Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

Albion renders top-down, so a lower internal resolution is hard to notice — but the game is so light that most PCs won’t need it outside 100-player ZvZ fights.

Particle / Spell EffectsMedium+5% FPS

The setting that actually matters: in big ZvZ fights hundreds of spell effects overlap. Every serious PvP player drops this to Low for stable frames when it counts.

Shadow QualityLow+4% FPS

Character and building shadows. The next biggest saving after effects.

Ambient OcclusionOnbaseline

Soft contact shading. Minor cost, minor visual — fine either way.

Ground Clutter / VegetationHighbaseline

Grass and clutter density in the open world.

Texture QualityHighbaseline

Surface sharpness. Nearly free — Albion runs on 2GB cards.
