Step-By-Step of additional modifications that benefit FPS in New World. This is an excellent way to gain an extra bit of competetive advantage.

Disable Steam Overlay

The steam overlay isn’t really needed in New World. Might as well disable it to not have the overlay process running in the background while you play. Steam overlay may also cause issues with other external overlays and recording softwares.

• Right-Click “New World” in your Steam Library and select “Properties”.
• In the “General” tab, disable “Enable the Steam overlay while in-game”.

Windows Graphics Settings

Windows likes to reserve vacant GPU resources to give you a more consistent desktop experience. Instead we’d want to tell Windows to prioritise New World once it’s launched.

• Right-Click “New World” in your Steam Library and select “Properties”. Select the “Local Files” tab and click on “Browse…”.
• Open folder “Bin64”.
• Click on the address bar to highlight the entire file location and copy it [CTRL] + [C].
• Open Windows Search Bar. Type “Graphics Settings” and click [ENTER].
• Enable “Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling”.
• Under “Graphics Performance Settings”, click “Browse”.
• Click on the address bar to highlight the current file location and paste [CTRL] + [V] your previously-copied address into the field and hit [ENTER].
• Select/Highlight “NewWorld.exe” and press [ENTER].
• At the bottom of the “Graphics Settings” window, click on “NewWorld.exe” and click “Options”.
• Select “High Performance” and click “Save”.
