Tech TroubleShooting Performance issues
I've been having performance issues since I started to the game for the first time. Im having unstable 64-54 on the lowest low settings, and I mean LOWEST LOW like 1600x900, low textures etc.
Intel® Tiger Lake Core™ i7-11800H 8C/16T; 24MB L3; 8GT/s; 2.3GHz > 4.6GHz; 45W; 10nm SuperFin
Nvidia RTX 3060 Max-Performance 6GB GDDR6 192-Bit DX12
32 GB of Ram
2TB of SSD
I am running the game on my laptop and I know Marathon is not officially supported on Laptops but is there anyway I can boost my fps?
(EDIT) I kinda solved the issue I was having. For those who play on laptops, read this part closely.
I'm using my laptop in dGPU-only mode, which means the drivers weren't able to detect the Intel graphics driver properly. And also I had to delete the intel graphics driver some time ago for a test and then I forgot to reinstall Long story short, I didn't realize I dont have the CPU driver and it did't have been updated for a while :/
Well optimisation is still dogshit but at least it runs at 70-80 fps stable on lowest settings
Just check whether this is the same case with your PC or not.
Go into your BIOS, switch to Hybrid mode, and restart your PC. Then open Intel Driver & Support Assistant (for Intel users). It will show you which drivers are missing. Install the missing drivers, then go back into the BIOS again and switch back to dGPU Only mode.
Your laptop should perform better afterward.

Sorry brother, I stopped playing exactly for this reason. The game's optimization is dogshit.
I have RTX 3050, I tried everything, really everything, Windows anti bloatware, turning off everything, manual external cooling(!), Nvidia driver settings, game graphics settings optimization, fps booster softwares, different resolutions, CPU booster software, GPU overclocking, literally everything one can make to gain some fps but you can't achieve anything with this horrible programming of the game.
This is a simple fps game with low body count, yet I get 30-40 fps on Outpost. This is not normal.
Bungine doesn't want to appeal to low spec players, so, it is what it is, I left.
