Issues and Fixes

Performance And FPS Slowdown

Run Outside Of Steam

It's possible to run the game outside of Steam, which allows the game to benefit from not running the overlay.

Go to: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\gotham city impostors\Impostors.exe

Run the game from Impostors.exe instead of Steam.

Setting Process Affinity To High Priority

Once the game is running, it is possible to set the game to run at a higher affinity.

Whilst running the game, open task manager and set the Engine.exe and Impostors.exe affinity to 'high'.
