Turn on Detailed Performance Overlay first and identify whether the warning is client performance, network, or server related. For a client-performance warning, use Fullscreen, lower shadows, textures, and effects, let shader preloading finish after updates, and close heavy background apps. Then update the graphics driver and compare the PC with the current requirements.
Open Settings > Video > Advanced and enable Detailed Performance Overlay. Watch the icon or message when the slowdown happens. A client-performance warning points to the PC; network and server warnings need different troubleshooting.
Repeat the same movement, destruction, and camera turn in the Practice Range. Note the FPS, display mode, resolution, upscaler, and quality preset so each change is compared in the same scene.

Use Fullscreen for the performance test
Choose Fullscreen in the Video settings, apply it, and repeat the route. If you need Borderless for easier app switching, compare it afterward and keep the mode that is both stable and practical for you.
4
Lower shadows, textures, and effects
Reduce Shadows, Textures, and Effects one level at a time, as Embark recommends for client-performance warnings. Repeat the same route after each change and keep the clearest setup that removes the warning.
5
Let shader preloading finish
After a game update, graphics-driver update, or major settings change, wait for shader preloading to complete. Repeatedly closing the game during this work can make the same preparation start again on the next launch.
Close recording, browser video, downloads, and unneeded overlays. Install the current stable graphics driver, restart Windows, and repeat the same Practice Range route.
7
Compare the PC with current requirements
Check the processor, memory, graphics card, and Windows version against Embark's current requirements. A client-performance warning below the minimum is not likely to disappear through one hidden setting or copied configuration file.
If the overlay shows a network or server warning while FPS stays steady, stop lowering graphics settings and follow the connection or service-status guidance for that icon.
If the first session after an update stutters, allow shader preloading to finish and test a second session before changing several settings.
If the client-performance warning appears only after the PC heats up, check temperatures, vents, and laptop power mode before lowering every visual setting.
