3. Switch Display Modes
Sometimes switching between fullscreen and windowed modes can stabilize performance. From the in-game settings:
- Go to Settings > Video.
- Try switching between fullscreen, borderless windowed, or windowed modes.
This may help depending on your screen resolution and PC performance.
4. Run the Game as Administrator
Running Arena Breakout: Infinite as an administrator can resolve potential permission issues that might affect performance:
- Right-click the game’s shortcut and select Properties.
- Under the Compatibility tab, check the box labeled Run this program as an administrator.
- Click Apply and then OK to save your changes.
5. Close Unnecessary Background Tasks
Background applications can consume system resources, which may cause the game to stutter or drop frames. To close them:
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager.
- Go to the Processes tab and identify resource-heavy tasks.
- Right-click on any unnecessary tasks and select End Task to close them.
Once done, restart your system to ensure the changes take effect.
6. Stop Background Downloads
Ensure no downloads or updates run in the background while playing the game. Downloading large files can significantly reduce your PC’s available bandwidth and resources, impacting performance. Pause any background activity to free up resources for the game.
7. Use Auto Settings in Video Options
If you’re still encountering FPS issues, try switching to the game’s auto video settings:
- Press Esc during gameplay and go to Settings > Video.
- Select Auto Settings to allow the game to adjust the graphics settings based on your system’s capabilities.
If problems persist, try lowering specific video settings like shadows, textures, and anti-aliasing.
Ensure your PC is using the High-Performance power plan:
- Open the Control Panel and go to Hardware and Sound > Power Options.
- Select High-Performance mode, which prioritizes performance over energy efficiency.
Note: This will increase power consumption, especially on laptops, but should improve game performance.
If none of the above steps resolve your issue, you may want to contact the game’s support team for further assistance.
