I highly recommend allowing this process to complete and using the recommended tweaks as a starting point.

You’ll see two categories in this submenu: Screen Preference and Graphics.

We’ll focus on the best options for Screen Preference first.

South of Midnight character

Otherwise, you’ll have to start all over again when you open it back up.

Note that your mileage may vary; each PC is different in terms of components and capabilities.

This can create more vibrant visuals at the cost of GPU performance.

The sewers could be a new location according to the Schedule 1 roadmap.

Many monitors are simply not capable of displaying in HDR.

This shouldn’t affect performance.

Resolution

1920 x 1080

This is the default setting, and a common resolution for most non-4K monitors.

Upscaling

DLSS/TAAU

Upscaling can increase frame rates by artificially increasing the game’s resolution.

Quality

Ultra performance

Ultra performance strikes the best balance between upscaling quality without detracting from performance.

V-sync

V-sync alleviates screen tearing at the cost of a few frames per second.

It should always be off, unless you’re experiencing disruptive screen tearing.

Frame rate limiter

Limits the maximum frame rate to either 30 or 60 fps.

The stop motion effect setting in South of Midnight’s menu.

Turn this on if you’re still having screen tearing issues and v-sync reduces performance by too much.

Anti-aliasing quality

Low

Smooths the edges of objects.

Not too noticeable without it here.

View distance quality

Affects how much of the world in front of you is visible.

Medium is recommended for a good balance.

Shadow quality

Affects the clarity and smoothness of shadows.

PC-1

You won’t miss this too much.

PostProcess quality

Changes how much detail is rendered in special effects.

Medium allows for enough detail without too many frames being lost.

Gaming

Texture quality

Alters how much detail is rendered on in-game surfaces.

Medium looks good without putting too much strain on your GPU.

Effects quality

Changes the quality with which effects like Hazel’s magic are rendered.

South of Midnight

Medium is the best balance between visuals and performance.

Foliage quality

Affects the number and detail of leaves and blades of grass rendered in-game.

As you could see,these recommended tweaks keep the game looking good without detracting too much from performance.

That should allow you to cope withSouth of Midnight’s demanding combat on any difficulty.

Stop motion animation was perhaps most notably used in classic Rankin/Bass animated Christmas specials likeRudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Simply look for the option called “Stop motion effect,” and toggle it to off.

And with that, you should have everything you should probably tweak the graphical prefs to your liking.
