PERFORMANCE BOOST / OVERCLOCKING GUIDE / ReShade

HUGE SANDSTORM PERFORMANCE FIX SPREADING ONLINE. Got this from Reddit.

DELETE EVERYTHING IN THIS FOLDER
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Insurgency\Saved\Config\WindowsClient

on all settings VERY HIGH i'm now getting over 180 frames and NO stuttering. Best framerate and performance i've EVER gotten. Dont worry about your character and stats, those are stored server-side. You can make a copy of the folder just incase you're extra worried. I'm telling you though....the game has NEVER run smoother.

This is a good quick fix but I hope the devs come out with a hotfix within the next few days/weeks.
I really enjoyed the game before the pre release hotfix and hope to see it in a better state.

Didn't work. No change at all for me.
However when the release came out I did notice a slight FPS boost.
I think the reason you might have gotten that boost is because you had something turned on in the options. For example upsampling or whatever to 1.25.

@Sgt-Kanyo I'm guessing you're the guy from online when we were playing precinct and i told you about this? These are my settings.

I also right clicked on the exe in this folder, and clicked off these 2 check boxes

Going to post my reshade preset here: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=01169818578195632757

Install reshade on the exe found in this DIR:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sandstorm\Insurgency\Binaries\Win64

Then throw my file in that same folder. Here's before and after photos. Cheers!

Ah I don't think so, I haven't discussed performance in game, but thanks anyways.
I think performance wise my game is running fine.
Could be better, but the damage system is a lot more irritating and the bots that 1 shot kill me occasionally.

Hmm, didnt work for me at all. I deleted EVERYTHING in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Insurgency\Saved\Config\WindowsClient folder. I started the game, kept graphics at default settings, including the sub-graphic part , got into a game and was met with choppy gameplay and not-so-good FPS.
