New World Settings

Open the game and click settings at the top right to open New World Settings.

These settings will make your game look bad, however you will get more FPS and will be able to see things more clear. If you wish to make your game not look so bad, I recommend putting some settings on medium/high instead.

I have highlighted the settings that are more significant than others, and you may pick and choose what you want to sacrifice for more FPS.

Visuals
