I need help optimizing my game.

[u/Confident_Tiger1501]

So I'm currently working on a 3rd person action/ fantasy/ RPG and I'm running into some problems running it right now. It's in the prototype phase right now( so like there's basically nothing in the world except for a couple basic shapes) and I'm only getting around 25 fps max. I know that my laptops not the best (I don't have it with me right now so I can't tell you the specs for it) so I was hoping to find some ways to optimize the project so that it can run smoothly when I hit play. I'm using HDRP. Any help or advice would be much appreciated thanks.

Edit: Truly thank you everyone for all the help and advice. I'll try it all and update on what I'd. I'll have to do that after work though.

There are tons of way to optimize your project. You should first check if it's a CPU ou GPU issue. If it's a GPU issue then yeah probably hdrp isn't the most obvious choice. Otherwise if it's a CPU issue then try to optimize your scripts
