system requirements: Ensure your hardware meets the minimum requirements for Asterune. If your system is below the recommended specifications, consider upgrading your hardware or adjusting in-game settings for better performance.
  2. Update drivers: Ensure your graphics card and other hardware drivers are up to date. Visit the manufacturer's website for the latest drivers:
  3. Verify game files: If you're experiencing crashes or other issues, verify the integrity of your game files. This process checks for missing or corrupted files and replaces them as needed.
  4. Adjust graphics settings: Lowering graphics settings can help improve performance on lower-end systems. See our page on graphics settings for more information.
  5. Close background applications: Close any unnecessary applications running in the background, as they can consume system resources and impact performance.
