To improve frame rates in Enshrouded, optimize its graphics settings and utilize upscaling tools such as OptiScaler and DS Swapper to balance quality and performance.

Check Graphics Settings in Enshrouded

Effective FPS improvement begins with reviewing and adjusting the game's graphics settings.

steps

  1. Launch Enshrouded and navigate to "Settings" > "Display."
  2. Review the available options, such as antialiasing (FSR3, FXAA, FSR inputs), to determine the best compromise between visual quality and performance.

Improve Upscaling with OptiScaler

Since Enshrouded’s Vulkan API can limit its default upscaling capabilities, OptiScaler offers a workaround.

steps

  1. Download the OptiScaler tool from its official website.
  2. Open your game installation directory. In Steam, click the cogwheel icon next to the game, select "Manage," then "Browse local files."
  3. Extract OptiScaler files such as "D3D12 Optiscaler DLSS overrides," "fake NV API," "XCSS configurations," and "setup windows.bat" into the game directory.
  4. Run the "setup windows.bat" file, selecting options suitable for your hardware (e.g., "whim.dll" for Vulkan). Then, enable the signature override in the DLSS folder.
  5. Configure OptiScaler to use XCSS for improved image stability and save the settings for optimal results.
