Note For PC Players
If you are playing STAR WARS Zero Company on an NVIDIA GTX 10-series or RTX 20-series graphics cards that meet Minimum Specification, adjusting a specific video setting can help improve your overall framerates.
These graphics architectures can encounter additional rendering overhead when processing complex environmental detail.
Optimization Steps:
- Open Options and select Graphics.
- Find the Environment Geometry Detail option.
- Switch Environment Geometry Detail to Off.
Disabling this setting lowers geometry processing overhead, which can assist in stabilizing and improving framerates on these GPU configurations.
