Best Graphics Settings for Schedule 1
Image Credit: TVGS, Schedule I
If Schedule 1 is chugging on your PC like it's trying to run on a toaster, don't worry—you're not alone. The game isn't fully optimized yet, so even decent setups might struggle until the full release. Below is a simple graphics settings guide that focuses on performance, so you can actually play the game instead of watching it turn into a slideshow.

Display Settings
Recommended Values
Resolution: Set this to your monitor's native resolution unless you're desperate—then lower it.
Display Mode: Exclusive Fullscreen (gives the best performance)
VSync: Off (reduces input delay, helps FPS)
Interface Scale: 45% to 50% (keeps things readable without bloating your screen)
Target Framerate: 40% (strangely, this works best right now)
Camera Bobbing: 70% (can adjust for comfort, but lowering might help motion clarity)
Graphics Settings
Best Settings for Performance
Quality: Medium (stable performance and still looks decent)
Anti-aliasing: Off (this can tank performance, even on good rigs)
SSAO (Ambient Occlusion): Off (small visual gain, big performance hit)
God Rays: On (adds a little visual spice, but can be turned off if needed)
FOV: Personal preference, but wide FOV can lower FPS slightly
Bonus Tips
If your game won’t start or lags on launch, try running it as administrator.
Turn off any overlays (Discord, NVIDIA, Steam) while playing. They can cause stuttering.
If you’re still getting bad performance on a decent rig, try lowering your resolution one notch.
Final Blurb
Schedule 1 isn’t too demanding, but its early access state means bugs and janky performance are still part of the deal. These settings should smooth things out enough so you can actually enjoy the chaos without your PC sounding like it’s about to lift off. If you’re still struggling, don’t worry—performance updates are likely on the way.
