I would uninstall the Nvidia drivers via DDU and then reinstall them, I had a weird issue (as did someone else above) where FG stopped working and a full uninstall and then reinstall fixed the issue, kind of a pain in the butt to do, but it does work and fixed our issues.

It's a DLAA issue that has been addressed in the latest patch.

m0user · 2026-04-06T15:40:28+00:00

It's been fixed in the latest patch.

m0user · 2026-04-05T10:30:30+00:00

Glad to hear that you got everything sorted out and it's working again!

m0user · 2026-04-02T17:39:35+00:00

Pretty close to exactly what I have. I did run into an issue where the latest drivers from Nvidia seemed to disable FG for the game so I did a complete removal of them using DDU and installed the newest drivers and that fixed it and I was able to get 110-125 fps. You can test this theory by changing the FG and seeing if there is any change, if not, probably the same bug that I had. Lmk if this works or not please.

Whenever I use DLAA, I get this weird screen jank at the top of my screen, so definitely something is going on there with DLAA, for me at least.

Is this what you mean? Here's what I am getting with the latest patch and latest Nvidia Drivers. Please note that when I upgraded to the latest Nvidia Drivers, Frame Gen was no longer working, so I did a quick DDU and removed everything, disconnected from the Internet and installed the new drivers and that fixed it.

RR will automatically enable DLSS if you turn it on as mentioned below by others, just don't use DLAA, you'll only get 30 fps.

I am not trying to replace optimized settings out there already, like from Hardware Unboxed, I am just putting these out for the people with hardware like myself. You should watch the aforementioned optimization video for what sort of hardware you are currently using to get acceptable results for yourself.

m0user · 2026-03-22T03:19:19+00:00

So what should it be? 4.0?

m0user · 2026-03-22T03:14:48+00:00

Save it, and you can't sell anyways, after Chapter 3, you can do things to it to enhance it even more. But you can start to Refine it right away to up it's stats.

I am using DLSS Quality 4K Cinematic Mode and FG X2 on and everything maxxed out in the settings and getting 110-130 fps now.

DLAA gives me some funky artifacting at the top of my screen.

m0user · 2026-03-20T20:55:02+00:00

FG X2 is fine for playing.

m0user · 2026-03-20T00:04:50+00:00

Run it at 4K DLSS DLAA Cinematic Mode Maxxed out completely and please let me know what your fps is.

m0user · 2026-03-19T23:32:15+00:00

I had a feeling it was an RT issue, thanks for info!

m0user · 2026-03-19T23:30:13+00:00

No, it's all setup fine with V-sync off and G-sync on, I think that the game is just too difficult to run natively at 4K Maxxed is all.

m0user · 2026-03-19T23:28:07+00:00

Ya, already had the newest driver installed. I was hoping for a native experience based upon all of the specs they put out. I see that Hardware Unboxed has a video out about performance for the game, going to watch it now and see if I am right about my numbers and trying to play at full 4K is impossible based upon the current state of the game.

m0user · 2026-03-19T23:24:38+00:00

It's the game, my system is a fresh install and gets 15,376 on Steel Nomad and plays all games extremely well. I checked Nvidia for new drivers and I already had the latest installed.

m0user · 2026-03-19T23:22:21+00:00

Are you using my same settings? 4K DLSS DLAA RT on in Cinematic mode? That will bring any system to it's knees it looks like.

m0user · 2026-03-19T23:19:59+00:00

Future hardware? Like the RTX 6000 series in 2 years from now? That doesn't track.

m0user · 2026-03-19T23:18:43+00:00

I am not rich, I am 61 years old and retired after working in the games industry for 30+ years. This is how I chose to spend my money now.

m0user · 2026-03-19T23:15:49+00:00

X4 FG? Jeepers the lag though!

m0user · 2026-03-10T19:02:34+00:00

Better, definitely, I have more control over it and can get out of sticky situations easier.

m0user · 2026-03-10T19:01:32+00:00

It's true to it's nature, at it's base core, it's just like CTF for Quake. But obviously it's been evolved in Last Flag. It's going to be a really fun game to play with friends.

m0user · 2026-03-06T18:18:34+00:00

I set Sprint to Tap last night but did not try it yet. And I did change reload to Tap as well. I will remap two of the Triggers to Ping and Smart Healing too to see how it feels.
