Set course for the tweaks menu
Nic reckonsHomeworld 3, the long-awaited spacefaringRTS, ismostly pretty good.
Easily doable, for most aspiring galactic admirals.
Seconds into an actual skirmish breaking out, that drops all the way into the sub-20fps range.
That leaves two solutions: activate upscaling, or lower other options.
It remains the best-looking of the upscaling options, with AMD FSR 2 coming in second.
Bigger performance enhancements, mind, can be found elsewhere in the options menu.
This nudged Epic performance up from 30fps to 34fps, without doing much harm to fidelity.
Use high res translucency:This, you’re able to leave enabled.
But, if youd rather stick to native rendering, then its fine to leave this on Epic.
I only got 2fps more on Low.
Post-processing:Another 2fps gain came by lowering this from Epic to Low.
Shadow quality:Again, 30fps on Epic became 32fps with this one setting switched to Low.
it’s possible for you to see the difference in screenshots, not so much in motion.
Visual effect quality:The real key to faster Homeworld 3 performance.
Screen space reflection quality:Leave on High.
Both the Low and Off controls kept average performance at an unchanged 30fps, so cutting reflections wont help.
As such, you’re free to probably leave it on the former.
Even so, the visual difference is pretty minor, so youre not missing out much by favouring performance.
