60 FPS | Cutscenes are capped at 30 FPS. | ||
120+ FPS | Frame rate is capped at 60 FPS. See High frame rate. | ||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. |
Field of view (FOV)
- id5 Tweaker increases the upper limit of the FOV to 200 and allows changing viewmodel FOV as well.
- It is recommended to keep g_fov at a maximum of 120 for a wide field of view without fish-eye effect at 16:9 resolutions and hands_fovscale at 1.0 to avoid making the character hands and weapons disproportinate to the screen or broken in certain situations.
Adjust FOV values[9] |
---|
|
Anti-aliasing (AA)
- Tested up to 16x MSAA. Can drastically reduce performance and could cause some graphical issues with depth of field, shadows and screen-space reflections[10]
- This has no effect on many edges in the game but will help reduce jaggies on geometry edges.[11]
Enable MSAA Anti-aliasing |
---|
|
Vertical sync (Vsync)
- The in-game Vsync option may not work correctly if used in conjunction with G-sync, and/or if using the unofficial high frame rate mod.
Alternative Vsync[citation needed] |

Issues fixed
Vertical sync disables itself intermittently
Force Vsync and triple buffering[9] |
---|
|
"Wolfenstein is not responding" crash
- The game may crash soon after starting when using outdated graphics card drivers.
Install recommended graphics card drivers[15][16] |
---|
|
Game crashes to desktop on random intervals on AMD graphics cards
- There is an issue where Catalyst AI causes the crashes. In older drivers this could be turned off in the software, but now it must be done manually.
- Unknown if this issue has been fixed by AMD graphics driver updates.
Disable Catalyst AI[17] |
---|
Notes
|
Displayed game exceeds range of visibility on the screen
Disable DPI scaling in Windows |
---|
|
Major FPS issues on AMD cards
- The AMD's OpenGL driver is notorious for low performance.
Since 22.7.1 driver on Polaris and newer architectures, the Old Blood received a major FPS increase, while New Order still works poorly.
Use these id5Tweaker config settings:[18] |
