on

You’ve stepped into Jinwoo’s shoes, ready to grind from E-Rank weakling to unstoppable Shadow Monarch… but instead of boss fights, you’re battling stutters, sudden FPS drops, input delay, and visuals that don’t match your hardware’s potential.

Don’t worry—you’re not alone. Since launch, Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE has pushed even strong PCs to their limits. Heavy particle effects, rapid combat pacing, and large-scale shadow summons all strain performance.

The good news?
With community-proven tweaks, smart GPU settings, and optimized in-game configurations, your game can transform from choppy to insanely smooth.

This complete performance guide gathers real player discoveries, verified benchmark data, and reliable PC optimization practices to deliver the best possible experience on any system.

⚙️ PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION GUIDE

1. Force DLSS / FSR (Community’s #1 FPS Boost)

The game does not currently support DLSS or FSR natively, but players have confirmed major FPS gains using safe, driver-level overrides.

✔ NVIDIA App – DLSS Override (Safe Method)

Players report up to +30–45% FPS using:

  • DLSS Override → Performance Mode

  • Sharpening → 25–35%

This DOES NOT modify game files → safe from EAC.

⚠ Avoid Manual DLL Injection

Injecting DLSS/FSR DLLs into the game folder can trigger Easy Anti-Cheat. Use only driver tools.

2. Major Performance Bottlenecks & Fixes

๐Ÿ“‰ Chapter 6 – Ice Area FPS Drops

Huge performance dip reported in community threads.
Fix: lower these settings:

  • Shadows → Low

  • Effects → Medium

  • Volumetrics → Off/Low

๐Ÿ•ถ Shadow Army Spawn Lag (Summoner / Ruler Class)

Spawning 20+ shadows → CPU bottleneck.
Fixes:

  • Close browsers & background apps

  • Cap FPS to 60

  • Set Windows CPU Scheduler → High Performance

⏱ General Stutters / Frame Pacing Issues

Community-confirmed fixes:

  • Cap framerate to 60 FPS
