You guys need to add other graphic/video settings for those that have low end computers or outdated models cause not all players are lucky to upgrade.

There's literally graphic settings in the game; set everything to "cursed"

I got it running on a 2018 HP laptop at 30 fps with everything on rare quality...

Unless of course you want "Nintendo 64 mode" to become officially supported and the game never loads in right

If your that low...how are you even running it?
Most current and last few year pc can run this game on low settings no problem.

I would be behind an idea like this.

While my GTX1060 can run the game fine, the planned obsolescence issue facing technology now is becoming very serious. And by insisting on leaving older machines behind people are only contributing to the problem

So yes, add lower detail settings to prolong the life of older devices before they are left behind.

For those of you who don't know what planned obsolescence is, it's when a device is designed to become obsolete in order to make you buy a new one. Stuff like the Xbox 360, or PS3 and soon Xbox 1 and PS4 are designed to be replaced by newer models.

Gamedevs will (by no fault of their own) make stuff for the newest hardware, but by not adding functionality for older models, they get thrown away and the parts end up in other parts of the world where they are burnt in order to retrieve precious metals from the circuitry. This releases tons of toxic gases and chemicals.

Normally I would be against dragging world issues like this into games (because games are supposed to be an escape from the problems of the world) but if there are some people who would benefit from functionality from older technology then an idea like this should be pushed forward as much as possible.

It wouldn't even need to be permanent. Technology will overtake old models eventually, but by at leat trying to keep them alive, you would be helping cut down on pollutants and dangerous work carried out by the people who burn the computer parts.

problem is i have it set at cursed but my fps is at 20 to 50 h

Typically around 300-400 AUD, but I'm not sure where you are, so it could be "more or less" for you, but it's something you really just have to look into yourself since we have no clue what currency you use.

You sure it's not another issue with your specific pc? "Cursed" settings are pretty low as is, if anything, this game needs settings to improve lighting, special effects, particle effects, ray tracing, and overall, more features. Last time I played this game on "Cursed" was when I played this game on an old laptop passed down to me from my father decades back when he no longer needed it. I was planning on making it the next family heir- loom but the battery port started having problems.

Nah there's only two ways to play Sea of Thieves on a low-end PC.

• Purchase an upgrade, which will be very expensive and probably not within your budget.
  or
• Get Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $15~ a month and use Xbox Cloud Gaming to play this game on an Xbox instance.

so plz give players that have low end computers and outdated models more options to be able to play your game with better fps and less lag. until they can finally upgrade

What are you trying to run it on?
I got the game to give me 20 fps in an fx 8320 and 650ti. sure the resolution was 540 and settings were cursed, but it still ran.

@steppingfish438 They mentioned in the patch notes for today's update, that improvements have been made for low-end systems. Maybe your wish came true!

Performance and Stability
Improvements made to general client performance on lower-spec hardware.

I've got a GeForce GTX950 and I'm able to run it at more than 60 FPS on 720p (settings on common). Tbh, it runs on 9 old consoles, I doubt they are doing a bad job on optimizing the game.

You can also get the Game Pass Ultimate and play on cloud if have those kind of issues (unless your connection is very bad too).
