Why Does SCUM Run Differently on Different PC Builds?
Closed threadWhy does SCUM seem to run so differently between PC builds? I see people sharing screenshots with really smooth gameplay, then others complaining about stuttering even with decent hardware. Obviously graphics settings and hardware matter, but I'm curious about what everyone has found useful. Do you normally lower shadows first, adjust view distance or change other settings? Also, are there any common mistakes people make when troubleshooting FPS drops?

Shadows are usually one of the first things I experiment with.
Don't forget temperatures. Thermal throttling can cause problems too.
My favourite optimization is buying a better PC. Very affordable solution.
Thanks for the financially responsible advice lmao.
Seriously though, compare performance in the same area and conditions when testing settings. Otherwise it's difficult to know what actually helped.
