Stability first
A stable frame time is more valuable than a slightly prettier scene. Extraction shooters punish stutter because every late input can cost cargo.
- Lower shadows
- Reduce post effects
- Check drivers
- Test one change at a time
SAND: Raiders of Sophie performance settings
Performance fixes should protect visibility and input consistency first. Pretty settings do not matter if the raid hitches during a fight.
Quick answer
Lower expensive visual settings first, keep view clarity high and test changes in a quiet route before trusting them in a high-value raid.
Troubleshooting path
Do not change every setting at once. Change one setting, test the same route and keep notes on what actually improved.
- Record baseline
- Change one setting
- Test a repeat route
- Keep the winner
sand raiders of sophie performance settings FAQ
What setting should I lower first?
Start with shadows and heavy post effects, then check resolution scale only if the game still struggles.
Should I use maximum graphics for visibility?
No. Favor stable frame timing and clear silhouettes over settings that add visual noise without tactical value.
