•Graphics Settings for Steam Deck or Lower End PCs: For players on lower-end hardware or the Steam Deck, consider setting graphics to "Medium", turning off Vsync and Motion Blur, using "TSR" for Anti-Aliasing, and limiting Field of View to around 90 degrees for better performance.
•Internet Connection: A good internet connection is crucial not just for multiplayer but also for any online features or updates the game might utilize.
Playing on Different Platforms
•Steam vs. Game Pass: Note that Steam might use a slightly different version of "Palworld" than Game Pass, potentially for testing new features before broader release. This could affect performance or features slightly between these platforms.
•Linux Users: While the guide primarily focuses on Windows, if there's support or community workarounds for Linux (like through SteamCMD or Wine), similar hardware specs would be advisable for comparable performance.
Tips for Performance
•Frame Rates: Setting max fps to your monitor's refresh rate can optimize performance. If you're looking to reduce GPU load, setting it lower can help.
•Updates: Keep an eye on updates. "Palworld" has seen significant updates, like the Sakurajima update, which might require your system to handle new content or mechanics.
