About Palworld
Palworld is Pocketpair's open-world survival and base-building game, which the developers have described as Pokemon with guns.

How can I get more FPS in Palworld?
In survival and sandbox games, large bases and many objects hit the CPU hard, so reduce view distance and object density, and install the game on an SSD to avoid stutter while areas load. Palworld recommends 16 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
