Tips on improving performance

Quote from Zantai:

That said, for anyone having issues launching the game after the latest V1.0.2.0 update or have experienced problems with visuals or loss of FPS, please try the following:

  1. Verify Game Files in Steam
  2. Run Repair.exe located in your Grim Dawn install folder.
  3. Delete Options.txt from \Documents\my games\Grim Dawn\Settings

If none of those work, add “/d3d9” to your launch options for the game.

How to set Launch Options:

The /d3d9 part will most likely solve your problem.
