  • Soulbound is a browser-based MMO that can be performance-intensive.
  • Performance can be affected by CPU clock speed and age, with modern CPUs like M-series chips performing better.
  • Players may need to experiment with settings to find the best performance for their hardware.


Step 1: Set a Realistic Frame Rate Cap 0:53

  • Navigate to the graphics settings to adjust the frame rate cap.
  • Set a realistic frame rate cap based on your performance:
    • If struggling to maintain 40-50 FPS, cap it at 30 FPS.
    • This allows the browser more time for computations, improving overall gameplay experience despite lower visual smoothness.

Texture Scale and Graphics Settings 1:23

  • Lowering texture scale can significantly improve performance:
    • Reducing texture scale to a quarter can enhance smoothness, even if graphics appear poorer.
  • Experiment with texture size settings to find a balance between visual quality and performance.


Impact of Particles and Shaders 2:18
