But this guide is made to help players who can’t afford a high-end PC and constantly have lag and other FPS problems with the game. So follow the two steps below to significantly improve your performance of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
Step 1: Adjust Graphics Settings
There are two levels of graphics options in Sekiro’s game menu: General and Advanced. Let’s first start with the general settings:
Go to Graphics Options in the Options menu. Set Automatic Rendering Adjustment to Off
Now you can enter the Advanced Options menu for the following adjustments:
Texture Quality: Max Antialiasing Application: On SSAO: Off Depth of Field: Off Motion Blur: Off Shadow Quality: Low Lighting Quality: Medium Effects Quality: Medium Volumetric Quality: Low Reflections Quality: Low Water Surface Quality: Low Shader Quality: Medium
Here you can experiment with antialiasing, and set it to “off” in case your FPS still drops. However, the game looks really bad without it, so it is recommended to keep this setting enabled.
To note, the biggest causes of FPS drop in Sekiro have to deal with shadow quality, AA, and SSAO — even on high-end PCs. Depending on the power you have in your rig, you can toy with other settings first, then tweak these last if you have FPS left over, bringing them up or down as needed.
Step 2: Modify the Configuration File
In addition to the graphics settings in the game’s menu, you can edit the configuration file. This adjustment is not necessary, but it will help you unlock a few more FPS and give a slight boost to the overall performance of the game. However, it’s advisable to do this as a last-ditch effort.
Go to “\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Sekiro” folder on your PC. Open the GraphicsConfig. xml file in a text editor. Type Disable in the ShadeQuality line Type Disable in the LodQuality line Type Disable in the VolumetricQuality line
