Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Fellowship is Unreal Engine 5 with full upscaler support. An easy win — and in a dungeon crawler about keeping your rotation up, stable FPS beats sharpness.
Global IlluminationLow+14% FPS
UE5’s Lumen lighting — the heaviest setting. Dungeons still look great on Medium.
Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS
Shadow resolution. An easy notch down with little visible cost in combat.
Effects QualityLow+9% FPS
Spell effects — four players’ abilities plus boss mechanics stack fast. Lowering this keeps frames stable exactly when the fight gets dangerous.
ReflectionsOff+7% FPS
Screen-space (and optional ray-traced) reflections. Off/Low is the stable competitive choice.
VolumetricsLow+7% FPS
Fog, clouds and light shafts. Low/Medium is a solid saving in the dungeons.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows for depth. SSAO is the cheap, good-looking option.
View DistanceLow+5% FPS
Draw distance — dungeons are contained spaces, so this is cheaper than in open worlds.
Post ProcessingLow+5% FPS
Bloom and screen effects. Cheap to lower; some players prefer the cleaner look for reading boss telegraphs.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness. Nearly free with 6GB+ VRAM.
