Blue Protocol: Star Resonance – Best PC Settings to Boost FPS, Fix Stuttering & Enhance Visibility (2025 Guide)

You’ve got the dream setup — an RTX 4070, a blazing-fast CPU, and enough RAM to power Asterleeds itself — yet your frame rate still crawls at a cinematic 45 FPS. Your GPU usage? Barely 40%.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Welcome to Blue Protocol: Star Resonance’s “Performance Paradox.”

Despite its stunning anime-inspired world, the game’s default settings can leave even high-end rigs struggling with frame drops, stutters, and weird FPS caps. This comprehensive optimization guide compiles community-tested tweaks, developer insights, and real-world hardware tuning to help you achieve flawless performance.

Whether you’re raiding world bosses or exploring the luminous cities of Asterleeds, these tips will make your experience smoother, sharper, and more responsive.


⚙️ Foundational Graphics Settings for Maximum Performance

Blue Protocol: Star Resonance – Best PC Settings Guide
Fullscreen vs. Borderless: The Display Mode Debate

Performance Verdict:

  • Fullscreen Exclusive: ✅ Best FPS & stability

  • Borderless Windowed: ⚖️ Great for multitasking, minor performance drop

  • Windowed Mode: ❌ Avoid completely

Community Testing Results (RTX 3070 Ti range):

  • Fullscreen: 5–15% higher FPS in crowded areas

  • Borderless: 2–5% performance penalty but easier alt-tabbing

  • Pro Tip: Use Fullscreen for gameplay, Borderless for casual sessions


🎨 Essential Visual Settings for FPS Gains

Priority #1: Heavy Performance Hitters

  • Shadows: High → Medium (+25% FPS, minimal visual loss)

  • Post-Processing: High → Medium (fixes blur)

  • Anti-Aliasing: High → Medium (less GPU strain)

Visibility Optimization Settings

  • Motion Blur: Off

  • Lens Flare: Off

  • Glow Effect: Low/Off (sharpens image)

  • V-Sync: Off (use GPU control panel instead)

Skill Effect Clarity

  • Ally Skill Effects: Normal/Minimal

  • Enemy Skill Effects: High (for combat visibility)

  • Particle Quality: Medium


🔧 Advanced Configuration & System Tweaks

Unlocking the Hidden FPS Cap

Fix via Config File:

  1. Go to: Documents > Blue Protocol Star Resonance > Config

  2. Open settings.json in Notepad++

  3. Find FrameRateLimit

  4. Set it to your desired FPS (120, 144, 240, or 0 = unlimited)

  5. Save and set file to Read-Only

Example:

"FrameRateLimit": 144, "WindowMode": 0, "ResolutionQuality": 100

Windows System Optimization

Disable Fullscreen Optimizations:

  1. Right-click the game’s .exe → Properties → Compatibility

  2. Check “Disable fullscreen optimizations”

Power Management Tips:
