EVERSPACE 2 – How to Boost FPS and Performance

A guide on how to boost FPS/performance in EVERSPACE 2.

How to Boost FPS and Performance

A guide to get more fps by switching to DX11, settings and their FPS impact.

Devs Information

Rockfish Studios Community Representative stated 22.01.21 that there are problems with DX12 and framerates. He recomended everyone to switch to DX11 for the time being.

I want to explain to the community how to do it, even though it has already been done in another guide and said often in the forums, but in different context.

Switching to DX11 for the Biggest FPS Boost

Step 1

Right click on Everspace 2 in the steam library and click on “Properties”.

Step 2

Now type “-dx11” without the quotes into the box, as shown on the immage.

That’s it! Start it up, and hopefully it humms.
