@anazhd-legacy (anazhd) posted a new topic, subject "Increase FPS and Some CFG Settings". It read:

   Well, some of us do play on a laptop or low-end desktop pc. And you know, common problems… FPS blablablablablablbalbal. So here is what I did to make my gaming experience a lot better on low-end pc. ( well I'm on mid-end tho )
    
    **1\. run Rust with this launch option**
    
    > -force-feature-level-9-3 -high -force-driver-type-warp
    
      * note that you may remove the warp if your pc cant support it. you can also put “-nolog” but meh, no log means no support if you got crashed a lot. log is important.
    
    
    
    **2\. slide the render thingy in Rust all the way to the left**
    
    **3\. go to \Steam\SteamApps\common\rust\cfg** and edit the **client.cfg** file ( below ). So, **each time** you run Rust, you dont have to press F1 and type again and again and again.

    Ok that's it. FPS still low? it's time to get a new computer.
    
    p.s: idk if someone else already post this or not. just sharing.

So @Heisenberg-legacy_1 (.-Heisenberg) replied

    it is really nice now i play with 60-80 fps. Before that 20fps  
    I cant find a client.cfg or a cfg folder in rust

To which @Crashty-legacy (Crashty) replied

    can you confirm that censor.nudity False works there?

After which, @anazhd-legacy (anazhd) added

    it's totally working. no more F1 to have fun with gyrocopter.

@MickDick-legacy (MickDick) replied

    I assume this particular launch command set still causes a funky sky?

Then @anazhd-legacy (anazhd) said

    funky sky or epic sky, both doesnt cause radiation.

    [code]
        -force-feature-level-9-3
        
        
    [/code]
    
    From MSDN: “A feature level does not imply performance, only functionality”. This is used so you can run Directx 11 mode with older hardware, it has no other effects.
    [code] 
        -force-driver-type-warp
        
        
    [/code]
    
    This should also have no effect or actually make the game run significantly slower. WARP is a software driver used as a reference, so your GPU will be much less utilized or not charlesscott@example.net.
    [code] 
        -force-gfx-direct
        
        
    [/code]
    
    Try this instead. It should give a nice boost if you have a single or dual core CPU (can work on quad cores too).

After which, @Crashty-legacy (Crashty) added

    I think -force-gfx-direct has been crashing my game since the last patch
