How to improve performances (FPS)?

EreaDrone is continuously optimised, ensuring all pilots can fly comfortably in the simulator. However, on some computers, you may encounter performance issues.

1 - Make sure your computer meets the required configuration

First, make sure your computer meets at least the requirements:

Minimum configuration	Recommended configuration
OS: Windows 7 64bits CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-4460 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 4GB / AMD Radeon RX 470 4GB Memory: 8GB RAM Storage: 35GB HDD Newtork: Internet connection Controller: Game controller or remote	OS: Windows 10 64bits CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-9600K / AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 8GB / AMD Radeon RX 590 8GB Memory: 12GB RAM Storage: 35GB SSD Newtork: Internet connection Controller: Game controller or remote

2 - Reduce graphics settings

EreaDrone offers multiple quality presets in the graphics settings. You can try to decrease them little by little until the performances meet your requirements.

You can access the graphics settings: Press Escape, then Options, and select the Graphics tab.

You can also tweak these settings:

Disable Motion blur
Decrease Shadow Distance
Disable Volumetric Lighting
Disable Volumetric Cloud
Disable Fog
Disable Distance Blur
Disable Ambient Occlusion
Disable Bloom
Disable Depth of Field
Disable Planar Reflection
Disable Foliage
Change Antialiasing to FXAA or none

Still feeling frame stutters?

While you may have high FPS, it may happen that the game feels stuttery. This is caused by extremely short FPS drops (dropping from 240 to 180, for example). This will make the game feel unstable.

A second cause of the stutters can be screen tearing. Some monitors have syncing technologies such as Nvidia GSync or AMD FreeSync. Or you can also enable the VSync option, compatible with all monitors. This option will sync the framerate to the screen, at 60FPS, fixing all screen tearing.

3 - Last tricks

If EreaDrone is still having low framerates, check if your computer has any demanding processes working in the background. You can also raise EreaDrone's task priority with the Task Manager.

Other factors may also cause framerate issues, such as overclocking and outdated drivers. Make sure your graphics card driver is updated.
