Recommended settings

Some settings matter a lot, they give you crucial information. Menu by menu:

Game

• Riding Mode: Steer with Mouse or Steer with Keys, mostly preference, but Steer with Mouse allows faster, sharper turns.
• Artillery Menu: personal preference.
• Assisted Aiming: class dependent, check the class guides.
• Units Color: preference, pick colors that are easy to see on the battlefield.

Keyboard

• In Change Keys, go through every bind and put unit formations on easily reachable keys.
• In General, set sensitivity and whether to sprint or roll by double tapping. Once your formation keys are bound you can disable “Double tap to cycle formations”.

UI

• Disable “Attire Camera Effect” for clarity and “Close Battle Minimap” for more info. Disable “Competition Livestream Mode” unless you are streaming.
• Reduce the overall UI size for visibility, anything under 90% is a good range.

Graphic

• Use full window mode if you can, limit FPS to your monitor refresh rate, disable Vertical Sync if you are over 60Hz, and avoid Super Sampling. Reducing the max players visible in fiefs gives a big FPS boost.
• Check the FPS Guide for the full graphic-settings walkthrough.

Camera

• Maybe the most important menu. Choose Normal Mode over Camera Mode, and do yourself a favour: zoom out as much as possible for better visibility.
• Disable “Kill Cam (Specific Weapon Only)” for better camera control with the DB and Poleaxe ultimate.

Sound

• Keep it high enough to hear flanking cavalry, the rest is personal preference.
